That’s crazy. Here’s a great video that gave me the urge to comment that they shouldn’t fail.

How did it fail? Did the heat element stop, or was it a leak?

It was a leak.

Now that’s just inexcusable. The CPVC plumbing in my 30 year old home is so brittle that I can almost break it by hand, but it doesn’t leak everywhere as long as I don’t go touching it. Even cheap-ass plumbing in a coffee maker should just hold. You’re probably not moving the coffee maker all that much.
