The new coffeemaker is in da house -- George just got home with it about an hour and a half ago. It came with a cute little orange card that said "Please Wash Me with warm, sudsy water before using!", so we did, and lo and behold it actually makes a decent pot of coffee.
However, compared to our old coffeemaker, it appears... well, a bit fragile and ricketty. It has a lot more moving parts, ie: more stuff to break. The old coffee maker was a solid state marvel. If this new one lasts a year I'll be pleasantly surprised. But for $34.99, what more can you really expect?
I'm managing to get work done, albeit slowly. But I've been absolutely horrible as far as my eating schedule -- eating too much and at intervals shorter than four hours. When I'm in the lighter stages of depression eating brngs comfort, so... yeah. *embarassed shrug* I'm going to try to exercise around 8 pm but I'll have to see how my body feels.
Back to work, and trying not to think of the fresh juicy apples in the kitchen fruit bowl.

It will last a long time. Sturdiness isn't next to godliness with coffee makers, it seems. I had a B&D very similar to yours for a few years.
39.99 is a good deal for a coffee maker, but not unheard of. B&D tends to be reasonably priced and a good product. (i sound like an info mercial)..
Ours is a twelve cup, really good, and i only paid about the same. not on sale.
Sorry, here comes my hondler (bargainer) instinct again. Ahem.
