The things I do for coffee ...
... I'll never understand.
So the heating element in my coffee maker broke. It stopped heating up the water, the water wouldn't flow, and it wouldn't warm the carafe. It going to be a few days before I get out to the mall to buy a new one, so I tried to just go without coffee.
Not too well. I wound up taking the basket off my old coffee maker, removing the valve and spring, and balancing it on top of the carafe. Eh, it works well enough. I pour hot water into the grounds from a kettle, and it cools pretty quickly. I wind up nuking every cup after the first.

Perkins?
Truck Stop?
There has got to be some hot coffee somewhere near by.
There's a 7-11 nearby, but I can only take so much of their coffee. There's a micro-roaster in town here with excellent coffee, but it's a bit of a hike just for a cup of coffee (and I don't own a car).
Ah well :D .
