I've went thru 3 different coffeemakers in a friggin' year! One B&D, one Mr. Coffee (the WORST!) and one Hamilton Beach. My dumb@$$ threw away the box and stuff to the one month old B&D last week and this morning it took a dump. It lights up when you hit the Start button but nothing happens. I'm sick of this Made in China crap and it's starting to boil over but we (the consumer) are hog-tied. I don't want to pay $200+ for a restaurant style maker to crowd up my kitchen counter for a few cups of usage a day but man, what's a bloke to do????
