Efficiency gone bad...

I tried to get a jump start on my morning work by finally learning how to program my coffeemaker. We have this great Cuisinart that grinds the whole beans for a great pot of coffee. I set it for 5:50 a.m. figuring I would get up to a nice fresh cup but lo and behold, my husband spoke out loud at 2:45 a.m. saying "there goes your coffee"... It was grinding away... I guess I should read the directions. Believe it or not, it was still hot and I'm drinking it right now!

    Thats so weird.....WOW a hot cup of joe and freshly brewed, was it over brewed and muddy though for sitting so long? How funny it could be the alarm clock...Stephie

    Stephie, it wasn't muddy at all! It goes into a stainless steel carafe which really does keep it hot. I like to drink my coffee right away so I couldn't believe that it wasn't half bad (I was just lazy and didn't feel like washing all the parts out..) So my coffee maker was definitely worth the money I spent on it!

    I have no idea what I did wrong. I set the clock (or so I thought) for 8:16 last night and THOUGHT I programmed for 5:50 today.. oh well. there's always tomorrow.

    Jess, I never completely gave up coffee. My OB told me one cup a day was fine.. but now that you have given it up you would probably be jittery. You're already a great mommy :)

    I have the Cuisinart Grind and Brew! The first time I used it I didn't set the clock - I think the grinder went off about midnight. The cool thing about the carafe is that it keeps the coffee HOT for hours...so it was still warm when I got up at 6am :)

    You'll make that mistake at least one more time - along with the mistake of leaving the gold coffee filter out of it accidently so you wake up to a counter full of hot coffee...nice :)

    Andy, I did it today!! Yahoo!

    I think I set the program button thinking I was setting the clock, and then I pressed program again to set the timer... Duh..

    Shows that we really don't like to read directions.. I love the way it beeps at you if you don't have the top on correctly. Lovin this Cuisinart Brewer baby!

    oh and the reason i gave up coffee is because i was too nauseated for it in the first trimester so when i do drink it occassionally now (like once a month) it makes me shake and sweat!....not a pretty combo....
