Great minds and all that... About 15 years ago David and I bought, at
Bloomingdale's, a Braun drip machine in a distinctly yellow-ocre color. It
worked flawlessly for years, and we gave it up only this year because we
wanted a black and SS coffee maker for our new kitchen which is a mix of
black and SS appliances, with a black granite color countertop. Being on a
reduced budget as we are now, we opted for a "higher enc" Mr. Coffee. We
actually like it even better than any drip machine we've owned to date,
which includes Braun and Krups.
