small appliance update

My behavior during this pandemic is like everyone else's.

I decide to bake and can't find flour or baking powder for weeks.

My drawers and cabinets are all well organized.

My apartment has never been cleaner.

I love Lululemon again, and then learn that their sales are up. Who needs clothes for anything other than Zoom meetings, running errands, going for a walk/run/bike ride, or hanging out at home?

I'm running out of at-home activities, so I decide to update my small appliances.

First to go is my mustard-colored hand mixer that I've had since I was married, a million years ago.

Then there's my 13-year old inexpensive Dualit toaster, whose crumb-infested metal grates are impossible to clean. I replace it with a Breville Smart Toaster that while I've only used twice, I already love.

Next is my 5-year old Bonavita coffee maker that came with a thermal carafe (I prefer glass). 

I am now searching for my next coffee maker (I closeted my Keurig months ago). I have three criteria; it must: 

  • make amazing coffee
  • come with a glass carafe
  • be simple to use (I don't care about extraneous add-ons)

I am open to your suggestions, so please let me know. Right now, I'm leaning toward the Cuisinart DCC 3200.

As for my small appliances, Alexander has no interest, but my doorman does.
