Oh that sucks...We have a sunbeam one too they rock, it's turned us into such snobs. The other day we were in the coffee isle at the Woolies and there was a sales rep for some coffee brand giving out free samples...she saw us and said 'hi do you guys drink instant coffee?' We looked in her direction and must have had such looks of disgust on our faces she smiled and said 'oh you only drink the good stuff'
she admitted her own stuff was crap!
