Stupid coffee makers
Today I want to vent. Some things just have the innate ability of breaking down no matter how many times you fix them. For me – it’s coffee makers. For over six years I used a cheap old coffee maker handed down by a relative. It was ugly, it only had one button and made a moderately OK cup of Joe. When we got married my husband and I made the logical decision that since we drank coffee every morning that it was worth putting some of our money into a high end coffee maker.
A couple hundred dollars later and three returns due to faulty parts we seriously regretted our decision. It took three return trips to the mall before finally getting a model that had all of the parts. Two months down the line, it broke. I bought another one, it died six months later. Then I figured it was about time I got smart about this and I bought the cheapest possible model I could find – my $15 coffee maker lasted not two – not six months but a whole year, before I managed to break the pot and had to throw it away.
I will never buy an expensive coffee maker ever again even if the warranty lasts a lifetime because the last thing I want is to be driving to a repair centre without my proper dose of caffeine.
