- Call 911, but only if you're really sure that's the right number.
Step 2: Call in the Experts

- CC: The IT Department, who will probably just send a generic "We're on it" email back to you.
- CC: HR, who will probably just send you a strongly worded email about following procedure.
Step 3: Contingency Planning
- Call in backup coffee machine repair person.
- Assign emergency meeting to alternate meeting room, just in case.
