I know, I know. You’re a sophisticated adult. But let’s start with the embarrassingly simple checklist. Is the power cord firmly in the outlet? Yes, check it again. Now, is the outlet actually working? Maybe your phone charger just died in there yesterday.
Try plugging a lamp into that same outlet. If the lamp works, your coffee maker is just being a drama queen. If the lamp doesn’t work, congratulations—you’ve found the problem, and it’s not a five-hundred-dollar repair bill. It’s just a tripped breaker in your fuse box. Go flip it back on, you brilliant electrician, you.
