The basket on mine wasn't staying closed so it would swing open and a big mess would happen, often. I had it tied closed with a twist tie for a time. This one was the only one I found that you could program and had the espresso option. And wasn't huge, and only $78, which a crazy amount for a coffee pot, but really I am worth it.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I need a new coffeepot. Mine keeps throwing up all over the counter.
A new coffee pot or an exorcist.

Ginger, Owen says, "Hi! I want to watch Olive [the Other Reindeer] and break and eat the candy canes on the Christmas tree!"
I can't wait until they understand the carrot-and-stickiness of Santa Claus.

Aaargh. I just had a nightmarish flashback to a train ride I took last Saturday back to Salem. Some grade-schooler age boy kept screeching "All of the other reindeer!" - just that one line - over and over again as loud as he could, with his mother barely shushing him or keeping him in check. The only mitigating factor was I couldn't quite tell if the kid was being maniacally obnoxious, or if he had some genuine issues. Impossible to ignore, either way. shudders at the memory

I need a new coffeepot, too, but I'm thinking of getting a french press. For the quality of coffee, and because it doesn't require power over the heating of the water, which I could do over a wood stove if I really wanted to.
