My coffeemaker is on its way out. 
If you read my Twitter tweets (and you HAVE been reading them right???), you may have noticed that I complained that my coffee tasted like cardboard. I thought it was the brand of coffee, but now I am wondering if it is the coffeemaker. I’ve washed it out with vinegar and have tried another blend of coffee, but it still feels like I am swallowing liquified cardboard with cream and sugar. Bleeechhh!
My coffeemaker is a little *cough* old, yeah. I got it free, years ago, from Gevalia. You know- Gevalia sends you a junk mail flyer saying you can have their coffeemaker if you buy 2lbs of their coffee… wasn’t too bad a deal. But the clock on the coffeemaker is starting to act weird, and the coffeemaker “on” button clicks on and off when I run the can opener at the same time. And of course the coffee tastes like… you know…
So…. I’m shopping around for another coffeemaker. Anyone have any suggestions? I’ve seen a very nice (and affordable) model at Buy.com (my favorite store). It’s a Black & Decker 12-cup and it looks really nice- pretty red! And it’s only $24 bucks with free shipping, too! There are loads of other good-looking coffeemakers there… decisions, decisions…
In case you are in the market for a coffeemaker, or a computer, or an mp3 player, or even vacuum cleaner filters and belts- check out Buy.com. I am always combing through their weekly sale website. I have found quite a number of fabulous deals there! Let me know what coffeemaker you have found, I’m looking for opinions.

I know that this is not a cheap coffee maker but if you love coffee like I do, you would love it as much as I do. I have never spent much on coffee makers so James bought me this one as a Mother’s Day gift last year. I fell in love with it right away. It is the DeLonghi Caffe Nabucco Espresso, Cappuccino, and Coffee Bar and costs about $80. I know what you are thinking but it does also make Espresso and Cappuccino so it saves money that I would be spending at a coffee shop. It is a wonderful relaxing luxury that I can have anytime I want. I loved it so much that I blogged about it back then.

My suggestion isn’t cheap either… I just about died when my husband insisted on buying me a Bunn one Valentines Day at the cost of $100… but I absolutely love it! My coffee is done in 2 minutes! Now I’m spoiled… I don’t like to wait for a cup of coffee… especially in the mornings…. and now I don’t have to. It’s definitely worth the money!
