It's Worse Than That, It's Broken, Jim

That nifty-looking coffee maker I got the other day? Well it failed (as in cracked through) when I half filled it with warm tap water to clean it before use.

I dropped a note and a picture to sweetmarias where I purchased it, and they informed me that they can't replace it as Bodum has discontinued it - likely due to breakage issues.

"Give up bad design for good" indeed.

Too bad - it was pretty...
