... and now it looks like our coffee maker might be going feet-up. When I first tried to use it today, it kept shutting off after about ten seconds of drip. Now it's dripping, but REALLY slowly. And it's making more "chuffing" sounds than it usually does.
There might also be more steam coming off the top than usual, but I generally turn it on and leave the kitchen, so I honestly can't say.
Goddammit.
EDITED TO ADD: Yep, that "more steam" indicates trouble. When I checked how much water had dripped through, it was about one quarter of what I'd put in. Looks like the heating element might be running too high.
Well, now I know what I'm doing tomorrow: going out and getting a new coffee maker, since this one is about three years old and the warranty is long gone. Pity. It was a wonderful coffee maker and I don't think they sell them anymore.
