We were talking about our crummy coffee maker on a trip this weekend.
When my wife and I bought our current house 25+ years ago, the market was in the dumper and we decided to hang onto our old house until things picked up again. Making two mortgage payments was a killer and I had joked to my sister in-law that I couldn't ever go to Starbucks again. She felt bad for me and gave me a $20 Starbucks gift card for Christmas. I really don't even like Starbucks, so instead of using the card for four overpriced cups of coffee, I used it to buy one of their store branded coffee makers for $19 plus tax.
The coffee maker was pretty bad then, and it's even worse now. I've bought a nice one for home, but I've kept the old one in the RV for years as a trophy to celebrate never going back to Starbucks.
Oh and the coffee maker came with a coupon, so I got a free cup of coffee from them on my way out the door.
