RIP coffee machine

It was too good to be true when I received a free 12 cup Gevalia coffee machine from one of the cast members in the show I worked over the summer.
It was a dream come true on those early mornings, when I had an 8:30 class, and only 5 hours of sleep.


It' the reason I haven't gone through all my flex yet (although that supply is dwindling as well).
And now it's dead.

My poor coffee machine is clogged in the water reservoir, and it doesn't come out like it should. Resulting in burned, nasty tasting coffee.

I'm supposed to be working for catering at the school, but they rely on people they've used many times in the past, so it's hard for newcomers to get put on the schedule (especially because they've been cutting back on events due to the economy). With no work, I only have my miniscule monthly allowance to live off of for necessities. Those do not include buying a new coffee machine.

With no money to buy a new one, my flex is going to be completely gone soon, since I drink quite a bit of coffee. Hence the reason for the machine in the first place.

Maybe if I run it through a few times it will get unclogged?

Is there a way to fix a coffee machine after grounds have been spilled into the reservoir and clog?

I certainly hope so. I really wont be able to stand anymore stress.
