A while back I purchased a new Mr. Coffee coffee maker. I suppose I could have bought a $100 grind and brew Krups but, cheap ass that I am, I bought the $40 Mr. Coffee. I so wish I would have bought the Krups. The Mr. Coffee makes delicious coffee but that is it. The coffee maker beeps, not once, not twice, but five fricking times when the coffee is finished brewing! Keep in mind that it has a feature that you can remove the coffee pot to pour a cup while the coffee is still brewing. Why, I ask you, do you need the five beeps? It must be for people with ADD who forgot that only three fricking minutes ago they started the coffee brewing! That's not the least of it. It also has an automatic shut off that turns the coffee maker off after 2 hours. When that happens, you guessed it, more fricking beeping! It also features an incredibly bright green analog clock that could quite possibly blind me in my "good eye." At one point, the clock was bothering me so much that Rick rigged a cover for the clock so I couldn't see it. That worked fine for awhile but in one of my wiping frenzies the cover fell off. So we tried to break the clock. First with the all-purpose household tool, the butter knife, then the potato peeler. No luck. Once again the clock is exposed and I am stalked by the bright green light. No cup of coffee is that good that one should have to tolerate this piece of shit coffee maker. Death to Mr. Coffee and all the assholes that tested this coffee maker. I am no longer amazed that there is a Starbuck's on every corner.

I have seen this green clock and I can assure you that it just as blindingly obnoxious as she claims. Whoever designed it should be flogged with a 5-lb. bag of coffee beans.
