We were so pleased with our purchase. The new appliance was the center of attention in the household, we gazed upon it with adoring eyes and it filled the house with the rich aromas of freshly brewed gourmet coffee at the push of a button. We even bought a tray table at Pier 1 Imports to set up a spiffy coffee station.
Unfortunately, the darn thing just gave up today. Simply rendered itself useless. It can boil a mean cup of hot water, man, but what good is a coffeemaker that can’t brew a cup of coffee?
It tries its darndest. It makes a sputtering noise, shoots out an ounce of coffee, and just stops in its tracks, resetting itself and proclaiming that it’s READY to brew yet another incomplete cup. What’s up with that? We wasted five K-Cups with vain hopes that it would miraculously self-repair after repeated attempts. I even rebooted it a few times. It works for PC’s. Why not coffeemakers?
Heck, we even RTFM’d. Okay, RTM’d. (“Read the manual,” that is.) We followed the troubleshooting steps. No luck. A day without freshly brewed coffee is like a day without sunshine. Well, alright, it isn’t that bad, but it sounded good and dramatic.
I am hoping that Best Buy will take it back and give us a replacement. After all, the bugger is only 8 days old. There has to be a lemon law for coffeemakers, too. Right?
