I just pulled the trigger on the KA Proline Espresso machine in the HGL - what a great deal! Out of curiosity, what kind of kickback does CG get from Amazon? I don't mean this in a negative sense ("kickback" has such bad connotations) - I'm just hoping that some of what I spent will go to support the site or Coffee Kids.

Amazon's affiliate scheme is constantly confusing - it goes up and down depending on how many total things are sold in a quarter, plus, the percentages they pimp (5-7%) often aren't the percentages you actually see on the items (sometimes as low as 2%, and big ticked items are capped at a max amount).
On a KA Grinder, it's usually something like $3 or $4.
