I have yet to buy a coffee maker. Years ago I got started on the auto-delivery with Gevalia which gave me my 1st coffee maker. Used it for years till my mother broke it. Don't aske me how as I'm still clueless on that one. Anyone between times I had quit getting my coffee thru them and then got an email to start up again with an offer for a new coffee maker. Well I decided to go for it so I'm now using the newest coffee maker but have again stopped getting their coffee as they discontinued most of the flavors I liked and then changed the packaging plus I can get their coffee at my local grocery store too. I had quite a stock pile of their coffee so I'm good for probably a year anyway. I've cut myself down to 1 cup a day then I switch to vinegar water as someone said that was good for me. Took a bit to get used to the flavor but now its okay.
