| . For my birthday last year, I ivensted in a good set-up this Technivorm, a burr grinder, a filtered-water pitcher, and good beans from George Howell. And now, I'm in coffee heaven. FOR THE FIRST TIME I can taste those subtleties you read about in coffee reviews by the cognoscenti which I am not one! the caramel, chocolate or floral notes, etc. Yep. I taste them now! I had no idea coffee could be this good. Now, when I go out with hubby, I often skip a restaurant's java even a bistro's fancy schmancy ones cause my coffee at home is tastier and crazy-fresh. I would have howled if you'd told me to spend nearly 300 bucks on a coffeemaker a couple years ago when I had given up on regular brewers and gone over to pod coffee for convenience (Flavia). But I'm glad I spent the moolah. I so look forward to that very first cup, and the other cups of my day. Yum. Love this machine! Even if it's kinda homely and a space-hog on my counter. Even if the bottom plate is not even ATTACHED and easily comes off when moved, even if the lid component seems cheap. Even if the carafe doesn't fit in it's slot with the screw-on lid in place. The coffee is just so good, though (Note: You may want to search online for a better deal. I've seen it for less than this, though not much less, granted, and still with free shipping.)
