I got distracted making coffee this morning and walked away from the pot to work on my photos. Sounds coming from the kitchen were a little odd but I'm unused to the pot and didn't pay much attention, until I heard a gurgling from the general direction of the coffee maker.
Oh oh. The pot was sitting on the counter and I guess it's not the kind of process that shuts itself off unless the pot is on the plate. The tiled floor was covered with grounds and a river of coffee flowed in the grout between the tiles. The counter and refrigerator were splattered with dirty brown liquid.
Marilyn helped me clean up the worst of the mess, but I still had to clean the coffeemaker, which was covered with gritty coffee. Lesson learned.
