Wall Street Titan: Bernie Sanders Will Help the Real Economy

[passiveporcupine]

52. I got tired of havingto grind my coffee for awhile

and bought ground from the whole bean coffee displays (use the store grinder). I gave my Braun grinder to my sister, who I'm sure is still using it. Then I got tired of pre-ground coffee and had to buy a new grinder (Black and Decker). Had it for a few years and the tip of a blade broke off and I had to toss it and buy another one. I just recently bought a Cuisinart burr mill grinder, so I wouldn't have to time my grinding every morning (I grind it to almost Turkish, for my espresso machine), and two weeks after I bought the new, expensive, burr mill grinder, my "new" crock pot (only had it a few months) blew pork stock all over my kitchen, including all over the new electric grinder...fatty liquid got down in the controls and now it doesn't work. I'm still trying to work with crock pot to replace it and already know I will never buy another crock pot unless I can find an old vintage one again, because they have cranked up the heat on them (federal regulations, I think, because of people not using them safely), and now even warm is too hot and foods can super-heat and blow like mine did.

So I just lost two appliances, one of which I will be replacing...the other I won't. The cheap crock pot came from Walmart (only place to buy small appliances in town) and the burr mill grinder came from Amazon. I'm not counting on the grinder lasting too long either though. I need to finish this. Crockpot send me a return label to send both products to them. They want to test the crockpot to see if it is hotter than it's supposed to be. I already know it's within specs, but the specs are no good any more (did a lot of research on that). So I don't know if I'll get my $50 back for the grinder and my $14 back for the crock pot. I still have not found a box big enough to put them both in.

I have a feeling the Braun grinder will outlast my sister.
