    Many many moons ago, I was in highschool and somehow got my hands on a Gevalia coffee catalog. They were offering a free coffee maker with a subscription of coffee. The first coffee shipment of the subscription was free (along with the coffee maker), you just had to pay shipping. And you could cancel any time. So I ordered the subscription, got my two bags of coffee and a coffee maker for about $10 in shipping charges, then immediately canceled.

    I don’t remember much about the coffee, but that dang coffee maker followed me through high school, college, and a good decade beyond that. It wasn’t particularly great, just a regular drip coffee maker, but it lasted forever. I’ll never forget that thing.
