I don't know how to make coffee. I try but god do I suck at it! I LOVE coffee & drink lots every morning. Brian makes it & its fabulous. I don't think its a coincidence that he worked at some fancy coffee place in high school. I on the other hand have quite obviously never worked in a place that would let me make coffee. Anyway, Brian didn't make the coffee this morning, so I tried-its not good, sadly. But that's not really my issue this morning-I'll drink it (what's left) and shut up about it. What's left? Yes, what's left. My coffee maker is sitting in the garage waiting to get thrown out! Why? This thing is why! Grrrr!
I bought this about 2 years ago. After a short time, it began to leak from the bottom. I stupidly kept it ( I assume because its pretty!). I went online & learned its a problem with this model in general. It only leaked a little-I could live with it. Plus we didn't use it everyday for a bit. When we (almost) finished the upstairs kitchen, it came upstairs with me. I dug out the old, less pretty model for downstairs which is the one we've been using daily. So this morning, I set out to make coffee. I cleaned it & set it to brew & left the room. It didn't beep, so I went in to check it out. I found it out that the "fill gauge' read only 1/2 full. Then I saw the giant puddle on the counter. THEN I saw the soaking wet rug below-that's coffee, not water!
For now I'll be using the old crappy coffee maker, its not pretty, but it gets it done. Cuisinart-you suck! Any recommendations welcome!
