The Coffee Grave Yard..

Ok, there is a coffee pot grave yard here at the house.  Coffee pots that no longer work, sitting collecting dust.  Since I personally do not drink coffee...but my husband and children do, I do not claim to be responsible for this one.  


It is safe to say that in this family -the coffee pot is like a friend.  So when it stops working, the family has a hard time to let it go...


"We" hang onto it like it will be resurrected or something.  With our hard lime water, it will not.  But the family hangs on, placing it on a shelf somewhere with plans someday to try to bring it back.  And before anyone asks, yes we have used the store products to try to remove the lime build up in the lines, and yes we have tried to use vinegar-but eventually it is just too bad and the coffee pot must be allowed to die.  I think if we owned the machine that is used to restart a human heart, my  husband would be heard yelling "clear!" as he attempts to shock the coffee pot back to life...  (ya know- that might work, it might remove the lime and build up from the lines in the coffee pot when the shock occurs!)


So now comes the coffee grave-yard-which is in my basement or at times- out in the garage.  Coffee pots that are no longer working, waiting for the trash but sitting instead on some shelf...

Here is the great temporary new friend...  temporary because it is the one used as a back up-only in an emergency when the larger version dies.  This is because it only makes about 4 cups of coffee at a time!  I am sure it will be replaced by a larger version soon and this one will again be placed on the emergency shelf..awaiting its turn to provide coffee for this coffee family.  Waiting fill in when in the future, the larger coffee pot -dies.
