Query: Don't buy this product, it won't last

My wife got me this maker for Christmas last year. It is now dead. When I first used it, it brewed the 4 cups (which is actually two regular size cups of coffee) in about 5 minutes or less. Then it progressively took longer and longer and longer until finally it took so long to brew the pot of coffee that most of the water had evaporated as steam and I only got one normal size cup of coffee out of it. I too have owned Mr. Coffee makers in the past and they lasted years. I have a Mr. Coffee grinder that is at least 10 years old and still out performs any other grinder I've owned. But the new products that this company is putting out there for consumers is an absolute ripoff. It's a shame that a company that used to make such reliable goods has gone the way of cheaper, weaker and disposable. Don't waste you money.
