The coffee machine is breaking down ........ too much use!
We have been making our own expressos for at least 10 years now and we are hooked. I cannot drink any coffee that comes from bottle so there is only one thing to do .... buy a new coffee machine today. Isn't it alway the way, whatever is going to happen, whether it is the plumbing or the lights going out it is bound to do so with a house full of guests.
I call this Murphy's Law: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." It is a well used adage of mine and a good way to accept whatever comes my way. Got to go with the flow because it does not matter.
A clean might fix it temporality so it is worth a try!
I am laughing! And thank you old coffee machine, you have served us well.

Cheers - thanks for reading and for your support
Howdy angiemitchell! Did it start working again or do you have to buy a new one? Buying a new one would be a fun job, I'd do that!
Ben reckoned that the clean worked, I feel like saying lol. Do you have a coffee machine for lattes and cappuccinos ?
Howdy today angiemitchell! so you don't believe it's fixed? lol. We don't have one but I think it would be wonderful, as long as I could resist making fattening drinks with it! I just need black coffee not all the cream and such.
I have skinny lattes. So not fattening at all. Much nicer coffee than the bottle stuff.
howdy this fine Christmas Day angiemitchell except there it is the day after Christmas isn't it? Do you still have guests?
I've never heard of a skinny latte, what is that like, how is that made?
