Our First Coffee Pot (1999 - 2008)


On Saturday, August 2 at approximately 7:30 p.m., the coffee pot died due to complications with its electrical wiring. Given to David and Jaime as a wedding gift, the coffee pot faithfully brewed coffee for over nine years. During its lifetime, the coffee pot produced countless cups of quality Community Coffee, brewing milder roast and the more industrial variety, common in the New Orleans area, with equal ease. The coffee pot was also known for its effortless handling of high-end specialty coffees as well as exotic roasts from countries like Kenya and El Salvador. A durable machine, the coffee pot survived the destructive forces of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and remained entirely intact. Though gone from us, the coffee pot and the enjoyment he brought will long be remembered. The coffee pot is survived by the coffee grinder, espresso maker, automatic can opener and the crock pot.

I'm sorry to hear about the coffee pot. I hope the crock pot and espress machine are handling the loss well.
