Bought a replacement: Black and Decker 12-cup...whew, crisis resolved.

Deserves an ode:

Oh, thank you Black and Decker
for saving my coffee life,
without you I'm a pecker;
about to lose my wife.


>You are so right. If the grounds are dry, sue. If they're wet but cold, sue. If they're wet and warm, enjoy!
>
>
>>I think you have legitimate grounds to sue the coffee maker. I like tea, but it just doesn't frazzle my nerves like coffee.
>>
>>>Twinings English Breakfast tea to the partial rescue! Partial insofar as it ain't coffee but it's hot and has caffiene.
>>>
>>>>>Woke up this morning and found that my coffee-maker was broken!
>>>>>
>>>>>Nooooo...!!!!
>>>>
>>>>I hear ya. There is no greater hell than not having coffee. Oh the humanity!
