My mom and dad did the coffee maker deal for $19.99 and said the coffee maker's good, the coffee was good, etc. Did a couple of more shipments of coffee and cancelled, and no problems.
I did the same thing as Akak's parents. I still use the coffee maker. I like it because it's a decanter, so on weekends when I'm not moving real quickly the coffee doesn't continue to cook.
Just make sure you cancel the coffee shipments - they send them automatically, and they're overpriced.
coffee quality is decent, but its expensive and cancelling it sucks, my parents had coffee coming repeatedly for 2 years b/c they couldn't deal with cancelling.
