Coffee pots and Toasters are not made the way they used to make them. There is a timer inside to make them self destruct in one year.

What is amazing to me is that Mr Coffee and the other coffee pot manufacturers cannot make a pot without a problem. If it doesn't leak from the bottom, the actual pot drips and leaks when you pour from it.

You cannot determine if you have a Non Dripping Carafe until you break open the box and use it and then the hassle of wrapping it up and returning it just isn't worth the bother since you know the perking mechanism will blow up in a year.

Welcome home, Molly...

We had a Black and Decker spacesaver that lastest at least 10 years.

I'll be writing Mr. Coffee one more time. This time if they offer to replace I will decline.

Happy New Year Everyone.

I go through coffee pots like a dose of salt. I checked to see where they are all made.....Mexico and China. I've noticed too, that the coffee maker leaks, if it doesn't, the pot drips. Can't win. I sometimes go back to my old standby, my 30 year old Corning perculator.

Remember yesterday I said Roomey would snore in the New Year? Well we got home around 2200 hours, got ready for bed, tuned into NBC, waiting out the news, then Jay Leno, 'cause Roomey said he was going to do a good show, We settled there, with the champaign handy, in ice, our glasses standing by.............Neither of us saw Jay Leno, this morning the ice was melted and the two champaign glasses were still standing by. Didn't see a thing!
