The favorite coffee pot

The favorite coffeepot.
This seems to be the favorite coffeepot of the house, despite the fact that its handle fell off, or melted off, and the plastic knob on the lid has melted into a sorry blob. Once a coffee pot is seasoned, no one wants to get rid of it. It takes a long time to break in a new one.
Sometimes they explode if you don't close the two halves tight enough before you set it on the burner. In Favignana I know of one lady who had her coffee pot embedded in her kitchen ceiling. One exploded in our kitchen, before my time here. The coffee splatter still decorates the upper kitchen walls. Laura, one of my housemates, pointed out the signs to me.
