Need Coffee Before Coffee

The reason coffeemakers have timers is so you can set them up to brew while you are wide awake. Last night I decided to skip this modern convenience and just make it in the morning. After pushing the on button, things seemed wrong. The bean grinder was strangely quiet and the liquid filling the carafe was nearly clear. I turned it off and discovered that I carefully measured the whole beans into the filter, rather than the grinder.
