thrift shops are the way to go for this stuff.
i am still kicking myself in the ass for spending big bucks on a coffee marker that is a piece of shit. the grounds overflow all.the.time. and the built in grinder is a royal pain it the ass. clogs up about every third pot. i dont even use it. i use my trusty ebay find grinder.

everything is junk these days. the good old good ones are out there.
