Out of the Blue

A forum comment earlier this week joked that the year wouldn't be complete without some sort of kitchen appliance disaster (preferably coffeemaker-related). Well, in spite of how my coffee making setup is pretty foolproof these days, I managed to deliver nonetheless. It's not much of a story... Years ago I upgraded to a ceramic filter holder over a plain plastic Melitta dealie, and while this worked great, the bottom of it was deliberately not flat, so it would wobble when set on the coffee pot. So yeah, I accidentally nudged it, and kaboom... coffee grounds and porcelain shards everywhere. And while I'm sure I save the plastic cone for such emergencies, I can't find where I hid it, so it's not serving in the meantime. And even worse, my first replacement seemed as if it had been kicked all the way here, as it arrived in more pieces than the one I am replacing. So there, even without a coffeemaker, I managed to break my coffeemaker.
