Gevalia CM-500 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker

The Gevalia Coffee Maker, the 12 Cup CM-500 is a decent coffee maker, with all the main functions you'll need in a good coffee maker. However, you'll have to become part of the Gevalia family to get the special deal on the coffee maker, unless buying from a seller that already is a member and is passing on JUST the coffee maker to you. In that case, you can't go wrong if the price is around $15.00 or less. I priced several coffee makers at a large discount store, all with the same or similar features. Since Gevalia requires that you become a member, at least in the beginning with 2 packs of coffee, the maker can end up costing more than you think. I bought into the free coffee maker from an ad in a magazine and promptly got my coffee maker and my 2 packs of coffee beans. The quality of the coffee was "Good", not "Excellent" and not "Poor", but average in the scale of the many coffee brands out there. Enjoy your new coffee maker, if you have one, but steer away from the free coffee maker unless you seriously want to get involved with a coffee club. You can cancel at any time, but forgetting to call them or write them will cause coffee to be sent to you on a very regular basis! Enjoy!
