Coffee makers seem to break more often these days. You get a good coffee maker and everything is going fine.
You learn how to set the clock. You don't even have to read the manual on some of them. You finally get the automatic timer setup and you get around to making a decent pot of coffee.
Then for some strange reason, it just stops working. The brewing mechanism just stops. Do they design these things to last only so long, so that you have to go back and buy a new one.
Well make sure that you always have a backup plan for your coffee needs. Boiling water and brewing your coffee manually can deliver good results.
If you don't want to do that, keep Starbucks card handy to make sure you can get your morning cup of java.
