Coffee Grinder Warning Label
See, I probably shouldn’t operate heavy equipment before coffee. “Heavy” meaning anything over, say, a pound?
I struggled for several minutes with my electric coffee bean grinder this morning, to no avail. The beans just wouldn’t grind. Changed electrical outlets, thinking my outlet was bad…no. So, in a moment of what I can now only marvel at, I decided to take the lid off the top of the grinder, and manually depress, with the tip of a knife, the little white button that activiates it.
Do I need to detail any further the condition of my kitchen at this point? Not my most brilliant moment.
I feel sure that we’ll be finding coffee beans in the most unexpected places for awhile, none the less of which are my eyes.
So, I submit to you, that if Pop Tart packages need warning labels that read “remove pastry from pouch before toasting”, perhaps a warning label on the grinder would be sufficient–”Do not attempt to grind coffee beans while asleep…oh, and for Pete’s sake, you idiot, never grind them with the lid off!”

Glad you weren’t injured in the mayhem!
Sounds like something I might do in a moment of haste! But I have to add that this further supports my theory that coffee is not good for you! Glad you weren’t hurt. Look at it this way…at least coffee beans aren’t sticky and they smell good!
: )

Now Carmen, we’ll have to part ways on the nutritious value of coffee…I consider it one of the basic food groups
LOL! I have done that with smoothies.
Oh my that is to funny!!!! But, I have to ask. What in the world made you think you could that? LOL!!!!
Well, that’s just the thing…
obviously, “thinking” is not part of my pre-coffee routine.
ROFL!
That’s great:) Reminds me of my many pregnancy moments.
Coffee is way better than maple syrup!
That’s all I’m going to say.
Good stuff! Makes me feel better about myself to read about your mishap.
Don’t feel bad, when my vitamix came in I was so excited that I instantly began to make a blueberry smoothie. In my excitement, I forgot to put the cover on….oops
I still have blueberry on my ceiling to this day. Not even Mr. Clean Eraser would get that stuff off!
(I’ve come across your blog thru a friend’s blog.) I’m SOOO glad there is someone else out there that shares my…shall we say ‘pre-caffeinated logic.’ I tried to surprise my family w/ donuts last weekend… there I stand at the locked front door w/ donuts & keys in one hand, and a coffee in the other… and yet I can’t seem to figure out how to get the door unlocked. It isn’t until I finally resort to ringing the doorbell (ruining the surprise) and my husband lets me in and asks why I didn’t use my keys that I realize my brain is not fully engaged.
I amaze myself w/ my brilliance!
Lol! Relating.
Oh goodness, I do that type of thing all the time. I thought it was normal.
