Last Saturday AM Bob took his first sip of coffee and said Coffee Tastes Terrible. I agreed after taking a sip of his. The pot needs cleaning.
Clean Cycle Set! 2 hours later
while washing the aluminum pot, I noticed the coating inside the bottom was flaking off.
Scrubbed and useable, I added Coffee Pot to my Saturday Shopping List.
Taste Test said old pot was good to go.
Did not buy the new pot.
Thursday, I was the first to say, ugh, coffee taste terrible, we do need new pot.
Pot is flaking once again.
Walmart Opens at 6 AM, I left at 5:50, home by 6:15 and a new pot dripping while I tossed the old pot in the trash can.
the last time I bought, I went medium priced with the Black and Decker below, $79. this time I went with El cheapo $27.99 Mr. Coffee.
the reason?
I looked for a thermal carafe, could not find one. The real reason is I hated the pot from the day i plugged it in.
Who needs the headaches every time the power even blinked off and back on.
The thing was smarter than me from the get-go and I said HBO words every time I had to reset it.
I thought I would like not seeing through the pot. I did not.

A thermal pot is a great idea. Wait, you threw the new pot in the trash, or the old one?
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a thermal pot but could never find one I liked.
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDelete...could give up coffee (says the tea Jenny!!!) YAM xx
Buying a "simple" coffee pot these days is not easy. We recently bought a new Proctor Silex and within a few week the water started pouring right through the bottom. The store gave us another one - so far, so good.
ReplyDeleteAh. One problem I do not have, as I don't drink coffee at all... ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, look how your phone's captured that condensation on the glass pot!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a thermal carafe, but your description's given me the willies. Our Keurig is still working, but definitely showing signs of old age and needs replaced. Trouble is, Tom taken a liking to one kind of coffee and me, another. Oh, and we keep a 3rd flavor for when Troy and Lois come over. At this point, I doubt either one of us is willing to compromise. Spoiled much?
Bottoms up!
Coffee is my favorite thing about getting up.
ReplyDeleteI have a regular glass carafe for brewing. After if is brewed, I pour it in a thermal carafe.
Hugs cecilia
Did you throw the new one away?
ReplyDeleteSometimes Cheaper is definitely better.
ReplyDeleteI use my Mr. Coffee see through pot and it works just fine for me. I drink coffee and Dave drinks tea..So It's ALL About Me !!
Love the way you spin a tale.

Sometimes I miss coffee and I splurge and have a cup. Can you beleive I gave it up when I retired?!?!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you! I don't drink coffee or tea, so I haven't looked at coffee pots in years.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found something you liked. I have a small one. I'm the only one who likes coffee, as hubby does not drink it, nor tea. The pot holds enough for me to have a couple of cups and come to think of it, I haven't had mine yet, which is unusual. Heading to the coffee pot right now :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that coffee pots could go bad. Glad you were able to find a new one you liked.
