It is kind of a curse for my trip. Every time I take a trip. There is something broken in my house when I am back. I paid a visit to San Francisco for sixteen days early this month. When I am back home, I find two small appliances broken.
1) The electric water heater/dispenser can not keep warm.
2) The coffeemaker’s plug is very hot. Sometimes the circuit breaker jumped.
Both are about 7 years old.
So my wife and I decided to get a new one to replace them.
At Costco Warehouse, we bought a Tiger 4L hot water boiler. $179.99 before tax.
- Four temperature settings to choose from (208°F, 194°F, 176°F, and 158°F)
- Prepare tea, instant food, baby formulas, blanch vegetables, and more
- Non-stick inner container for easy cleaning
- Made in Japan
After a few days’ use, I am happy with it.
It is quiet when I press the dispense button. I can easily tell if it needs to be added to water.
One-year warranty.
We bought a Black+Decker 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker at Longdon Drugs.
I went to Walmart first. It is $39.99 at Walmart. It is on sale at LondonDrugs with $5 discount.
We don’t need those fancy features. The features we will never use.
2-year warranty.
12-cup coffeemaker
Fast brewing for up to 12 cups of coffee.
Digital controls
QuickTouch programming lets you set the digital clock and program the 24-hour auto brew feature so you can brew coffee now or later.
Vortex technology water flow
The exclusive showerhead design evenly saturates coffee grounds, resulting in maximum flavor.
2-hour auto shutoff
For added safety and peace of mind with every use.
Sneak-A-Cup feature
Temporarily stops the flow of coffee so you can pour your first cup before brewing ends without making a mess.
The main reason for this post is to record the time we bought them. It is July 25th.
