I found out that on some of them you can hold a couple buttons and unplug the unit at the same time. This unlocks the machine. At least on my remstar it works.

People with apnea may be interested in Red Green's technique for making coffee and enjoying the caffeine without the side effects of insomnia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6P1kTwHUuU

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

Rooster,
OMG! i couldn't have done that better myself. What a riot that was watching that Red video!!! Some of us apnea suffers can attest to how Red makes his coffee and when you are walking this great earth in half ZOMBIE mode, i wouldn't be at all suprised if someone DID grind their coffee like Red did! That guy was a riot! Rooster - Ever see the cigaret bus?

The cigarette car (bus) is out there too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCISlfory98

Would have liked to have had one of those when I was 16 cruising the drive-in restaurants and the bowling alley parking lot.
