Blech!

Apparently Hazelnut Creme is not the Cuisinart's favorite flavor.

But seriously, what a freakin' mess. I'm still not sure what happened as the machine won't grind unless it is all closed. But there were NO GROUNDS in the filter. And let's not even discuss what the drawer below was like.

I'm hoping "user error" was the cause of this mess- though I'm not entirely sure it wasn't a ghostly joke- because the darn machine is out of warranty and too expensive to replace until Father's Day.
