There, peeping above the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up and out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. J.R.R. Tolkien

Another One Bites the Dust

Another coffee maker down. We kill them. I don't know why. The most recent one was actually really nice due to a gift we received. It's dead. We bought another one. Not as nice. I followed all the start-up directions. The coffee tasted horrible. Chemically. (is that a word?) Like burned plastic. I repeated the start-up steps. Washed everything again. Ran vinegar through it. Ran water through it two more times. Washed everything again. More coffee. Awful. Smelled the inside of the coffee maker. Awful. Had multiple people smell it. All agreed--AWFUL!!! In all of this, the only person who thinks all is well is Brian. He doesn't smell anything and thinks the coffee tastes fine. Out of his great love for me, he is returning the coffee maker.

Oh, how I sincerely hope....just a small, but earnest hope....that we can get an affordable coffee maker that doesn't smell horrible and lasts for quite awhile.

  1. You can get a free one from Gevalia with a purchase of their coffee. I don't remember how much (I want to say it was $10 when we got ours) and its a REALLY nice one!

It's always fun to get comments, but if you post anonymously, I don't know who you are! It would be super if you would leave your name.
