My Coffee Maker Bites the Dust
My Norelco coffee maker shot craps the other day. I have had it 40 years and it made the fastest, bestest coffee. DW said it just stopped working. 
* * *
Then, after first confiding with her coworkers, she admitted to me that she had forgotten to put water in it. When she realized it, she dumped cold water into the heated-up unit, and that did it in.
* * *
Oh well, I can't change it, you know, bring back my coffee maker, so I might as well keep her.

I just got a new beautiful coffee maker by Cuisinart and it came with a stainless steel carafe. It's a wonderful thing.

I just got a plug-in percolator and it makes me happy! The coffee is really strong and hot.

So sorry for your loss.
A moment of silence for the recently departed....... 
Mr. Coffee (AKA my "domestic partner") makes a decent cup o' Joe.
Have you tried Ebay for a "classic" Norelco replacement ?
Is this the one ? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Norelco-...3A1%7C294%3A50

You could always go with an exploding Senseo.

I believe that's what we've got stuck away in the cupboard. DW doesn't want it sitting out cuz it's so big. She watches HGTV so kitchen countertop clutter is taboo.
Yeah, like my Norleco was so pretty sitting there!!!!

This is so funny! I don't care how little counterspace I have, I want my coffee maker at the ready....but I sure understand DW's need for space.
