The RA of a college dorm, who bought it used

Regina huffed as she lugged the coffee brewer into the common room of her college dorm. The damn thing was heavier than it looked, but then again it was probably a much nicer one than the other dorms had, so it was to be expected. Maneuvering her way past a group boys on their way out to class, she made her way to the kitchen and set it down on the counter. She took that moment to catch her breath, and look at their old coffee maker nestled in the trash bin. It had served many a co-ed on a long study session, but last night the cheapness of the machine finally caught up with it and it broke down. Naturally, Regina put replacing it on the top of her RA priority list.

Her breath regained, she lifted the new brewer just long enough to push it into the spot of the old coffee maker, taking a proud moment to admire it. It was one of those fancy single cup brewers, made by some 'MIL' company she never heard of, though she assumed the name was incomplete as the label was quite worn and faded. It was able to brew both regular coffee and espresso, and even had a special knob for the user to adjust how strong they wanted their coffee. Something like this would usually be too expensive for a college dorm, but Regina had managed to get it at a yard sale for only $15. She had been skeptical at first, but the lesbian couple she bought it from assured her that it still worked just fine, and even brewed themselves a cup to demonstrate. Regina declined their offer to taste test, as she was trying to cut down on her personal caffeine intake, but seeing it work in person was enough to convince her it was worth the money. She hardly thought it mattered anyway: given how the coffee from their old brewer tasted, this was guaranteed to be an improvement.

Regina plugged in the machine and filled the water reservoir from the tap. She swayed her cute little hips as she did so, humming happily to herself about the end result of her bargain hunting. Popping open the top, she was surprised to see a clean filter already inside. She had expected to have to put a fresh one in considering it had been used just before she bought it, but hey she wasn't complaining. She popped it closed, then set out the coffee tin and box of spare filters on the counter next to it. She started to head back to her room, before remembering something important. Turning on her heel, she tore a piece of paper from a nearby notepad, grabbed a pen, and wrote in big letters 'NEW COFFEE MAKER! PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE FILTER AFTER YOU'RE DONE SO WE CAN KEEP IT! : )'

She set the paper down next to the brewer, then walked off towards her room once again. It wasn't likely that everyone would actually read it, but until the next dorm meeting it was the best she could do. Besides, even if they didn't listen, how much trouble can one coffee maker be?
