So I finally have a chance to buy a new one after making cowboy coffee for like 3 years. Wondering what’s good out there? My last one was a mr. coffee and it barely made it a year, I think it was defective. I’m looking somewhere in the $20-$30 range.
I have a cheap as black and decker that I got for 25ish at Walmart about five years ago. It’s been resurrected a few times, I’ve scavenged the heat element out of others I’ve found roadside, and the carafe is from a Ninja, but it fits perfect and even makes the pause feature on the drip end work properly. The pot warmer no longer functions but the ninja carafe is double insulated so it wouldn’t warm it anyway. It’s more a coffee maker of Theseus at this point but I’m gonna drive this hoor until the wheels fall off it then go back with another 25 dollar cheapie from wherever. Idgaf. Im after that sweet sweet caffeine buzz.
Man after my own heart!
