Two weeks ago, I broke the carafe of my 4 cup coffee maker. It’s old, can’t get a replacement. Got a new 4 cup coffee maker over at Amazon, using my $11 coupon, so it cost me $17 bucks. Great deal!
It got here last week, the coffee it makes is good, hotter than my last maker. I was getting low on ground beans (I buy the beans by the bag at CostCo and keep them in the freezer, only grinding up enough to fill a little Tupperware bowl, which I also keep in the freezer) and this morning I was out. So, I get out the grinder that’s not really that old and it wouldn’t start. I put the lid back on, thinking maybe it wasn’t locked. That thing is deader than my diet plans. Even smacking it against the wall a couple of times didn’t help. *lol*
The only other ground coffee I could find right off the bat was flavored stuff and none of it was a flavor that sounded good. Fortunately, I did find one of those coffee packets you get at hotels (when I see that I’ve saved things like this, I just freaking amaze myself), I opened it, tossed the sweetener, non-dairy creamer and stirrers into the trash and made myself a little four cup pot of coffee.
