I’m heading out again, somewhere over the pond… So I’m going to throw PP under the bus…
PP was having one of THOSE mornings…
Her first text-
That moment you blindly stumble to the coffee pot for the first amazing cup…you can already taste it…you pull out the carafe and pour…NOTHING….curse loudly…you stare blankly at the pot u put it back push all the buttons on the pot…check if the is water…yup…check if there is coffee…yup…push more buttons…curse soundly…repeat…curse inventively…repeat…finally
But it wasn’t, and she had to go on an expanding square search for a coffee pot… Not a backup in the house!
So she goes to the local coffee shop, $5 for two black coffees, but they ONLY take cash (which she doesn’t have), continues on to Wally World and finally gets a coffee pot replacement…
Below Average for headwork there kiddo… I taught you better!!! 🙂
No spare coffee pot (s)?
Sigh….. children.
Damn, that’s bordering on the Apocalypse right there.
Lucky we didn’t all hear about a mass shooting at Wally World . . .
Safe travels Jim!
The horror! I don’t have a backup either. Next trip to the store will buy a jar of instant. Hopefully, the jar will never be opened.
Instant?!?
Oh, the humanity..
For such emergencies, Melitta makes a plastic pour over filter that sits on your carafe. Best three bucks I ever spent.
Sorry, I’m still shuddering thinking about morning without coffee waiting. Two is one and one is none, and all that…
I hope this doesn’t sound too lowbrow, but Safeway sells coffee singles in teabag form. Just stick them into a cup of boiling water for a few minutes.
how about boiling water in a kettle and pouring through the coffee /filter?
Instant, as a reserve against the time of the zombie apocalypse?
Sigh….that brings back horrible memories of that day!! The part he left out was that when I tried to go back to bed my 3 month old son decided to pee on my pillow…some days you just can’t win! On that note I hear the beep that signals my new fancy 25.00 Wally World special has my coffee ready…off to savor that first amazing cup of the morning.
Oh, I do SO relate, having had the same sorta start three and a half years ago. There’s an unopened (so far) jar o’ instant in my pantry now.
Some days you just need to stay in bed.
Have a safe trip across the pond.
Art- Yep…
Murph- With her? yep!
Bill- LOL, good point!
WSF- Heh… Yep
Ed- Desperate measures…
Mrs. C- Huh, didn’t know that…
Rev- Yep! Old style percolator is my backup…
Opus- Have you ever actually TRIED on of them??? Yech… I’ll throw coffee grounds in a pan and boil them in water first!
Denis- Hers had the swing out filter basket.
LL- After instant, I’d be ready to kill ANYTHING that walked by…
PP- Sorry kiddo 🙂
Buck- Oh damn!!!
Rick- 28 hours later I’m here… Butt draggin…
The poor baby. She doesn’t have a Waffle House out there for premo cup of coffee.
CP- Nope… 🙂
Always have backup caffeine.
Since they’ve moved everyone out of the office, I actually had to warm up the coffee machine this morning. First World Problems.
Emergencies like that is why I have a leetle teeny french press sitting on a shelf in one of my cupboards. I might end up with grounds in my teeth, but I’d have coffee.
Jenn- Yep! 🙂
Pedi- Good point!!! 🙂
