    Not understanding such a simple abstraction would have been a sure way to end up with the infantry grunts. :-)

    I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

      So it's you who is responsible for this musty, muddy smell? :-)

          My coffee machine is broken, and it's 6:25 in the morning, so there's nowhere I can buy a new one! And I live in forest/arable country, so there are no coffee shops local places to get take-away coffee! My only consolation is that I can say "I told you so!" to the missus, who, despite my protests, threw away the "sit on top of the cup" coffee-filter holder -- but that doesn't get me coffee!

            I recommend you to get an italian espresso machine as a spare. Something similar to (first hit in a quick google search, no publicity of the product intended at all): Monix Vitro Express Mokkakannen für 3 Tassen, Aluminium, Edelstahl,: Amazon.de: Küche & Haushalt[^] They are pretty robust. I have one over 15 years (one / two uses a day several times a week) and still working fine. No running out of paper filters and you might use whatever heat source you find (only exception are the "new" induction fields).

            M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

              Good idea! I'm a bit busy, though, so I've pencilled it in for 17:00 on Friday.

                I'm beginning to think that I should have paid attention to at least one of the Disaster Recovery presentations I've slept through at about 187 companies*. * And I wrote and presented a good dozen of them!
