For months, Ben and I have been debating about getting a new coffee maker. We've looked many times, but have never found something we think we would like more that our current one, unless we add a grinder, which we can't do until the kids are old enough to sleep through that noise in the morning. We have been looking around because our current coffee maker still works well, but there is an annoying leak around the plastic at the top of the pot, and each cup has to be poured over the sink because it drips so much. Then if the sink doesn't get rinsed out, it leaves a stain, and it's just annoying.
Ben finally reached the end of his rope on Thursday, and ordered a new carafe for our coffee maker online, so that we could keep our current coffee machine but fix the annoying problem for much less money.
Then guess what? This morning, less than three days since we ordered the new carafe, the coffee maker quit working. Brewed half a pot and then just quit, and wouldn't respond to my repeated efforts to bring it back to life. When we figured out it's three years old, and we have probably brewed over 1000 pots of coffee with it, it didn't seem so unreasonable that it was dead. But very annoying, given that our new carafe will arrive in a few days and we'll have to send it back!
Ben did find an identical coffee machine at Lowe's today, only a different color - they didn't have any white. But it makes a good cup of coffee, and tomorrow morning should be better than this morning was!
