Razors Edge ★ Posted April 4, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2022 ...to my coffee maker this morning???? Is it FUBAR? Or just a one time anomally? My normal evening process is to set up the coffee the night before - grind the coffee, fill the maker with water, etc., and then click the "delay brew" for the 5:30 am start time (my wife is usually up by 6am). Anyway, a full pot is 12 cups, and that's where I filled it to, but when my wife came down in the AM, there was only HALF that in the carafe (vs the usual 10+). It was STRONG coffee. WTF did the water go? It didn't leak out, and the grounds only absorb/hold so much, and it doesn't look like it a lot would escape via steam around the edges. WEIRD. I will be trying again tonight/tomorrow, but may bring my "back-up" maker down and prep it to go just in case! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted April 4, 2022 Share #6 Posted April 4, 2022 OK. Messing with a screen name is good voodoo. Putting a pin in a replica of his coffee maker is unfriendly voodoo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted April 4, 2022 Share #15 Posted April 4, 2022 You mean karmic debt? Karmic debt is the patterns in your life that are being repeated and they are typically bad patterns or unresolved issues in your life. For example, you could be constantly struggling with money, sabotaging your relationships, or avoiding responsibilities in your life.Sep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, very carefully, drill a hole in a chief petty officers cup 90 det clockwise from the handle (from top) and fill it with white water based putty. We were all at morning muster when the putty let go and the cup peed on the front of his shirt. The next night he welded my tool box shut. We really got along great. He and I got trapped on the new tender for a shakedown cruise to Gitmo. Since we weren't really assigned to the ship he wangled us a return to the states for a school. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted April 5, 2022 Share #29 Posted April 5, 2022 My Mr. Coffee 25 oz. DRIP Machine decides to turn itself off before filling the pot about one out of every 5 times I make coffee. Fortunately, I always start it first, then make breakfast so I catch it when it happens. I don't know the reason - the filter isn't about to overflow, water and coffee seem to be moving ok.

The wing nut is going to grab a Phillips head screwdriver and see what he can "fix".
