I loved mine: R.I.P.
I loaned mine out and when the guy returned it it was all smashed in on the side and he was like "uh, that was like that when you loaned it to me, right?"
wtf? How in the world would that have even been possible? Sooo he was somehow impossibly using it for a few months with a shattered hole in the side.
I said "mmm, I don't think so."
He said he'd buy me a new one and never did. He had just gotten a job at a fancy spa and I am still a poor student. Hubby any I use a use a Mr Coffee-type coffee maker with a small metal pot because the carafe is missing.
