Subject: Oh no - Much Loved B&D Infuze Vacuum Brewer Has Finally Kicked
|
I've had this now-discontinued Black & Decker Infuze for four years, and it has been fantastic. Unfortunately, I knew this day would come, and I would be unable to replace it. The handle on the lower vessel has started to rip away a big hole from the plastic, thus making a vacuum impossible. Not sure if this is something I can glue, or if I even want to. Thinking about replacements, the Bodom eSantos naturally comes to mind, but it seems that I've read so-so reviews over the years. Anyone own one of these and currently happy/unhappy? We have many other ways to make coffee here, but really love to have an automatic pot brewer for mornings and get-togethers. The infuze was great in that even though 9-of-10 times I just made coffee in the morning, it was programmable, which was a great convenience. I really wish they didn't stop making these so soon. Other considerations would be a higher-end drip brewer, like a Capresso, Technivorm, Bunn, etc, etc. Anyone have any recommendations/ thoughts on this path? Already have an espresso rig and chemex pot to hold me over in the mean time, but looking to replace the Infuze soon. . . thanks. Anthony.

There's no (...) in his e-mail address. Google obfuscates the address to prevent its spammers from harvesting addresses there. Everyone using an actual newsreader sees the part of the address before the @ symbol is rtwatches.
