But coffee and smokes go together like two peas in a pod. What’s a little extra smoke and fire to make a smoker’s day?

This report from the GAO doesn’t mention any names but I found it interesting that the EPA and DOE managed to miss the crap they did. (A gas powered alarm clock got an energystar rating) Its an interesting report anyway and I can’t help but wonder how many of these products were Obama friendly GE products.
Pdf file of the GAO report on the energystar scam. Looks like the EPA and DOE were the ones screwing this up.

Good thing we’ve been boycotting them forever, lol.

I do not think the manufacturer in question is GE or a Chinese supplier to GE. GE sold their small appliance unit to Black & Decker in the late 1980s or early 90’s. B&D in turn offloaded it shortly thereafter to a Miami based company (Aplica - now called something else.)
I suspect the subject coffee maker is from a small appliance company who contracts with a manufacturer in China and licenses the name GE.

If it’s China Made
It will China Fade
They dilute quality until the product
is barely functional, but able to pass
a visual inspection.
Buy American or don’t buy at all!

Reason why I unplug everything when not in use or use a strip with an off switch.

I'm 64...in my early 20's I bought two or three things made by GE...they were all crap. I vowed then to never buy another GE product, and I have kept that promise to myself.
They come out with some innovative ideas, and slick looking gadgets, but they never hold up...they are obviously designed by liberals...style over substance.

I have never liked GE products.

I never buy anything made by GE. The last thing I bought was a CB radio that quit working a month or two after the 1 yr. warranty ran out. Even their light bulbs are junk.

I guess that coffee maker didn’t get its UL rating this time around! Or did it?
