FML part cuatro

It's not as difficult as you might think to find something to bitch about.

And this is how I've been starting my mornings. And it has the power to crash my whole day.

My coffee pot is broken. More accurately the grinder is broken. We have one of those cool pots that grind the beans and then delivers up a perfectly delightful pot of exquisite coffee.

Except now the grinder is broken.

So now I must grind the beans prior to making a pot of delish coffee.

This is not so bad, no, not so bad. I enjoy grinding coffee in my little Coffee Mate or is it Mr. Coffee grinder, aka spice grinder, aka nut grinder. It smells terrific when I do it. It also makes a mess when I do it because I. Am a messy person and can't figure out how to do just about anything without making a mess.

Never mind.

That is not the problem. The problem is, or now is, the coffee pot burbs and drizzles coffee all over the pot and onto the counter. Why? Why does it do this? Coffee grounds too fine? Coffee grounds too many? Coffee pot dirty or just mad at me?

I clean it.

Many times.

With vinegar.

Still burps coffee all over my counter and leaves a sludgy muddy layer of . . grounds? at the bottom of the pot making a cup of joe more like a thick gritty bitter coffee flavored pudding that refuses to set.

It doesn't do it all the time.

There is no rhyme or reason for this phenomenon.

I do not know how to rectify this problem.
