spiderplanetSeriously. Look at all this snow.
Over on the fb, someone's coffee pot crapped out. So here's my coffee pot story. Electric coffee pots are made to last two to five years, and then they crap out. It's maddening. I would, of course, pay five more dollars for a coffee pot with a heating element that doesn't crumble after reasonable use, and that lasted fifty years, but then the coffee pot manufacturers would make less money on coffee pots.
The solution, surprisingly enough, is not to spend five more dollars on a coffee pot. The solution is to spend ten fewer dollars on a coffee pot. A few years back, we bought one of these and a whistling tea kettle.
It's awesome. I no longer fear the day when I will need coffee, and the coffee pot decides that today is the day to shit the bed.
