Kitchen appliance replacement #1

We have a Keurig. Many people do. Ours was a Christmas gift from Brian's parents because we didn't have a coffee machine for them when they visited. It's super funny because everyone got a Keurig that year because of our lack of coffee machine. We weren't too impressed all those years ago, but we quickly found that we loved the little machine, and used it quite often: Brian for his morning coffee for work, me for hot water for my tea.

    I think we got the machine in December of 2013, or maybe 2014, but definitely one of those two years. We didn't baby it, we didn't coddle it. When it got cranky, I descaled it with vinegar, and then it would be fine for a year, and then it would get cranky again.

    This time though, the descaling didn't work, and the electronics were wonky and the machine itself wasn't pulling in water, or it was but not draining it, and it just moaned and groaned and wheezed. So yes, it was time to say goodbye to our trusty machine and get a new one. Best Buy gave us the selection we wanted to check out, but Amazon gave us the $40 savings as well. So we'd been able to check out the machine we wanted, and then pay less for it with free delivery. I ordered it Sunday night; it arrived today.

    It's definitely a new machine, all shiny and pretty, and way lighter in weight. Brian put it together for usage, and we've already brewed a cup of hot water to be sure it was working correctly. So tomorrow, the Keurig will be king again in our house, and brew up the goodness.
