Coffee-maker problems are definitely an emergency, and Katie bar the door.

Just to throw in another coffee, the coffee in cajun country south and west of New Orleans is one of a kind. The so called cajun coffee served in New Orleans restaurants is not the same. Once while servicing equipment in the records room at the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's office, Audrey, the the records office boss said, "Ed, you need some coffee! They just made it fresh in the radio room." The coffee closely resembles used motor oil, both in color and consistency. Served in small cups, less than 4 ounces, one dose perked me up for the rest of the day. Supercharged!
An off thread comment about service calls to The Sheriff's office in Houma, Louisiana, above. One afternoon when I checked in with our dispatcher, she gave the calls as usual by company calling, machine type and problem. At the end of the list she said, "And Audrey Painter called."
"Which machine is she having trouble with?"
"I don't know."
"What kind of trouble?"
"I don't know."
"How do you know it was Audrey?"
Our dispatcher said, "Ed, I answered the phone and a woman's voice said, "Tell Ed to get his ass to Houma" so who else could it be but Audrey?"
I'm in Hammond, about an hour north of N.O.Where in Louisiana do you live? I lived and worked in Houma for three years before moving to Missouri 4 years ago. My youngest was born in Thibodaux.

Bergamot is good, but ussually brew tea and herbal waters, mint / rose water, mostly.Usually Lipton Yellow Label for everyday use, bergamot tea when I have time to brew it.
Nothing better than toasted buns and coffee.
