The title says it all....and Im devastated!! I love my sunbeam cafe series coffee machine, but the heating element is busted and shorted out the electricity in our house! sadly is just out of the warranty period.

So instead of my morning latte hit, I had to get creative, pulled out the plunger, put the kettle on and did some research....I discovered a coffee snobs forum with some great info, that led me to almost getting the right milk consistency (without my steamer) in the microwave and then the blender, OMG the lengths I will go to for a decent cup of coffee!
I dont trust the cafes around here, you can pay up to $5 for a cup of coffee and its not guaranteed that it will even be drinkable...sad, sad, I know, I think I have to put my hand up and say I definatley am a coffee snob.
anyone else out there?
