Narrative:
Immediately after takeoff, our purser was called by flight attendant #2 indicating that water was gushing from the aft galley coffee makers at a rate they couldn't control. I ran back and we all started filling blue buckets and dumping them in the toilets. Our captain came to inspect and unsuccessfully tried to remove the coffee makers. The galley rug was drenched, and water continued to pour out. Captain returned to panama city to correct situation.
