## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: FLIGHT ATTENDANTS REPORTED A BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE FORWARD GALLEY.  NO VISIBLE INDICATIONS.  OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER REACHING CRUISE ALTITUDE (FL290) AND STARTED TO DISSIPATE JUST BEFORE DESCENT.  TOTALLY CLEAR PASSING 15,000 FEET IN DESCENT. MAINTENANCE FOUND BOTH FORWARD GALLEY COFFEMAKERS SMOKING AND CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL SMELL. REPLACED BOTH COFFEMAKERS PER AMM 25-35-15. A SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS ACCOMPLISHED. (LEFT COFFEMAKER AALA202505259978, RIGHT COFFEMAKER AALA202505252694)
