My coffee pot broke. No, not the electric coffeemaker or the espresso machine. I don't use either of those for myself. I use a french press, which is basically a beaker with a plunger. You put coffee and hot water in the beaker, wait 4 minutes and push the plunger down to strain out the grounds and then you have, at least in my opinion, the best coffee. Not much to break, except the beaker and those do break from time to time, so I went to replace it.
As I was paying at the kitchen store, I notice a big box on the counter with a label "Cordless Wine Opener." Most of the wine openers I've ever seen and all that I've ever used are called corkscrews and they're all cordless. When I mentioned this to the sales woman, she said, well this one just pulls the cork out by itself. That's a fine trait in a wine opener but is unrelated to cordlessness, so I asked if they had any that had cords, because I'd never seen a wine opener with a cord. This remark brought another sales person over, who told me that this one is automatic. I had more to say, but thought it best to leave before I was asked to do so. Now that I think about it, my coffee pot is cordless too!
As a footnote, I know I complain about my kids sometimes but I have to give them props for generally tolerating this kind of behavior when they're with me.
