My husband, however, has a $700 machine which, every morning, makes the loudest cup of coffee in the world. Yes, the whole world.<BR/><BR/> I think more than anything I'm just too cheap to buy shop-made coffee. It bothers me to hand over a fiver and not get most of it back. I'd rather drink the muck.
