We just got an espresso machine through the American Express wishlist. This is where they sell things at an insane discount but only offer a limited number. All the times in the past where I've tried to buy a car or vacation package, the item has sold out in seconds.
This time I won. The funny thing is that the item is something that we had just tried out over thanksgiving at my parent's house. They had just bought one.
We got a Nespresso C100, cup set, and a milk frother. The retail for everything was $354 but we only paid $137. Not a bad deal considering the machine alone is over $200. The milk frother is really cool. It has a mixer that is magnetically activated. It reminds me of the chemistry lab beaker mixers where the beaker sits on a mixing plate and you drop a mixer into the bottom of the beaker. The downside to the system is that you have to purchase these capsules from the manufacturer as no one else makes them for the machine.

I'm having espresso maker envy right now... I totally forgot about the Amex one this year! Did you try the Amazon one? Of course, I wasn't chosen to buy any of those... bummer. Really wanted a 42" Sharp Aquos 1080p for $700. It would have looked nice in our bedroom... OH well, guess I'll just have to go buy the 65" 1.5" thick one for the family room! ;-)
funny, i got the exact same thing from the exact same place! first time ever able to purchase anything from the wishlist, was super excited when i got it. yet to try it out though, can't wait!
