Best Coffee Makers for Retail

i never would have known that it was "refurbished" by the packaging or the actual item itself - and loved saving almost half the regular retail price!

easy directions, works great, looks grea, makes excellent coffee and less than half what i would have paid at a major coffee retailer.

i told them that i paid about half of what i saw it for at a local retailer.

my daughter paid $90.00 more for the same model from a retailer.

also, for amazon: i had to buy my b50 through another on-line retailer since amazon does not ship certain items to apo addresses (too bad!)

cons: no k-cups in retail stores, large "footprint" on counter, only two serving size selections.

online there are many retailers where you can buy boxes of 25-100 kcups for less than $.50 ea.

other thoughts: purchased this from newegg for a great price vis a vis other retailers and other brands/models; they were able to get it to me the very next day (their warehouse must be close by).

on top of everything else, the zojirushi sells for about half to two-thirds the suggested retail price of the other brands.

i bought two of these based on a high rating from another retailer.

about a half of the retail stores in price.

love the half-off-retail-price even more.

this was actually a replacment for the same model we purchased at retail over 4 years ago.

after reading the reviews on amazon, i purchased this coffeemaker from a local retailer, as i was concerned about having to return it.
