Oh, I assure you they could design and build good shit if they wanted. Most things are designed like shit and then built to a price point.

They do design and build good shit, but with the prevalence of cheap options buying small kitchen appliances isn't seen as a major purchase anymore.

But, there were absolutely garbage products in the old days. The whole, "they don't build them like they used to," bit is based on survivorship bias.

If you want to pay $500+ for a coffee maker that will last decades, you can absolutely still do so.
