My coffeemaker stopped brewing. Dear husband the Professor purchased it for me about 5 years ago as a small compensation for having to live in the communist state of Illinois for a few years. After we did our troubleshooting (one machine, two engineers) we determined the problem was not one we could fix with parts on hand.
I then started thinking: How many coffeemakers did my Granny ever have ? The answer: one!
This sent me to Amazon to look for a non-electric percolator to use on my gas stove. Just like Granny. I found a stainless steel model for under $30.
This pot is so easy to use and to clean. All the stainless steel innards can be removed and cleaned. No more running vinegar through a black box and wondering if any of the plastic inside is growing mold or bacteria.
Best of all? The coffee I am making now tastes great! Better than any digital or electric I have had. Sometimes we don't need more technology. Sometimes we need just enough tech.
