In the flash of an instant, I have abandoned all my sensibilities in favor of the complete opposite to what is typical.
I hit the "buy" button.
It's on the way and I CAN'T WAIT!
It's the BrewStation and I have never, ever been excited about an appliance! My traditional M.O. on coffee makers has been a basic $10 drip style that I just replaced every 18 months or so. My justification was that for the cost of one fancy machine, I had 10-15 years of new, clean, functioning coffee makers.
I have fallen into the ranks of those who answer to the marketing machine!

Woe is me! But, YAY! I'M SO PSYCHED!!!! It won't be here for several days, so I want to talk about it with you all nonstop until it comes.
