This has made things much better. It's worthwhile looking at the persons rating, but I have not had any trouble to date (knock on wood) buying gift cards with about 50 ebay transactions.

I am thinking of buying some Home Depot cards for a discount in order to buy new appliances. However, I'm a little worried about doing this.

The french press really does give the coffee a nice consitency, better than office coffee. And, its MUCH cheaper than Fourbucks. Hope somebody tries this and likes it.

If I didn't do this, my caffeine fix would be costing me at least an additional $60 a month. I treat myself to one Starbucks latte a week (today was my lucky day) and the rest of the week is office coffee. It's nothing special but it's passable and it gets the job done!
