Noooooo!

Oh coffeemaker.

This was not the morning I needed you to fail.

Well, I don't ever need you to fail. But I was already having a deeply shitty morning.

Does anyone know what can make a coffeemaker fail in such a way that it produces a very small volume of coffee, a terrible stench, and a coffee-like substance that, when ingested, makes you vomit? (I was desperate, okay?)

Hurm. I have checked everything, and tried to brew a new pot, and all I can discern at this point is that the mechanism whereby the steam condenses and gets into the basket is not working. Lots of steam is escaping the machine. Not much coffee is emerging. I'll see if I can fix it or find a replacement today.

All signs point to you being an awesome roommate.

There is no greater disaster than a failure in the coffee making system!

I have a coffee maker you can borrow. It only brews one cup at a time though.

My current coffeemaker is being held together with silicon caulk. Which I also used to repair my chimney and my rubber boots. Useful shit.

If I'm desperate enough I'll just boil the grounds in a saucepan. It's like camping. But at home.
