My coffeemaker is an asshole.
It's one of those models that brews inside the body and dispenses from a little hole, directly into your cup, when you push a pad. Twice this week, I've walked into the kitchen to find it dispensing, UNPROVOKED, ALL over my counter (and subsequently, my floor.) If I catch it right away and smack it, it's fine; but I rarely notice in time.

Damn you, BrewStation! Damn you to Hell!

3. That doesn't sound like a good idea
I wouldn't think assholes make very tasty coffee.

6. Perhaps peremptory smacks are in order?



Hey, it worked like a charm for Bush.

9. I think the spout is catching particles of coffee, and it's dripping out.
It still dribbles all over, even if it's turned off, the wiley bastard!

10. I love that smiley!
It's so damned appropriate! :)

So perhaps you need to start keeping a cup under that coffee maker just to be safe?

12. Spank that BrewStation!
:P :hug: I'm so sorry----I hate it when stuff like that happens. :pals: My coffeemaker is the kind that directly brews it into a thermal carafe, and I've never had any problems with it. When I was traveling last week, the in-room coffee maker (yes, it was clean---I know some at hotels they aren't) decided to brew everywhere EXCEPT the pot....and there was a huge coffee mess. :grr: Fortunately, it was on a tray, and the disaster was confined to the tray.
