I saw a story in the News section of Coffeegeek regarding the recall of one
of Starbucks thermal brewers and didn't know if any one had already posted
anything on A.C.
Here is a link to the Consumer Product Safety Commission announcement:

Hmmm. I'm old enough to remember when "Made in Japan" was considered
synonymous with "junk". Things change.

Pure curiosity, not a criticism - I've seen a lot of tinyurl's on AC -
why do people use them?
The target URL isn't very long and I think it's helpful to see the full
URL before you click to let you assess whether the source is reliable
enough to read....
I'm just concerned that I'm missing a netiquette principal?

Point taken. Generally, I use TinyURL out of habit, just in case the
original URL is not so "tiny" :-).
As for the "Junk Brewer" and "Red China" reference by Daveb, I could not
disagree more although you are certainly free to express your opinion.
I own two previous models of the Barista Aroma Thermal brewer ( 4 cup and 8
cup models ). They've worked great for years and I would not hesitate
buying more products from Starbucks in the future. They've got a terrific
track record with regard to the customer service that I have personally
experienced. Their coffee beans are not always my first choice ( I prefer
Panther City Coffee because they roast in-house, or my own homeroast ), but
their coffee of the day usually will do in a pinch.
Anyway, I didn't want to give anyone the impression that I was bashing
Starbucks. I was just giving out an FYI to fellow A.C.'ers in case they
owned this coffee maker. I wouldn't want anyone's home, or worse, destroyed
because of a fire.

Agreed!
And I might add that there are Web server exploits that can do pretty nasty
things to your computer just by viewing a Web page.
No way I'd ever click a tinyurl link!

Agreed, it is old school, but still true. Still forced labor and
sweatshops.
4 million US mfg jobs lost, 200 billion trade deficit to them this
year. ROTFL!
All so we can git stuff cheap.
sorry.
