I get 3 bags of coffee beans each month from Amazon. One month it's Rwandan and the next month Peruvian. It's on automatic delivery so I don't run short on coffee. I do fill in with Peet's when I'm running low. Major Dickinson Blend is my go to.

Yeah, Major Dick is my staple. LOL

Because the coffee in it us usually stale, and ground long ago, it’s very difficult to get a good cup from a pod, IMO. I drank it anyway when it was all I had access to, but it never improved no matter what pods I bought. I went out for Starbucks as much as possible because it was close by, it was recently-ground, and they would do an actual pour-over using the beans of my choice. The price of a 20oz pour-over with fresh beans was just a couple of bucks (that “Starbucks coffee” is expensive is a myth) back then. It’s still cheap today.
That coffee is my minimum benchmark. Yes, I can do much better at home, but even an average cup at ‘bucks is so much better that what was commonly available in the Sixties and Seventies in diners and cafes, I’m grateful for it.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
Black water is my term for conference coffee.
Plentiful and of questionable quality, but containing some caffeine.
It will give you an excuse to get up out of your chair periodically and seek relief.

Peet’s my coffee of choice as well.
I bought Breville semi-automatic coffee maker, discovered Peet’s coffee and I did not touch Starbucks since.

I've been in the USA too long. When someone says "semi-automatic" I picture a gun.
That makes sense. Were their customers ever to learn that coffee without water is ground coffee beans, and that you could use those to make coffee or coffee beverages at home, Starbucks might suffer even more revenue losses.

The most interesting thing about that notice is how they got the comma beside the th on 9th. Did they just highlight the characters and reduce font size?
Come to think of it the whole notice looks like it was created by a certain former president.
You can do that right here in PE, too.
9th, See what I did there?
I typed in 9th,...
Click "Go Advanced"
Highlight "th," (yes, including the comma. Stupid, but that's how they did it.)
Click "Superscript" ... the button that looks like this : x2
Now - instead of 9th, or 9th, we have 9th,
And that ends today's lesson in useless trivia.

Today for some reason my coffeemaker got clogged between the basket and the pot and overflowed half a pot onto the counter.

I've been using Keurigs for years. Not the best coffee in the world, but you can't beat the convenience, the speed, the tidiness, etc! We only use Lavazza pods.
I was in Australia and New Zealand for 5 weeks in December / January. No one ... that is NO ONE ... there drinks drip coffee any more - it's all espresso-based.
So I bought into the Nespresso hype, and now I can knock out a latte or a flat white in under 2 minutes. Again, not the best coffee in the world, but you can't beat the convenience! And again - we only use Lavazza pods.
The sad thing is that no one yet makes (reasonably) decent coffee pods with recyclable or compostable pods.

Are you certain that the pot was positioned properly on the base? I had a somewhat similar situation once, and the pot was off-center, which didn't allow proper flow from the basket into the pot. When I repositioned it, the coffee (which had filled the basket entirely) flowed normally into the pot.
That's what I thought at first, but it seemed as though it was seated properly once I checked. I think the spring-activated opening at the bottom of the basket might have gotten stuck closed by some grounds, compounded by the fact that the little holes in the mesh of the reusable cone filter have gotten a bit clogged up over time, so I just ordered a new one. Also, I make it strong, maybe twice as much coffee as the average person uses, and I think that makes it more likely to fill up that way.
I'm not fussy, so I buy whatever large cans are on sale, and then I make a full pot that fills up 2 of my large travel mugs, one for today and one in the fridge for the next day, which I nuke in the winter or drink cold in the summer. When the really hot weather hits, I make a pot at night and then the 2 mugs go in the fridge for the next 2 mornings.
I read one of those unusual lists the other day and they said if you drink ground coffee ten percent of the grounds are cock roaches.

^ If you buy whole beans and grind them, do 10% of them turn into cockroaches?
Did you look inside the beans first, those bastards are pretty sneaky.
