I’m glad everything turned out for! the best. By the way, there is a good forum thread about Coffee brewing including various suggestions for easy to travel with coffee makers you can’t break! Coffee brewing
I’ve broken a few things on sit and heard from panicked sitters who broke or thought they broke something in my home. Rule of thumb for me as a sitter: I’d never take something apart to clean it! A few months ago, I cam up against a particularly dirty microwave which I attempted to clean, but stopped myself at some point because I was scared the whole thing would disintegrate. I wouldn’t consider descaling a coffee machine my job. I’d be miffed if I needed to clean an oven to use it on a sit. If I used it and needed to clean it for a host’s return, I’d find a way that didn’t require disassembly. If a homeowner left these as tasks for me, we’d have a talk about it!
