Coffee Makers. You are doing it wrong!

For years I have run a Kitchen Aid Coffee maker. My old one throws out an error code and dies last year after many years of service. After a bit of time with the replacement I have come to some conclusions. I must have gotten the box that did not have the sticker on it that said "Be the life of the party, unit equipped with dribble carafe".

I don't know how many paper towels I used to clean up after this hot mess of a coffee maker.  Getting the "CLEAN" indicator off of the screen was just as problematic. I had well enough and searched for a replacement. I came up with this. 

 















It is sitting next to a old burr Kitchen Aid grinder. The grinder is awesome.  How sad that Kitchen Aid is crap now. 

What were the selling points for the new coffee maker? A momentary toggle and rotary switches for all of the important stuff. A LCD clock that did not light up and overwhelm. How many clocks do you need in the kitchen anyway?  The range, microwave, and alarm keypad all have them.

Now back to some other tasks. Can anyone guess what this tool does? 

 











Give ya a hint. It will be used to put something in this pile of stuff on a 1966 Mustang. 

 














To make it more difficult the pile of stuff contains parts for a '66, 71, '94, and 2013 Mustang.
