I needs me my coffee!  

I got up this morning, semi bright eyed and bushy tailed. Fresh brewed coffee would complete the deal, I would be fully awake and alert. I poured the water and prepared the coffee in the paper. A sprinkle of cinnamon on the bottom, two heaping tablespoons of regular eggnog flavored coffee, and two heaping tablespoons of decaf.

I pushed the button, and an orange glow appeared throughout the base of the white plastic contraption. I stared at it momentarily, then snapped to action. Dear Lord, is it the wiring caught fire in the wall? I checked for heat on the cord at the base of the pot and at the wall, it was cold. Phwew. I turned off the pot (why I didn't do this before I do not know. Perhaps I did not yet have coffee to wake me fully) then I turned the pot on again. I left it on, staring at it. Nothing was happening. I did not hear percolating, the water level never changed. The base of the pot that is supposed to be heated was just a little warm and never did get hot. What am I going to do now?

Then I remembered I had purchased some of those instant coffee bags. They have ground coffee inside a teabag like wrapping. The coffee is weak, but it will do for now.

I remember Gevalia had a deal that includes a coffee pot, a carafe and a cup with 2 bags of coffee. But, alas the carafe is not included on the page I looked at. In its place is a coffee container. I wanted the carafe for the flea market. I can take my coffee with me and do not have to worry about getting it on the sight. It is still a good deal for the package anyway, 22 dollars and some odd cents with shipping. I need to check the shipping fee to see if it is indeed a good deal.
