R.I.P. Mr Coffee

Posted by linkmeister on 29 January 2017, 11:27 am

Hey, this coffemaker lasted five-plus years before it died! That’s pretty good for this household. I bought it in January of 2012; previous ones lasted less than two years and sometimes as little as one.

But why do they die mid-brew? It’s an outrage.
