Last week, our coffee pot died. Now this wasn’t just any old coffee pot, but a 17 1/2 year old drip coffee pot. Back in 1992, my wife and I were spending our “Foley’s Bucks” from our wedding and we needed a coffee pot. Should we buy the Braun or Krups, German made ones for $150 or so. No, let’s just buy the West Bend Quik Drip for $35. We did. We made coffee almost every day. Seventeen plus years, wow. Seems like my dad and in-laws buy a new pot every couple years or so. Pretty good use of $35; $2 a year.
RIP West Bend Quik Drip 1992-2009
