You're getting there. And I think that a test like this would go a long
way towards getting their attention. It will also help the machine
makers understand what needs to be done, and will lead to better machines.
But you are only sabotaging one aspect of the brewing process. Are there
any "user error" problems with the various brewers that will also need
to be addressed?
