Another espresso machine recall

Last month I posted about the recall of the Krups Orchestro Espresso Maker due to a fire hazard involving eroded electrical connectors. This week, a similar recall was issued on the Capresso C1000 Automatic Coffee Center, made by the same manufacturer, Eugster/Frismag, of Switzerland. As with the Krups model, the electrical connectors on the Capresso machine are prone to eroding and causing fires. Four fires have been reported so far, none with injuries, according to a release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC estimates that there are roughly 28,000 machines affected by this recall.

I looked at the Krups Orchestro Espresso Maker and anted one real bad, but didn't want to spend all that $$$. After two months of thoughtful consideration, I eventually got the Braun Tassimo Machine.

When I originally saw it, Amazon had it listed at $129. A month later I decided to buy it and notced that Amazon now had it listed at $169. What gives?

I ended up buying it direct from Braun at $169 with 4-eeeeeaaaaasy monthly payments. The problem was that it took three weeks to sip[, but thye threw in two steel travel mugs and two free packs of coffee discs.

Works great so far!

Cheers,
