I used the Gevalia coffee maker for four years at least twice a day and sometimes three times daily.  I used the Gevalia coffee for a while but then switched and used most any brand on sale.  I found the quality of the coffee...the taste, the aroma, and the strength to be consistent.  The coffee maker itself is very attractive and adds to your kitchen decor.  After fours years of service it did bite the dust but I felt that I had paid a high price for coffee makers that did not last as long and were not a consistent in their quality and this one is FREE.
