We got this ginormous (I'm aware that it's not an actual word) coffee/espresso/anything containing hot water maker and I have yet to be able to figure out how to use it. I don't drink coffee or tea but was trying to make a tea for hubby, who has a really bad cold, and spent like 15 minutes trying to figure out where to put the water.
I felt so bad, hubby came downstairs to help me. He gave me a crash course, then went back to lie down. I pressed the button that he said to, and waited for it to turn green. It never did, it just flashed.
Being fed up with the machine, I pulled out the kettle and just did it the old fashioned way. Wouldn't you know, once I got the kettle out and the water boiled, the light on the coffee maker went green. Stupid machine.
