JZ- I use a stovetop one like this (only mine was $10.00 in the ethnic food section of my grocery store).
I would say it can't die, however, I killed mine this morning by putting it on the stove with no water and starting a fire. So I, too, am in the market for a new coffee maker.
OMG, I just looked at my electric bill for December. It's $170!!! Has to be because I and/or my mom was home for those three weeks. Last December, I only used 1300 kw--this year, it's 2000.
I used to own a Gaggia Carezza (I had to lose it in the move). I used it daily in my office when I had a job and occasionally at home when I didn't. I bartered it to the producer of my album and as far as I know it's still working for him. However, it's an older model so it may be a little hard to find. I see some listings on Google Shopping but I didn't hit the links to follow through:
I have a ten-year-old espresso maker, sitting in my closet, unopened in its original box. It was supposed to be a gift for my sister who gave the same xmas list to both me and my brother-in-law.

Ah! An Italian job! We have two which are our only coffee makers. Such delicious coffee! (I actually kind of like the french press better but had to stop using it after I burned myself terribly twice last year)
I'm a big fan of the Aeropress. People with better palates than mine tell me its brew is espresso-like. It won my heart by being by far the easiest to clean of any coffee making apparatus I have used.
Attempting this from iTouch... lisah , neighbor & I have plans that go as far as "booze and uhh..." so I'd be happy to entertain any proposals beyond that & include her.
Ok, not fast, but bearable . Maybe I'll get used to it when I get my own in a week or so.

Have you been to the ball drop at 34th before? It is MAGICAL!
The kids are playing Wii again, but I'm planning on getting them out later today to move their bodies. My vote is to go to the outdoor skating rink in SM, but we'll see if that works out. I know DH has to take my MiL to get a chest X-ray. Is there a Sparky f2f in the works?
I'm waiting for the plumber right now. Our pipes are complaining after all those rains, and I'd rather clean them now than wait for the toilets to back up.

I sent an email a few days ago to your profile account, Burrell that had my cell # w/ the subject line F2F, and Kat mentioned the Skirball Center for this afternoon. I don't know how her kids are feeling. Anything outdoors certainly seems like a good idea. K just went down for a nap, so she'll be social in an hour or two.
