Just woke up. Stumbled into the kitchen to make coffee. Tossed in the filter, the grounds and instead of pouring in the filtered water from the brita pitcher, i poured in milk.

and didn't notice.

switched it on, stumbled into the shower.

refreshed and a bit more awake I stand in front of the coffee machine with my cup... and i'm still cursing my moronic idiot befudedled mind...

gawdammit!

LOL.
That's as bad as having one of those drip machines with the check valve that is levered open by the plastic lid on the coffee pot. And you make a pot of coffee and put the pot in it without that lid. And then you come back to find hot coffee all over the counter and the floor and only two teaspoons in the coffee pot.

This is the third machine to find itself in a high parabolic trajectory aimed at a dumpster about 30' away. aside from the posioning I gave it, the damn thing had one of those lids you describe.. and yah, I've had the blow out mess when the valve didn't open. To add insult to injury, the damn thing on a good day would dribble/spill about a 1/4 of the first cup unless i poured at an agonizingly slow pace.

...he shoots, he scores... inna da dumpsta.

any reccomendations on a replacement machine?

I once came home from the gym and wanted a glass of orange juice. I also always drink one of those whey protein powder drinks after working out. You know where this is going.

I grabbed two glasses, put the powder in one glass, and grabbed the orange juice and milk out of the fridge. I must have been distracted, because, you guessed it, I grabbed the orange juice first and proceeded to pour it into the glass with the whey protein powder in it. I didn't realize it until I'd poured the milk and went to stir it.

Picture orange juice mixed with chocolate milk mix. It turns a strange color.

I drank them both anyway. Whey protein is expensive.

The ancient shepherds of Java would slowly chew the raw beans as the day passed, getting the caffeine needed to stay alert. You should attempt to replicate this, preferably while wearing a poncho. As an added bonus, you will garner additional social status as people start to assume that you use chewing tobacco. Be sure to let a little of the black spittle dribble from the side of your mouth when talking for added realism.

Buy a Bunn, I've gone through numerous coffee makers over the years. Most only lasting a few months. Bought a Bunn for $99.00, makes a 10 cup pot of coffee in 1 minute flat! Had it for 1.5 years now and going strong!
