I was stunned when I turned to QVC2 this evening and saw a presentation of a $719 coffee maker!  I cannot believe what people will pay.  My Mr.Coffee lasted 30 years and cost about 10 dollars in the 1970s.  I relunctantly moved to Keurig. Even paying $130 for a coffee maker made my skin crawl. I cannot fathom the disposable income some have. It must be nice to afford things that you dont need. I guess they are marketting it toward the millenial set who pays $5-10 for their frothy drinks at lots of bucks !

But @Reever, they give you FREE shipping and handling with it, lol.

I guess this is for the very richest of the QVC clientele.

I have an older version from a few years ago, coffeemaker and espresso.  It was a gift.  It was a gadget, not worth the price, if you know what I mean.  I do hope my children are not reading here. Something for young people who do dinner parties and need a cuppa before driving home and they can talk about it with their friends.. JMHO

 I cringed at paying $499. for the special value Dyson v 11. My v 7 is on a new battery and older and doesn't run as long. I love the cordless and they pick up more dirt than the large ones. The website is selling it for $100 more now so I ordered one on easy pay. 
   I got a coffee maker from QVC years ago that ground fresh coffee, it wasn't expensive then.  It really was good, but a mess and didn't keep it hot,  donated it when I bought the Keurig. I won't buy expensive coffees out and have water with meals when eating out. $2.00 up for tea and coffee adds up!  
  I agree the prices are too  high on many items. But I recall nickel ice cream cones and cokes, also coffee!

I remember touring ny neighbor's newly-built home and seeing a Miele Coffeemaker built into the wall. I so wanted one until I learned it cost a mere $3,000.

It does not justify the price.  My grandmother lived on Folgers for many years. This device appears to be marketed to stuffy types who throw dinner parties. The rest of us are fine with a simple cup.

LOL!!!  It's called CHOICE!  You can buy a Yugo or a Bentley.  Both will get you to McDonalds.

For that value you'd better get 2!
