KA-BOOM!!!!!!

KA-BOOM is right!

I decided I wanted to get another Espresso/Cappuccino Maker but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one - Riyoko spoiled me in LA, making me a Cappuccino every morning and I then realized how much I had missed mine!  So, I set out to Wal Mart yesterday and bought a Mr. Coffee 4-cup Espresso Maker and I went to make a Cappuccino this morning and the frother wouldn't work - I packaged it all up and returned it.  I decided to try another one, same kind, and, as it was brewing, it exploded everywhere and coffee, coffee grounds and glass all over the place!  Thank goodness I had walked across the kitchen because glass flew all over and the coffee was steaming.  I had a pot of soup on but it did have a lid on it!  It scared the hell out of both Dick and I and I then preceded to clean up the mess, including the food saver, the shutters, the stove, the floor and anything that was in the way - it  took me an hour to do this but the floor needs to be mopped again!

I thought about putting all of the pieces of glass in the box that I was returning to what was left of the machine but changed my mind so off to Wal Mart I go tomorrow to get my money back and I will then go to the Mall to find a decent maker!


Will let you know what happens with the next one!!!!!!
