Coffee Catastrophe

I have a coffee maker called "TechniVorm" and it's awesome. I won't go into the details of why it's so awesome so you'll just have to trust me on this one (or you could research it online and buy one yourself). Anyway, I was brewing myself some coffee today and I forgot to open the switch on the filter to allow it to drip into the carafe (it was closed in order to allow the hot water to fully extract the coffee oils and such). So when I came up to our apartment after doing some laundry in the basement I smelled the wonderful aroma and said "Oh crap!!" Hopefully I didn't break it. We'll know soon enough. So now I am enjoying my wonderful cuppa Joe while chewing on a coffee ground every once in a while. Yum.....
