I'm wondering if this isn't a happenstance purchase. I searched on Amazon a
coffee maker that I thought was a pretty good idea, it had over 200 reviews,
most of them pretty darned bad. I was totally surprised.

Here is what I plan to do when I research a new purchase of a coffee pot.
Google "coffee makers," find something that looks like you would really like
to have.
Then read the multitude of reviews about it. I think these hundreds of
reviews really get down to the nitty-gritty about a coffee maker. And they
are really passionate about it when they write the review.
Coffee is something I love, and a coffee maker is something I'm not very
complacent about; and I don't want to turn around and invest bigger bucks in
something I don't like.
For instance, the coffee maker I was researching, too many were saying that
the coffee in it was not hot enough. This is something you can learn from a
multitude of reviewers, saying what they don't like instead of what they do
like. What someone else might recommend, I might hate, but I like to know
what people hate about something they bought.
