No matter how slowly the coffee maker is steadily dribbling, don’t get impatient and assume it’s all done and yank the filter holder out of the maker to dump it out. It may, in fact, be slightly plugged with coffee grounds, with a large pool of boiling hot water and coffee floating above it which, when removed abruptly, will slosh all over your hand, burning it, and leading you to drop it on the floor, where it will splatter that same suspension of boiling hot water and coffee all over your pants legs, shoes,
and the cabinetry, floor, rug, and whatever else is within a twenty foot blast radius.
Or, ah, so I’ve been told.

I read a story about a guy who had a French Press Coffee pot that had a built in frother. The story went on for a time, and then noted the fine cleaning that the cabinets got when the top was opened without venting the steam. He said it was like taking the cap off of a hot radiatior.
Of course, this was just some story I read about some guy.
Yeah…
One morning I saw this guy who must not been fully awake try the same thing…
Yeah, glad it wasn’t me.
So glad I don’t drink coffee.
Worst thing that’ll happen to me is the vending machine tipping over and crushing me. 😛
