I'm the one that said I'd just get the lance larkin in-wall.. because I work from home and drink nearly 2 pots of coffee a day (who am I kidding? it's almost 3 pots).

I also have a very nice espresso machine that is not a super-automatic, but I still love it. I'm a sucker for a doubleshot of espresso late at night when I'm working.

Soooo... we're getting ready for a major kitchen remodel FINALLY... and were in an appliance store. I've been drooling over a Miele coffee system for YEARS.. but could not even contemplate spending 3 grand on a coffee maker.

The manager there made me an incredible deal on the store's display model so that he can put in the new plumbed system to display. I couldn't turn it down so I actually GET the miele in-wall now at half the price with the new-purchase warranty. I'm sooooo excited! My coffee-dream come true.. lol

gahh I need to find something to be more excited over than a coffee system.
