super lucky coffee pot
when we moved here two & half years ago, we found most of our household contents at yard sales & craigslist... and we really hit the jackpot when we found a krups caffe duomo (espresso on left/coffee on right) for $5 .. the lady told us her neighbor gave it to her & she didnt even know how to use it! haha...
about a year ago i dropped something heavy on the espresso handle and broke it off.. and being the cheapskate i am, i just couldnt bring myself to pay $14.99 for a new replacement part.. and keeping one eye peeled at all times.
a week or so ago, i went to the goodwill store to buy my kids a replacement teapot and I FOUND ONE! and it fits perfectly. i got it for $1.. major thrill, and now we're back to our espresso ways.

hey, congratulations. sounds perfect. whatever happened to that coffeemaker you took home from here in '07? wasn't that an espresso maker? you can tell i dont' even know the difference.
yes its an espresso maker.. but i need to order some replacement parts for it from switzerland
that is so great! i love it when stuff like that happens to me!
like that time cosmo found a perfectly intact, never been used awesome marble maze/roller coaster at the good will. right at the moment when he was obsessed with marble mazes! i would have never expected to find such a thing at a thrift store.
Is that what a mother's life is all about?
