SO VERY VERY CRANKY!
Am having a bloody awful day. Have to clean house, which is feral and I really don't care if Real Mum's have messy houses, because when my house is messy it makes me sad and edgy.
But it's too bloody big. Serves us right for buying a converted chapel with enough rooms for all our children, and regular overnight guests, I guess...
And I reaallllly want, Nay NEED, a cup of coffee, but my stupid mcspasticated coffee machine has decided it's not friends with the funky coffee grinder THAT SUPPOSEDLY MATCHES IT, and that everytime i grind some coffee and put it into the single shot group head thingy, the coffee machine goes 'brrrrr kaSPLAT' and I end up with coffee grounds everywhere.
This has happened 4 times in quick succession. And I keep changing the grind size, but still 'brrrrr kaSPALT!'.
So. I may have lost my temper. Just the teensiest bit. And 'Bang Banged' the Coffee Grind Holder (a bit of PVC piping with a cap and a bit of metal - I'm not paying $50 for a special 'Bang Bang' - not when I have a handy father and some spare piping...) just a little too much. So now my house is even messier, and there are big chunks missing from the holder. Whoops.
And I still don't have any coffee.
And I don't feel like tea.
Because I want to sit down with a cup of coffee and a nice piece of cake (rich chocolate with a raspberry syllabub filling) before I wash the floors.
RIPPED OFF!
UPDATE: I was so Busted Custard last night! MrB wanted to know 'What the hell happened to the Bang Bang - did I run over it or something????' So I confessed to a slight temper tantrum, and was suitably chastened. UM AH!!!!

syllabub filling????
WTF is that???????????
Anything with a 'raspberry' prefix has got to be good, no matter what it is!
Are you packing the beans too tightly? I am trying to remember back in the dim past when i worked in coffee shops and I think that happened to me when the beans were too tight or too loose?
I hope your day got better
he he...'mcspasticated'
I likey.
Also, take that machine back on warranty baby!
I think anyone who knows AB suspects that her beans have always been packed a little too tightly...
mex - raspberry puree, whipped cream and sugar. Glorious.
meva - exactly. the choc-raspberry combo is my alltime fave.
KR - i kept adjusted the grind AND the degree of tampering. STUPID BLOODY MACHINE.
audrey - Argh. The double shot one works JUST FINE.
fingers - look, blame the lack of ceffeine, but I'm lost.
just use the double shot one then. it sounds like you need it. and i can so fully recommend it too!
i do need it mex, boy do I need it!
