Coffee Maker Mishap

 I drink Tim Horton's Instant Coffee all day long. About six cups a day. But Barb wants me to drink decaff after dinner. Tonight after Barb went to bed, I set up a pot in the filtered coffee maker. As I was working, I wondered if I had put the pot under the filter because once I had forgotten to do that and the coffee overflowed the filter and went all over the counter. But I didn't go to check. Later when I went to get a cup of coffee, I noticed that the pot was only half full. I realized that in my hurry I had put the pot on crooked. When the coffee came out, the pot tipped a little and the nozzle on the filter closed. So, no coffee could come out. So I straightened out the pot and the coffee started flowing again. I poured myself a cup and when I put my milk in, there were grinds floating in my coffee. So I looked closer at the coffee maker and realized the filter had overflowed. Fortunately, it didn't spill out all over the counter and down the side of the stove. But I should have trusted my gut feeling that something was wrong when I thought of it. Anyway, I threw out the whole pot of coffee and the bottom of the pot was all grinds. I had a Diet Coke instead.
