Re:Toshiba My Cafe - Missing Mystery Piece - 2007/03/16 19:46
I believe the reason that some of the Toshiba company's products were embargoed was that the Japanese sold the "silent propeller" submarine technology to the Russians in the early 1980's. Some battery-powered hand tools were also caught up in that Reagan Administration reaction.
A My Café sold on eBay this week (March 2007) for $212.75 (plus shipping).
As recently as 1997, I sent mine for repair to All Tech Electronics in Totowa, NJ. I have no idea whether they repaired it there or sent it back to Japan; or if they are still around.
And the ultimate My Café trivia....if you look fast on the kitchen counter in "The Big Chill," I'm pretty sure that the My Café is there.

Have a Toshiba My Cafe for sale (missing a part) - 2007/04/15 18:59
I have a Toshiba My Cafe Grind & Drip Coffeemaker that worked wonderfully until my mother who is now visiting soaked the grinder/basket is ridiculously hot water overnight and it melted the glue? because it came apart! So now i am willing to sell my beloved remaining functional coffeemaker and carafe to someone who needs it.

Re:Toshiba Parts HCD-1200ea - 2007/07/14 20:30
I have a hcd-1200ea My Cafe which is about 21 years old and still works fine. It has one small problem where if left on for a while it builds up enough condensation around the electrical wire to trip the earth leakage switch in our house.If anyone knows of a fix for this problem it would be helpful. Other than the small problem we can still make a nice starbucks brew, we live in Australia and miss the nice Canadian coffee.

What is your definition of "a while" --
It should take 6 to 10 minutes.

Re:Toshiba Parts HCD-850 - 2007/10/28 17:03
Colin,
Please inform your contributors that I have a used Toshiba My Cafe with a new brew basket, new carafe, good lid, and a serviceable filter. The unit itself is in very good condition, but has an electrical problem with the lid interlock switch -- which I gather is somewhat common from reading the preceding comments. It is not a difficult repair, but I have chosen to look elsewhere for a replacement coffee maker. I will be glad to send the entire unit and the spare parts to whoever is willing to pay shipping costs for the lot. Interested parties can reach me at: jlogan@austinreview.com. Thanks, James.
colin here: you just informed them.

New in box... never used... almost too good to be true. Yea. Put it on Ebay and then let us know where it is.
