Speaking of sensors, here’s where it gets weird. Some coffee pots have a little reset button hidden under the base or near the warming plate. You know, the one you step on by accident. Look for it—a tiny red or black button that needs a paperclip to press.
If you don’t have a paperclip, use a toothpick. Or a bobby pin. We’re MacGyvering a latte here, my friend. That little reset can jolt it back to life, like electronic CPR.
