For all those coffee enthusiasts out there, this year you'll want to remember April 15th not just because it's tax day. The company illy is offering a deal on their brand new espresso machine. After June 30th, it will cost approximately $695. If you purchase this new machine before June 30th, you'll just pay $150.

They are advertising the offer as a "stimulus package that will give back for years to come." After purchasing the iperEspresso machine you can enroll in their automatic coffee delivery program. Illy affirms that their new iperEspresso machine makes an "extraordinarily smooth and full-bodied" coffee.

While I would hardly claim to be a coffee expert, I must admit that I'm a huge fan of illy's coffee. In a recent post from Bruce Watson, he admits that illy's coffee is close to perfect. So, luckily this year when tax day comes around, we'll have something else to distract us and look forward to.

Hi. This isn't as good as you think. First the machine uses,"exclusively," Illy's fairly pricey espresso pods (you cannot use regular ground espresso), and second, you commit to ordering more coffee from them on a regular basis. They often offer machines this way, so figure 12.50 handling charge (they mention this), sales tax, plus the price of the first shipment of pods. You are free to stop home delivery of the capsules/pods after this, but you are going to have to buy them somewhere.
