The saga of my leaky coffee maker continues (as if anyone's going to read this...). The leak has rapidly grown from a trickle to a flood, which in a sense is good news, since it means it's probably a new problem. It's good to know my appliances have only recently started trying to electrocute me. But it means I'm definitely going to have to throw it out (I think the council wants me to take it somewhere for recycling, but that's too much effort). For the moment I've replaced it with my old one, which I wasn't using for some reason... yes, now I remember. The non-return valve keeps sticking in the closed position, and every time it does I have to whack the damn thing to dislodge it. Time will tell whether this becomes annoying enough to force me into buying a new one.
