You may recall that I bought a new coffee maker about a month ago. Two days ago it quit working. I suspected the plug adapter that I had purchased to fit the "British" plug into the Egyptian socket and took a close look.
Hey somethings been cooking besides the coffee! I opened it up and saw that it relied on pressure between screws and contacts. Yes, one of the internal screws was loose, and the plastic a bit deformed. Looks like Mr. Sparky's been there too. he definitely took the shine off the head of one screw.
When I bought a replacement last night, I noticed that they also came in 2-packs and 3-packs. Maybe I should always keep a spare around.
Made in China, sold in Egypt. Americans have no idea what comfort they live in thanks to Underwriters Labs, Consumer Reports and the like.
