:(
Mom just called me to tell me the sad news that her coffee maker is now broken. :(
I bought it for her fortieth birthday. It was one of the most expensive ones you could get back then, and it took me months and months to save up the money for it. Back at that age I really didn't have anywhere to get money from, my parents never really believed in such things as allowances, we did get money for some specific things if we asked, but there was never anything regular and that made saving up money rather difficult. I don't remember exactly how much I payed for it, but even now it's probably more money than I could comfortably go and spend at once, out of the blue, and I'm rather amazed that I did manage to gather enough money to buy it.
And now after sixteen years of faithful service (brewing coffee around five times a day), the poor thing has finally given up. But it was definitely worth the money, I'd say.
