Oh well. It's good for my bank account that I don't like everything they put up for sale. It would be a shame to have a bunch of good crap and no where to live.
I don't get it? Why would I want to buy an expensive kitchen appliance that's been used already? That's not the kind of purchase people make on the Internet, I think. I do buy refurbished electronics, and this really isn't much different, but somehow, I don't like to buy used items in the food prep category.
I picked up another Saeco espresso maker form (cough) the other guys about 3 or 4 years ago. It was refurbished and flawless. I highly recommend Saeco and Seattle Coffee Gear - they stood behind the product when I had questions, and that's all I had - questions, no hassles.
Yeah, someone else used it before I got to it. It ground coffee beans for them and then forced boiling water through the ground beans. Pretty tame, really. It's not like this is a used sex toy for crying out loud.
Finally got a shipping notification from FedEx on this. 7 days after it was ordered (8 if you count the day of). Not Thursday, like the first time they were shipped or Friday with the alleged missed units. I realize the site's new with growing pains, but I've got to say the handling of this order isn't meh, it's just plain bad.
Mine finally arrived today. Shipped from Seattle Coffee Gear. It is giving me a warning that it needs to be decalcified and I haven't even used it yet. Disappointed is an understatement. Meh.
@texquill OOPS - I watched the Seattle Coffee Co. UTube on Saeco warning lights and found out that all I had to do was turn a knob to make the thing work again - so we’re back in business. This really was an outstanding deal.

There it is. It got stuck in the coffee filter
Nice!

Hopefully eventually, Don't think Matt wants 5 of these in every room of his mansion. :'|
I totally want one, if only I didn't agree to be paid in pork belly! CURSE YOU @Ryaneil!
You mean @snapster doesn't live in a giant taco?
@JonT it sounds better than the tin cans and garbage diet this goats on.
Coffee snobs seem to like it. Also a good price for a refurb.
Oh well. It's good for my bank account that I don't like everything they put up for sale. It would be a shame to have a bunch of good crap and no where to live.
Yeah but you'd have the best crap of any of the homeless in your neighborhood. :'|
Meh.
we have a button for that.
Meh, Meh.
Guess 1 sale isn't enough to change the map?? Looked all over and all counties are still orange. :'|
It's in Massachusetts
Also see one in Maryland. :'|
It looks like it was delayed and @capguncowboy geography is a bit off
yeah it's maryland. others are in a really tiny county in CA so you can't see it.
@dschonew Your geography is off... lol, I looked at it and thought "Maryland!" and then typed Mass... Oh well. You got in the neighborhood

First to meh (a real meh, as in purchase.)
meh
I mean, they appear to be 700 on amazon, I guess if you're a cup a day drinker this thing should pay for itself in a year.
Chris and I were just discussing the same thing. Leela-meh!
Yeah!
That "drink coffee" sign in the background -- we have, I think, 4 of those in the break room.
One of them has googly eyes. I read that one differently.
My first meh. Great price for a superautomatic and the bypass is a nice bonus. It'll definitely make my morning routine quicker.
Mine too. I've been wanting an espresso machine for awhile. When I saw it and read the reviews I couldn't say no.
http://shirt.woot.com/offers/not-so-action-packed Off topic, but the Shirt of the day is relevant.
I just keep clicking "meh" to see what the next face will be... :)
Once I click, I can click no more.
I wonder how many of these we'll be able to do
2 days in a row meh.
Too pricey for me. I'm waiting for MEH's 1st "agbay of apcray"!
Itway uzway onway ickstarterkay. oryay atelay.

I would never buy a used mattress (people do that! astonishing), but I would buy a used coffee maker.
I'd guess these things are more or less autoclaved before being repackaged for sale.
They're sort of semi-autoclaved every time they're used. My current machine says to clean it every 300 shots, except for the steaming wand.
I remember seeing a video that showed the hardcore washing that refurb coffeemakers get. Cleaner than anything in your kitchen or mine.
I buy used underwear on "the Internet." It saves time having them already broken-in.
Suck me in with the idea to have my own coffee shop in my house and scared me away by the idea of serving people who haven't had or need their coffee.

"It's not like this is a used sex toy for crying out loud."
Wait, what? How do I cancel my order?
Hey, once we sell it to you it's up to you to decide what to do with it.
Sure, it's not a sex toy, but I bet that boiling hot water will do wonders for herpes
You mean that spout doesn't go in my....and that sprayer doesn't....we'll, I'm dissappointed. At least it makes me a drink afterward?
@RedHot Heh. See the winner of this thread: https://meh.com/forum/topics/fuck-up-a-write-up#53bdbcb65b8c44bc05095fd9
a very meh item. My suggestion is getting cheaper items people are willing to impulse buy or items everyone can use/like
Impulse buy is a relative term. I would rather get $400 off an espresso machine that buy $10 junk I will probably never use.
Anyone get the machine or a shipping notification yet? I'm excited and impatient.
that's entirely the wrong attitude
FAQ said, live your life for the next two weeks and it will show up. With that said... FAQ that sh*t. where is mine!!!?? LOL.

Ehhhh... One business week to ship a very nice discounted barista-replacement seems reasonable to me. If it arrives broken, then get upset.
@curtise Meh, I disagree. FAQ says 2-3 days plus two posts claiming they'd shipped. Fact is it lost them 3 TV sales (me and 2 coworkers)
Also, don't misunderstand. I still like the site, just disappointed in how this item was handled. Not that it matters in the end.
thanks for the report. sub-meh sounds right. hopefully the rest of your experience reverts to the mean
we will work to marginally improve
Sorry about that, @cblack. We had a few sneaky orders that didn't get tracking uploaded. We're working out the bugs between naps (maybe).
Mine finally arrived today. Shipped from Seattle Coffee Gear.
It is giving me a warning that it needs to be decalcified and I haven't even used it yet. Disappointed is an understatement. Meh.
@angelicboris Have you written to halp@meh.com? Or is there a number in the box for support? Also, https://meh.com/support .
It took 4 1/2 years of daily use to bite the dust. This was a GREAT deal!
