our family experienced a GREAT loss this morning!!!

[pepe mint]

I am so sad. We had a MAJOR loss in the family today



we enjoyed each other every morning...and the occasional evenings. We really do have some great memories together. I am truly heart broken


it's my coffee maker. yep...it died. it has been sick for some time...but this morning, I just can't seem to revive it.

This coffee maker came to me in a very funny way. well, funny to me. For my bridal shower, my mother in law decided NOT to shop from my registry...and instead bought me over $300 worth of plates....with ROOSTERS on them. Now...to each his own....but she has been to my house many times and knows that we do not have ANYTHING like that. nothing at all. so we kindly accepted, then took them back to Williams Sonoma and got a $317 credit to use there. We bought a nice coffee maker, a nice bread box, a submersible blender, and a few knick knacks. we made out quite nicely actually

the last couple of months, the coffee maker has been shutting off a lot...kinda like it is shorting out. the company told us that we just need to clean it with vinegar. well, we did that...as we do all the time anyway...and it still was crapping the bed. it is still under warranty, so we called again and they want us to pay $10 for shipping a new one to us, plus pay to ship the old one to them via ups. well...we have decided to wait until it is completely dead...and I woke up this morning to a completely dead coffee maker.

Soooooo sorry for your loss Mandee

Boy, that coffee maker must not have had a very long life -- I would recommend a different kind as a replacement ..... but don't ask me what kind, because I don't drink coffee

I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you are able to get through this hard time, and that you will be able to make it through your mornings, but if you can't I want to recommend to you my friend called Redbull, well after you have your baby though!

Did you guys have a warranty, that's an expensive coffee maker, I would see if the store you bought it from or the manufacturer can offer any replacement.

Myself- I have 2 for back ups-LOL!! Or my world would would stop spinning!! LOL!!

If you're looking for a new one, let me suggest this one:

Amazon.com: Melitta MEMB1 Mill & Brew...
We've gone through many coffee makers over the years, and we've had this one for I think 3 or 4 years now. It was not even very expensive.

HEre's the review I posted on it: Amazon.com: M. Simon's review of Melitta MEMB1B Mill & Brew 10-Cup Coffeema...

Geeze....sorry for your loss....it sure didn't last very long! We've got a Krups coffee/espresso/cappuccino machine that we've had for 8 yrs and haven't had a problem with it ever. I use it almost everyday and use the espresso/steamer probably once or twice a week. I was actually looking at some of the coffee makers at W/S b/c I'd like to get a stainless one instead of the black that we've got now...maybe I'll just wait til this one dies, LOL.

[yougetthesmiles]

I'm so sorry but I can't help but laugh! You had me, I was like, omg, now what? and then I kept reading, ohhhh that was a good one girl!

I'm sorry your coffee maker took a poop on you today, I would also be heart broken! RIP maker

[nvnvgirl]

Here's a picture of the one we've got~ or it's similar anyway....I never really thought about it, but I guess it's been a really good little coffee maker. I don't think I realized how long we've had it til now! I'm still wanting the stainless model though

you need to find that thread I started way back about the free Senseo coffee pots Senseo gives away.

just pay for shipping and bam you get an awesome coffe maker for free

oh and I should say I am truly sorry for your loss ((hugs)) to you!!

[tigerelsker]

Here is the one I have, I've had it for at least 5 years now.

See sometimes losses are Good Things!
I am hopeing my coffee maker will croak soon!

I have already told my husband I want a Keurig!
We have one at work and my sister has one. You can make one cup at a time and that would be great because I am the only one that drinks coffee!
keurig makes these lil K-cups filled with coffee or tea. Newman makes organic coffee that I like. There is a Kona coffee yum and I cant forget Emerils robust dark roast! Ok... what would happen if i submerged the coffee pot in the pool for a while? YOU think I could drown it?

We have the exact same coffee maker! We had it for about a year and then it started acting up, it just wouldn't brew all the water! They told us to do the same thing and we did and it did ok for awhile. Then it started acting up again. If we made 8 cups, it would brew 4-5 cups of water.
So we paid the $10 and got a new one sent to us as well.
It actually happened again once so far on this one. Obviously there is some kind of design flaw on this model and it's really a shame! We love not having a pot!
