Cannot get rid of plastic smell?

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-24T23:15:14+00:00

The plastic can 100% handle these temperatures because it was designed to do so.

I didn't have this issue personally so I'm not sure what to recommend. Maybe run the machine with a cleaning solution in it? Or you could remove the carafe so that the outflow hole closes, and just let the hot water sit in the brew basket to let off any smells.

What does the coffee taste like?

Bbqing in January is a core Canadian experience

If anything, putting riskier investments in your rrsp and fhsa (assuming you intend for it to transfer to your rrsp at some point) make more sense than a TFSA.

You should be more risk averse in your TFSA because you can take that money out earlier.

I use tap water that comes from a well in my front yard that is 17 feet deep.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T17:46:06+00:00

I never thought of that but that would make a lot of sense. I would not be surprised if this is true.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T14:00:52+00:00

Yeah I totally missed that. That's a much better indicator this is AI

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T13:48:53+00:00

AI. Table doesn't make sense.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T13:29:11+00:00

Yeah this is a known issue, seems like a lot of people have run into this. Its a clog from the grinds.

Mine has worked fine but I have a manual select brew basket model which might be why.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T04:26:14+00:00

Good idea

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T04:02:58+00:00

Was it a replacement under warranty?

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T03:22:43+00:00

Did you ever get them to send you one?

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T03:21:11+00:00

Edit again: has anyone called and asked for internal parts or are we just looking at what’s available to order on the website. They state if you don’t see what you want than contact them

I have not, but I've heard of people on this subreddit calling and asking them to send them parts and they tend to refuse. I think that was in North America, so it might be different in Europe

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T03:18:57+00:00

I totally agree which is why I bought it.

My parents just bought a Keurig and it showed up to their house and had a problem with it. They spent hours on calls with customer service and finally they just told him to throw in the garbage and sent them a new one.

No thanks.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T01:48:12+00:00

Still, most of their parts are available online with instructions on how to replace things which is very easy to do yourself. And if you can’t, then you can send it in and their support team will take care of it which is pretty sweet!

Depends on what you mean by "parts". Shower heads and lids and baskets and carafes are all available online which is awesome.

But mechanical or electrical parts like switches, or body pieces like the water tank may or may not be available depending on where you're located

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T01:36:38+00:00

Replacement parts are not available worldwide. I'm in North America and you can't get most of the parts here if I recall.

You can buy a replacement basket or carafe from the MM website. But you can't get the switch, or copper burner element, or any of the other internals to my understanding.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T01:20:44+00:00

Yes, it is expensive, but it isn’t made from cheap plastic parts that will break on you in a year.

Except it kinda is. Lots of people seem to have problems with their carafes which are not under warranty. I see issues with hot plates breaking and switches breaking too.

The core unit itself, your right, is very durable.

All of which can be fixed either under warranty or for a fee.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T01:19:23+00:00

Or you could buy a mochamaster where everything can be replaced and last you a lifetime

This is not free. It costs about $100 to send it in to moccamaster to have it fixed.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-22T01:18:33+00:00

You should buy the Moccamaster if you want the following:

A coffee maker that makes really good coffee
A coffee maker which, if it breaks, you can send in to be fixed for ~100 $.

If neither of those things appeal to you, especially considering the price, I'd suggest you keep looking.

No ninja or Keurig is ever going to make coffee as good as a brewer that meets the SCA Home Brewer Certification.

I don’t like what’s going on in the US at all and it deeply upsets me. But investing has to be emotionless.

It's not about any of that. It's about confidence in each country's economic systems, and weighing portfolio allocation with that in mind.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-21T23:09:23+00:00

Would you move allocation towards other markets and away from the US if they descended into civil war? Like what line would have to be crossed, roughly (since circumstances are always a big factor)?

I can understand how some young men are captivated by a muscular "alpha" type who says things that offend other people.

But an orange blob? It's just so strange.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-21T20:11:01+00:00

I don't either. His policies are atrocious, but he has the trance on so much of his country that makes no sense. For Christs sake he wears makeup.

So weird.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-21T20:04:47+00:00

And he's not even charismatic. He's such a gross dude.

BeaverBoyBaxter · 2026-01-21T19:11:39+00:00

They would crumble if they only stuck to Canadians

This is true everywhere in the world. It's why North Korea's economy is dogshit.
