Our middle kid finished his third year at college and he was home for a week before heading back to work. He has discovered coffee, albeit not on the same level as our bunch of crazies. I dug out my vintage Krups Brewmaster Jr. for him to use and wished him well for the journeys that he will take with this fine machine...made in Germany when there was still an East/West and with the sensual coffee making process written on the box.
