Query: Good While It Lasted

Bought this machine to replace the Cuisinart Thermal Coffee Maker that died on us after a year. The Cuisinart heating element went and the coffee suddenly started tasting plastic. When I read reviews I found out that that was typical of Cuisinart (and several people reported fires). So when the same thing began happening on the Zojirushi (funny plastic taste) after only 3 weeks, I decided to return it immediately and not risk any further problems. It's a shame because I am a big fan of the thermal pot makers for their ability to keep the coffee fresh and hot without a burner, but I can't seem to find one that will last. Trying the Militta thermal pot next, which got amazing reviews, time will tell.
