Well I’m sure most of you had a normal Christmas and I did have for the most part a normal Christmas, with one exception. I spent part of the morning killing coffee makers. This is deserving of an explanation. About a month ago I tried making coffee in my coffee pot only to find that the coffee tasted like shit, most likely because the coffee maker had not been cleaned in, well, forever. Now I don’t drink much coffee at home but I did clean it and made some coffee that didn’t taste so bad but still was not as good as it could have been. So I rummaged through the shit on my garage to find a percolator pot which makes the coffee on the stove. Ever since then, I have been making coffee with that instead of the electric maker. Well, Christmas morning John and I were making breakfast (ok, mostly John was making breakfast) and therefore I could not use the stove for coffee. So, I had to make it with the electric maker. I pulled out the thing that the filter and coffee grounds goes in to find something very surprising. Turns out that I forgot to remove the grounds from the last time I made coffee……………….a month ago! There was mold growing inside of it, so I just threw the whole thing away.
I went out into the garage to get another coffee maker that had belonged to Dave’s parents. I brought it inside and filled it with coffee grounds and started to make the coffee. Five minutes later I come back by the coffee maker only to see that the coffee was not dripping into the actual pot, but instead was running all down the sides of the coffee maker and into the electrical part of the maker. I quickly turned it off as I did not want to electrocute myself making coffee. That is how the second coffee was murdered.
In the end I waited until we were done cook to make the coffee on the stove, where its almost Mike proof to making the coffee and I’m glad to say it turned out just fine.
