Running on Fumes

Today’s bit of advice from the kitchen. If you’ve had trouble with your coffee maker from day one I suggest you return it as soon as possible. It will save you a lot of headache in the near future. One warning sign that you bought the wrong one might be; when you find your coffee maker is spewing grinds and coffee out the top of the machine making a huge mess. If you do not heed to this red flag and decide to keep it, even though this continues to happen on any given day, buyer Beware. For one day you might wake up to a burning smell and see your kitchen filled with hot steam, and still no coffee. If this does happen to you, you can still make coffee by pouring boiling water over the grinds themselves. FYI this will take well over 25 minutes, causing you to be late and your coffee will taste like crap. If you’re lucky you will not live out in BFE where a Star Bucks does not exist. In which case you will not be forced to run off just the smell of the fumes from the coffee you couldn’t drink.

(BFE)-‘Butt F#@* Egypt’- a place where normal civilization does not exist.
