I like coffee. I roast my own, grind my own and then "drip" brew it. (I am not sure that "brew" is a [View all]

correct term for the process but you get the idea.) I ain't much into fancy stuff like frappe or such. Just a plain, old cup of drip coffee.

Well, the $190 Cuisinart coffee maker collapsed today and Cuisinart -- well they no longer support the fuckin' thing. It is now, useless.

So, off to Costco. The only brand on the shelf was Ninja for a couple'a hundred. Fuck that.

Next, off to Target --- Ninja, Cuzze, and other brands for $100 or more.


Then I find a box on the "special" shelf, $19.99.


$150 or 19.95, the process is the same: hot water is poured over grounds and the process leaches residue from the grounds and you get your coffee. This process is the same for any of the units on the shelf.

So the $19.99 (plus tax) is on the counter making coffee as good as the stuff that came out of the $190 piece or shit. Unfortunately, the new one doesn't have as many buttons to press.
