O.M.G… The Coffee Machine Has Broken

I kinda feel like the title says it all.

It happened yesterday (so if you're wondering if my post on scheduling changed my procrastinatory habits of posting at the last minute, so far… no).  Mid-afternoon I was craving a shot of hazelnut-cinnamon caffeinated goodness, so I loaded up the filter, filled the reservoir with water, flicked the switch to "on"…

And nothing happened.

I repeated this several times, and in the end made a pot of tea and was done with it.

That was in the afternoon, when one can scoff at a lack of coffee.  Now it's 6am, I'm newly awake, and nothing is right with the world because there is no coffee a-brewing at casa del me.

My husband will not be pleased when he wakes up and realizes.  If I were a really good wife, I'd probably run to Starbucks while he's still asleep so when he wakes up, I could chirp, "Sorry, sweetheart, the coffee maker's on the fritz, but look!  Here's a great big cup of Sumatra, steaming hot!"

I'd of course be in full makeup as I did the chirping, wearing something that made me look beautifully composed with a hint of naughtiness… like a slightly sexier Jane Jetson.

Hmm.  Just heard him get up and attempt the coffee machine, and I'm Starbucks-free, still wearing flannel pajama pants and an oversized Back to the Future T-shirt (see pic), with hair looking (appropriately enough) like Doc Brown's.

Guess I'm not that good a wife.

I'm going to see if I can help assist the coffee maker trauma.  In the meantime, tell me — what's your morning poison?  Coffee?  Tea?  A super-healthy greens smoothie?  Do you make your own morning kick-starter, or do you have to buy it someplace specific?  When you can't get it, do you have a backup second choice?
