Everything, Everything

I pushed the button. I only wanted a small amount to wash the dirty spoon, but as I moved it away, I noticed the water kept on going. And going. And continued to pour, with water splashing out of the drip tray. I quickly threw my mug underneath, even though it only had sugar in it, and watched it fill up about 1/3rd of the way. Then it stopped. I hadn't seen it do the automatic filling before, so I guessed that a tap of the button pours a mug's worth of water; while holding it down will continue to pour until you release. Hedging my bets, and fully prepared to move the mug if the water kept going, I held down the button, then released as it got near the top. But after adding the milk it still wasn't quite at the top... so I left it there. I figure trying to get a tiny dash of water to bring it up to the top would have given me a further mug's worth of scalding hot water. In hindsight, I should have topped it off with cold water from the tap, rather than waiting for it to cool. And I don't have any biscuits to dunk in my coffee, as they're sat in my bedroom.
