Tool of the Devil
It hates me. It's like one of those pets which only likes one person in the house - and I'm not the beloved. This morning the spring-loaded caddy holding the grounds popped open 3 times - twice while the grinding was going on and once during brewing. If I were a more strong-minded person I'd break it, tell my mother it died on its own, and buy her something ELSE.
The coffee maker has certainly been the biggest drawback of my 10 morning visit home - when I'm here we definitely need two pots to get through the morning, and making a second pot with this machine means washing and carefully drying the built-in grinder. What a pain! The pity is that when it works it makes pretty good coffee.
