I want to see the inside of that bad boy.

My grandparents had the exact same coffee maker / pot combo.

[ikidd@lemmy.world]

Oh, we had one of these. It damn near caught the kitchen on fire one day about a decade ago.

[bcsven@lemmy.ca]

The GE heater would fail on these and catch the whole house on fire.

[zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Yep, corningware. Decent glassware, plentiful in thrift stores.

Good ol' GE, such a quirky product line: coffee makers, jet engines, alarm clocks, gatling guns, washing machines, and nuclear power plants.

[breadoven@lemmy.world]

Love that carafe.

[komfortableskissen@discuss.tchncs.de]

Well, if you can make a washing machine, you can make a nuclear power plant.

Yikes that’s filthy

[bemorecareful@lemmy.world]

I remember some things with that pattern from my youth

[happyskullsplitter@lemmy.world]

Corning re-released the pattern at some point

Popcorn machine from 1978 still going strong after being fixed and repaired by me three times now. I bought one new modern popcorn machine because it was on sale ... it burnt out in two months and the built in electronics were designed to never be fixed. The old 1978 unit is basically just a blower motor operated by switch, controlled by a simple thermostat attached to a heating coil .. every part is easily accessible and can be fixed ... all of it easily repairable, fixable and parts replaceable.
