I have been watching the Made In America story on the nightly news.  They removed anything and everything from this families house that wasn't American made.  Then, the searched to find replacement items that were made here.

There were some "I didn't know that" moments for me.  Like Viking Appliances.  I was unaware that they were made here. 

Unfortunately, they were unable to find a coffee maker made in the States.  Nor a TV, I believe.

Anyone else watched it?

What about BUNN coffee makers?  Perhaps the home models are manufactured in China.  I plan to get one, because a BUNN coffee maker makes coffee that is better, not bitter!

They had very strict guidelines that had to be followed in order to qualify for MIA approval.  For example, the Keurig, they were told, was made in America.  However, after digging a little deeper into the manuafacturing process, it proved to be a false claim.  They didn't say specifically what failed the Keurig just that it didn't qualify.

Bunn - I believe the Bunn coffee makers are an American owned company, but much of the manufacturing is outside of the states.  It isn't enough that the product is assembled in the States, apparently.

It was a pretty interesting story.

True.  It was good to find out the Viking and SZ are made in the USA.  However, that SZ fridge was 8.6K.  Far beyond the reach of most Americans.
