When our piece of crap coffee machine did me the favor of dying thus i could toss it, your first thing I did so was send in small card to Gevalia for the special deal where a person receive this free 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker (CM-500W) for trying their coffee. Not one to be able to go without coffee every morning and thinking this card lost in the mail somewhere, I went out and bought the Brew Station. As luck would have it, this Gevalia package arrived a couple of weeks further.
