Deal of the Century

In 2002 I came across a Krupps II Primo espresso maker at a garage sale for $25.00. Here is an autopsy"

A rough estimate of the savings, disregarding the time value of money:
$2.75 for a jackuccino breve; 5 days a week; 52 weeks a year; 90% of the time
$643/year
less materials: coffee--about 1 bag a month  $9.00; Cream--- about $2.99/week
($263)

That comes to about $380 avoided each year for my coffee affection.
