Taking Control of Your Life is as Simple as Recognizing a Few Subtle Hints
Yesterday, I had to reset my automatic coffee maker — again.
It’s not an overly sophisticated machine — just your basic, non-fancy model. But it does the job every morning and provides me with the right jolt of energy to get my brain and body moving.
This particular model was designed with a few extra options.
Some of the features include a digital clock display, brew strength selection, and delay timer for those days when I want to wake up to a full pot of coffee — which happens to be every day.
Sometimes the need to reset the controls and settings of my coffee maker is a choice — like yesterday. The water reservoir needed cleaning, and the only way to do an effective job was to unplug the dang thing and bring it to the sink where I could attack it with a bottle of vinegar and sponge.
Unfortunately, disconnecting the electrical plug meant all my settings were wiped out — gone in a tug of the cord.
After thoroughly scrubbing the interior, filter basket, and glass carafe, I plugged it back in and ran it twice using only water — no filter or grounds — for a final cleanse.
