Wow, no wonder you couldn't say no.  Let me know how it holds up after a good road test.  Might have to get one myself for our travels...that Tundra ski wagon has lotsa room for that kind of thing.   ;D ;D ;D

Say, have you ever had good (I mean REALLY good) coffee out of one of those superautomatics? Jura, Saeco, and their ilk...? The tax man allows one new coffee machine every year, and our business needs another coffee machine.  ;)  A superauto would be just the thing for a dinner party or a quick shot on the run.  Trouble is, all the shots I've tasted, even from $4500 Jura's set to their strongest, hottest brew, were still worse than what I get from my $20, 25 year-old Bialetti.  If they're all that bad, I'd never turn it on.  Saeco, though, seems to be the exception -- the coffee I had out of one of theirs was at least hot, and had some punch behind it.
