A Lufthansa flight has been forced to land after a broken coffee machine started spewing smoke into the cabin.

The Airbus A319 from Frankfurt bound for Gothenburg, Sweden, had to make an emergency landing at Hamburg Airport.

According to the company, there was a “short-term local smoke development in the front galley”. The cockpit crew then “declared an air emergency in accordance with the specified procedures” in order to get a “prioritized landing” in Hamburg.

German newspaper Bild reported the cause of the smoke was a busted coffee machine.

The plane landed normally. Thankfully no passengers were reported hurt. Pictures taken at Hamburg airport showed a large number of emergency service vehicles swarming the plane after landing.
