I guess I must be really out of it this morning. I went to make my coffee and I poured the water in, put in the filter and turned it on. I forgot one thing though. Can anyone guess. Yep...the coffee. I'm a bright one I know. Don't all stand up and clap just yet. When I realised my mistake, acter all the hot water was in my carafe I went a head and put the coffee in, poured more water into my tank, and almost FORGOT to empty the water in the carafe. Oh yes I know, I get the gold star today. Please tell me someone else has done this. It can't be just me. Tiffany

Thats why I use an electric water kettle and make instant coffee, I know, it's not the same nor as good but I don't have to remember to remove the grounds.

I tried them once too, and I did sort of like them. I bought some of these for my nephew and he LOVED them! caffene comes in coffee and chocolate so you get a double shot, personally, i am not a fan of these as i don't like coffee, but hey as long as you don't eat too many of them, you are cool.

I sorta kinda forget to do that. One night it was a late night with the baby and I was feeling sick in the first place. I went to go make my coffee, got the water pitcher out, filled it. Just didn't pour it in. I just sat in on the counter and I started staring at the coffee pot wondering why it wasn't filling. I made sure it was plugged in and what not. Finally my husband looked at me, looked at the coffee pot, looked at the pitcher, sitting on the counter, full of water, and then looked back at me, pointed to the pitcher and called me "blonde hot mama". So don't feel so bad hun.

This has not happened to me as of yet since I do not drink coffee but I am sure that I have done some other things that will make someone scratch their head. LOL I have put water in a mug and heated up in the microwave getting ready for some hot chocolate. I would start drinking the hot water then realize I forgot to put the hot chocolate into it. LOL I know that I have done some other things like that. At least we can laugh at ourselves when we do things like this. :-)

Yes, it's always good to laugh at ourselves, we do the funniest things ...... but I don't share all those funny things I do, I wouldn't want people to think I'm nuts.

Yeah I know too many people who drink it like water. I'm a one-cup-in-the-morning type of gal. Actually I only drink half of the cup. Once it gets cold I stop drinking it.

I've done that several times before actually. Since I'm not really fully awake until AFTER my coffee, making it is always a bit tricky! Not only have I made coffee without the coffee, I've done things like accidentally putting in the water twice, thus causing it to overflow everywhere. I've also put the coffee in the filter part, and then forgotten to put that part back on the coffeemaker, which makes a HUGE mess! I think people like you and I really need to invest in those coffeemakers with timers, so we can set it up sometime while we're still alert and just have it ready for us in the morning. =P

I did that once too!! I don't know what came over me that morning. It's not like I don't make coffee often. I do it at least 3 times a week. But that morning...I dunno. Pour the water in and just start the coffee machine. Didn't even put in the filter...much less the coffee. I had walked away to do something else and when I came back, all I had was a hot pot of water! To add to my further embarassment, my in-laws were here! LOL!!

At least you had hot water for instant coffee or tea. Don't do what I did, fill everything and forget to put the carafe back under it! What a mess! Almost as bad as the time I forgot to put the top on the perculator!

I drink coffee often, but always need cream and sugar in it, because I hate it black and I don't care, well I can't fill the difference between all its kinds I just need to fill it in my body to be alive!!!! I don't like the taste of milk or tea so in fact I prefer coffee. I know it's not as healthy as milk, actually I'm learning to drink a bit milk but really I think I can't just switch yet and yes I'm lessening my coffee intake, like I used to have it 3 to 4 times a day, now I make sure It won't exceed to 2 cups.

Yeah maybe you should lol. I use cream and sugar..only liquid cream though. The powder never disolves for me I don't know why. I hate it black too. I'll drink it if I have to. Actually when I do drink it back it seems to wake me up more then if I use cream and sugar. That seems odd to me. Probably to everyone else to. anyway..thanks
