Narrative:

Flight attendant #1 came to me and said 'stow the cart.' when I came to the front galley I smelled smoke. We landed in ZZZ2 within 15 mins. As we descended the smell dissipated. I new the situation was improving and no evacuate/evacuation would be necessary. After we landed and maintenance investigated, a coffee pot in the forward galley was found to be the probable cause of the smoe and burning smell.
