coffee pot caput!  

OH no.I would survive without coffee maker.
In the other hand, when I don't have coffee maker, I just put boiling water into cup with grind coffee, cover it and wait.
After 10 minutes I just filter coffee very gentle from the top 3/4 into new cup.
HUGS

Nothing seems to last as well now does it Lakota?
Sorry bout your coffee pot, but I would have done exactly what you did, in fact I have done that a few times and also the coffee is much hotter in temperature like that...I liked it just as well, if not better! xoxo
Good job, Lakota and I hope you enjoyed your cup a joe this morning! xoxoxo
How you been feeling my dear friend?
My son travelled 3000 miles and is with me now to help me..good news!

Mine has also went caput, I have one that tells you when to clean it and I put vinegar in it with some water and turned it on and my husband told me to come see if it was suppose to be doing what it was doing and when I came to the kitchen it was so hot the steam was coming out all over it, we had to pull the plug, to get it off. I won't use it now because I read that a lot of the house fires are started by the coffee pots being left on or shorting out and I believe if it got that hot then it probably burnt out.
I have a little 2 cup pot that I dug out and now making me coffee in it, I don't use more than a couple cups a morning, so this is great as I get my 2 cups and nothing to waste, one big scoop and the coffee last a long time, my only problem with this is when friends come over, they want coffee, so what do I do make 2 cups at a time and tell them you have to wait on the second batch, lol. Coffee pot are so cheap, $8.oo at the local Dollar Store, and unless you want big fancy, which is what I paid for, and didn't last too long, then it is just as easy to go buy a new pot and throw the other away, the company won't take it back, the shipping would be more than the pot worth to send it back to be fixed, so I vote throw it out and go get a new one. This time I don't need fancy timers or clocks, just make the coffee.

I always keep a box of coffee singles (same as tea bags but with coffee in them) on hand incase of emergencies.

That would of just been another excuse for me to go to starbucks!! I love that place. Lori

Very ingenious Lakota honey! I think I would settle for instant myself as I am the only one who really drinks coffee! xxx

Hahaha !! Good for you Lakota. Coffee drinkers will think of SOMETHING, and yours was great.
Don't forget to get another coffee pot today ,so you don't have to go through all that work again.

Hehe..first of all I don't have a coffee pot..LOL..I use instant coffee so just heat up water in a saucepan...I would LOVE to get a coffee pot as there are so many more delicious variety of coffees one can get when it's the ground kind..but I would prefer to get a stove top percolator..I've never had an electric one, nor never had a coffeemaker either..no particular reason, just never got one

I'd get meself a little old coffee pot as soon as possible.
They are pretty cheap at walmart. You could probably ge one for ten dollars or less. I'd go to a convenience store in the interim.

This is what Maxie java, Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts are for. I like maxie and dunkin best. Starbucks is more expensive and their coffee tastes burnt. Ugh!
