From brilliant, committed employees to out-of-the-box thinking and the desire to make the internet a better place, there are numerous reasons for HotPads' success. However, one of the most important components of HotPads is the thing that gets us going every morning, mid-morning, post-lunch, mid-afternoon, and many evenings: coffee.
Now, I know our
dedication to coffee has been well-documented, but the arrival of our new friend Mr. Bunn NHB Professional Coffee Brewer (in black) comes at the expense of having to say good bye to our old one: the Bodum Santos Electric Vacuum Coffee Maker.
The Bodum Santos Electric Vacuum Coffee Maker put in some great work here at HotPads. Unfortunately, like his predecessor before and the one before that, Bodum has decided to retire, once again citing "over use." Coffee time was always an adventure with Bodum, especially when Matt brewed it, and it sure wasn't shy about leaving it's mark on the tables, walls, rugs, and our hearts. The coffee it brewed was remarkable and we will miss it.
Now, the engineers begged me not to introduce our new coffee maker, saying it wasn't cool enough... it didn't even have it's own
YouTube video showing it in action... but I think we ought to give the proper introduction to the newest and integral member of our HotPads Team: Mr. Bunn. We look forward to the good times with you and I know you'll prove them wrong.
