Long Live the Coffee Maker

[madbaker]

The coffee maker is not dead. It did not work yesterday because I kept plugging in the waffle iron, instead.

In my defense, it was 4:45 AM, the counter was crowded, and I did not sleep well.
(...And, I'm an idiot.)

Oh, my.

Reminds me somewhat of the old answering-machine joke "This is Person's toaster. The answering machine is on vacation. Please leave a message at the *sproing*!"

At any rate, I expect the waffle machine can't be taught how to make a decent cup of coffee.

Especially when the grounds are actually in the coffee maker.

Besides, it's a waffle iron from the '50s. It can't multi-task. Good waffles, though.

Sounds like the time I tried to answer my alarm clock when the phone was ringing...my only defense it was 3:30 am and I was asleep.

This sounds eerily familiar...

...since I've switched to morning espresso/latte's, I've been just waiting to wake up one morning realizing that I've steamed my coffee grounds and dribbled hot water into my milk.

I haven't yet, but I've done similar sorts of things like leaving the grounds in the portafilter all day and not wiping the milk off the steam wand. Cleaning these instantly is normally habit, but...

One day I arrived home to find my housemate had left a carefully-coiled belt on the top shelf in the fridge, and the milk carton was on her dresser.

OK, I'm laughing at you, but I'm laughing with you, too, because more than once I've thought I plugged in my toaster, only to discover I've actually plugged in something else.
