I can't function without coffee either, so best of luck on that one!!! (I had to settle for pop in the morning for caffeine because I can't find or even recall if I packed my coffee!!!)

Fix for 98% of all coffee maker issues: Fill the pot half to 75% full of white vinegar. Put an empty filter in the top, run the vinegar through 3-8 times - change filter if necessary, then run just water through with a new filter twice.
