For many years, I have kept a coffee maker in my office. I need to have my caffeine. My long time companion has been an Oster coffee maker, with timer. I set it to make a pot of coffee just before I get to work in the morning.
This Thursday, I arrived at work and there was no coffee. I checked and it was full of water and grounds. So I figured that I had forgotten to press the start button.
I pressed the button, and just a few drops of water came out, then it stopped.
No. It couldn't happen. My coffee maker couldn't die, so close to my 'graduation.' We had been together for at least ten years, and now this.
Well, I brought in a replacement this morning. A shiny new Kenmore coffee maker that we had at home. It had been only used a few times. Now I am set for the rest of the year. Or so I thought.
Today, I was showing my students "Consumer Reports" magazine. In paging through, I saw that there had been a recall on Kenmore coffee makers. It seems that they can over heat and catch fire.
Hmmm. How would it be to have my coffee maker burn down the building, just before I retire!?
