(This Blender Rocks!) 『This Blender is a great buy. It has a lot of power for ice crushing and making smoothies and mix drinks. Also it doubles as a light duty food processor. It looks good on the counter too. Clean up is a breeze and it's dishwasher safe. I have had the Oster blender for about 2 months and so far does a great job.』
(nice blender with minor flaws) 『nice sturdy blender that works better than the Bosch i just threw out. My only complaint is that the plastic base is very very flimsy and care must be taken not to crack it.』
(Very pleased with this purchase) 『Great blender! I can't believe how fast it perfectly and smoothly blended ice for my margarita in less than 5 sec. I got this to replace my older blender that took forever to blend ice and also had a warped lid from the dishwasher. I agree with other reviewers that the plastic parts seem a little cheap, esp the collar at the base of the glass container. I don't think this will be a problem and i plan to hand wash only; the lid seems to be designed better though but don't want to risk damaging it in the dishwasher. Highly recommend this blender!』

Toddy
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The One) 『Over the years I've used nearly a dozen coffee makers, some rather expensive. Two friends who worked at coffee distributor companies recommended this. Cold brew coffee is the only way I've made coffee for the past dozen years, except for rare times when I've run out and brew a cup with a Melitta filter. Best taste, no bitterness, less acid. Making a batch is easy, takes little time and is easy to clean up. Then I have 2 to 3 weeks of "instant coffee" that surpasses all. Here are some of my adaptations: * Filters can be reused much more than 10 times, providing you always: 1) use coarse ground coffee, 2) orient the filter the same way every time you use it, dark side toward the grounds and 3) only rinse the filter in reverse, forcing the grounds out the way they came in. * To use a previously used frozen filter, place in small bowl of water for a minute then it easily fits into the top brewing container. * Use 1 lb (or a bit more) of coarse ground coffee (I prefer Mocha Java with some French Roast&Sumatra) * Place all coffee directly on top of filter, no need for extra filters. Slowly add 4 cups of water. * After 5 (or 10 or 20) minutes, slowly add another 3 cups of water. Take care to wet all grounds on the surface. * After another 10 minutes or so, verly slowly add water to the top, about another 2 cups. * Let it sit overnight. You can make it one morning and finish it the next morning. * Carefully lift the brew container with the handle and remove the stopper. It should drain most of the way in about 15-20 minutes then slow to a drip. I usually then put the brew container on top of a coffee cup and pour the decanter into a glass bottle to save in a refrigerator, then replace the brew container on the decanter and let it finish dripping for another hour or so. Tip it occasionally to get the residual liquid to drain. * If not using the coffee every day, pour liquid in ice cube trays and freeze. * When finished, rinse filter as noted above in reverse direction of coffee flow, then place it in a plastic bag and freeze it. * Enjoy a fine cup of coffee.』
(Happy family) 『Got this for my wife a few months ago and she is very happy with it. Two of my teenagers have also started drinking this coffee (not sure if that is a good thing or not). My wife especially likes proper ice coffee (not the American style where they dump ice into regular coffee - yuck) and this system is perfect for that concoction as well. The apparatus is a bit awkward and bulky but that has not been an impediment so far.』
(coffee great for acid reflux sufferers) 『Any folks suffering from acid reflux who have given up coffee in search of relief, can sure give the Toddy cold brew system a try. The process produces a very concentrated coffee that has none of the acid or oils that traditional heating methods produce. An added bonus: the coffee actually tastes like it smells!』
(I love this thing!) 『The Toddy cold brew "contraption" is pretty cool. The coffee is delicious (I make it a little stronger than their recipe) and my friends enjoy it as well. I like that I don't have to brew coffee in the mornings now. I put some water in the tea kettle and add it to the concentrate. It seems much more economical and is definitely less wasteful for me. I read most of the reviews before I bought it and then waited about 6 months before I used it, it seems cumbersome at first but it's really not. Yes, taking out the plug when your brew is ready requires a steady hand but it's worth it to me. My only challenge is reminding my husband that it's CONCENTRATE, he's poured many full cups without adding water and then wonders why he's got the shakes. Oh, the whole low-acid thing, seems to be true for me. I find that I take a lot more tums during the day when I drink drip coffee...』
(Toddy Brewer) 『I first used the Toddy Brewer about 10 years ago. This replaces the original. Its cold brew process make a great coffee concentrate that has much less acidity than hot brew. This is particularly great for iced coffee, iced coffee drinks or even a quick cup of hot coffee (just add hot water). The container provided will keep the coffee fresh (refrigerated) for up to 4 weeks.』 『"(The Toddy) is the ultimate coffee maker." -The Washington Post Now you can create a 'coffeehouse' coffee - served steaming hot or iced cold, and in the comfort of your home - for much less than expensive signature coffee drinks! As important as those fresh roasted beans are to your cup of coffee, it's what you do with them that counts the most. In 1964, as a chemical engineering graduate of Cornell, Todd Simpson developed and patented a cold brew system that, using regular coffee beans, creates a superior-tasting cup of steaming HOT coffee. And, with 67% LESS ACID than coffee made by conventional hot brew methods, it's easier on sensitive stomachs. The Toddy coffee maker extracts the coffee bean's true delicious flavor and eliminates much of the acidity, producing a bold, super-smooth coffee that can be served one cup at a time. The Toddy brewer is also ideal for making tea - served hot or over ice.

Bialetti
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (not as good as before) 『I've used these for over ten years. The earlier handles were less secure and broke more easily. The newer ones are much stronger and more secure. That's all I can say in their favor. The fabric of the metal seems different, and much flimsier. The water levels they call for with their internal markings are totally different from the old ones. We use this maker to make regular coffee, using 4 level coffee scoops to a full container of water. This change throws the resultant coffee brew way off, and makes me have to try to attempt to adjust at every use. I just like the older version much better.』
(Makes great coffee.) 『This stovetop percolator make great tasting coffee or espresso. The 3-cups are 3 espresso cups, about a shot glass full, not a coffee cup. It is easy to clean and takes up no room which is great for me, I didn't have room for a coffee maker.』

(Too much hype) 『I guess I will be brief with this....
1. Has a plastic handle. Mine broke off in less than a year.
2. It is made of aluminum. Aluminum has been shown to cause alzheimers disease.

(The Bialetti Buzz) 『I always loved dark, strong coffee and I've always been a lazy dish washer. After a trip to Italy in 2005 I started making coffee in a Napoletana coffee maker. I liked it, but it's a pain in the ass to clean, so I bought a Bialetti. WOW !
The coffee from the Napoletana was very strong and every morning I was drinking the equivalent of 5+ espressos. While I was accustomed to strong coffee, for the first time in my life I would feel a caffeine buzz. I switched to the Bialetti and found it easier to clean and faster to brew. I use what I consider high grade coffee, usually French roast from Trader Joe here in LA.
While the word is to never use detergent to clean the thing, I just have to use some occasionally. The thing is bullet proof except for the gasket. If you can buy a couple extra gaskets when you buy the Bialetti, do so. The gaskets are not widely available and last week when my gasket went, I ended up buying a new maker. Problem is that it's another brand and I don't like it as much as the real deal.
Some words of advice: 1. Be sure that you screw the top on correctly so that the thing doesn't leak. It makes an awful scream on the stove when it does. 2. If you are not used to lots of caffeine, be very careful. These things make coffee at least twice as potent as any other breweing method. I acutally overdosed on caffeine and now drink almost exclusively decaf.』 『Aluminum, stovetop espresso maker produces 6 cups of rich, authentic Italian espresso in just 4-5 minutes.』

(Granny Fork Rocks!) 『The Granny fork is the BEST tool to have in your kitchen drawer. Many years ago my Grandmother had a Foley fork (Foley brand no longer exists) which was very much like this Granny fork. My Mom used this fork for a Long time after she inherited from Grandmother. When my Mom passed away I got the Foley fork and used it for a few years as well - unfortunately it was on it's last leg and ready to break so I looked for a replacement. I found this GRANNY FORK!! The Granny Fork is super. New more modern structure is vertually breakless. I bought 3 of them so I have backups if one happens to be in the diswasher or gets lost.

If you want something to help you eat more healthily and that is SO convenient, you should absolutely buy this product........I would give it 10 stars if I could.』
(So great to have a smaller George Foreman grill) 『I have a bigger GF grill, but it is so big and bulky and heavy. I needed a smaller, lighter, easier to clean one. I sure got that with the GR10B. It is great. The size of the grill is big enough for a chicken kebab, or two hamburger patties, and preheats in just a couple of minutes. Because it is only four pounds, I can easily take it down from storage when not in use(which isn't that often), since I do not have a very big kitchen. I made some grilled veggies the other night and they were sooo good!!!』
(Foreman Grill) 『This is the perfect little grill if you cook for one or two people. Nice small size, convenient!』

(Perfect Indoor Grill) 『This is a wonderful grill for making one to two servings of food. It is very easy to operate and is quick to cleanup.

I have spent a small fortune on all kinds of coffee makers over the years. I mean all kinds. Simmply, the Presto Coffee perculator is the best any ones money can buy. I have gone through the all the others in the same catagory and they do not compare. This perculator makes a perfect pot of coffee every time. Delicous, hot, and delivers the most flavor from your coffee. I have spent on different occasions well over $190.00 on coffee makers, especially drip types and in comparision to the Presto, they do not compare. I guess the old time stuff is still the best. I don't mind a few grinds in my coffee. If you do, you can purchase, very inexspensive small round filters, and they work fine. If yopu want a real decent cup of coffee, better then any fine restaurant. Try the Presto. You'll be glasd you did. Excellent, excellent coffee pot.』
(Great coffee pot) 『Of all the different coffee pots I have tried in the last 50 years, I still keep coming back to this one. One of the best.』
(Presto coffe maker 02811) 『I have had this coffee maker for 14 years and it has been great ! The electrical cord died at 9 years and after 14 years the connection in the base finally did the same. It makes better coffee than the drip style. Great old fashioned quality. I just ordered another. Thanks Presto. Good Job』
(Satisfied customer) 『This coffee maker performed exactly as advertised. We are very happy with this purchase. As with many electrical appliances, the cord is too short for my taste. I recognize the fact that this is a safety measure but it is an annoyance.』

This pot makes delicious, hot coffee in a few minutes....the pot is easy to clean, looks good on the counter and puts that wonderful "coffee brewing" smell in the air each morning. We love this pot!』 『Made from luxurious stainless steel. Makes 4 to 12 cups of rich, flavorful coffee automatically; a cup a minute. Signal light tells when coffee is ready to serve. Attractive, traditional styling - ideal for table service.』 『One of the most comforting sounds in the world is the bubbling of a coffee percolator at work. And then comes the toasty aroma--it makes for a perfect morning. Percolators have come back to home kitchens, and the Presto 12-cup stainless steel coffee maker is a prime example. Its elegant, hotel-style design brings a touch of luxury to what is for many a daily pleasure.
This coffee maker brews up to twelve cups of coffee at a cup-a-minute rate, which it then keeps at a constant, piping-hot serving temperature. An indicator light in the base announces when the coffee is ready. The inner fixtures--the filter basket and perk tube--are also made of stainless steel, rather than the more common (and less durable) aluminum. The power cord is removable to make storage simple.
Before cleaning the coffee maker, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Wash the coffee maker with warm, sudsy water and dry it thoroughly; it is not immersible. To preserve the gloss of the stainless steel, do not use steel wool or harsh, abrasive cleansers. The perk spout and filter basket can be cleaned with a brush or pipe cleaner. If necessary, coffee stain remover can be used periodically on the interior surface. The coffee maker measures 10 by 5 by 13 inches (including handle, lid, and spout).

I ordered it. I didn't realize I was getting a coffee pot kit. When it arrived the handle wasn't attached. There weren't even any holes drilled for the screw. This could have worked out OK If I wanted to be different and, say... mount the handle on the side. Then I put the lid on the pot and couldn't get it back off with any amount of force. I stopped short of snapping the plastic top off. I had to pry it off with a screwdriver. Needless to say I'm sending it back for a refund. P. S. I found a great percolator at ACE hardwear, IN THE STORE. It's a Fitx All rapid brew with a glass top. Good quality. Works great. Look around on AMAZON. It's here too, but why bother?』
(Stovetop Percolator) 『I love this product. My coffee always has a full flavor - no weak, watery tasting brew anymore. Very easy to clean. I am relieved I'll never have to buy another electric percolator that has a lifetime of about six months. I recieved the product in three days from JR. Thoroughly satisfied - I wish I had a 12 cup for when I have guests over!!』
(Coffee brewer) 『This product is even better than I hoped. Solid construction, it even looks good on the stove top. The coffee flavor is so much better than coffee made with an expensive electric unit. The only improvement would be the add-on glass top, sold separately.』

Cons: * The plastic top melts * The plastic percolator top ... whoever, the idiot, from the Farberware product development thought of using a plastic top on this boiling hot coffee pot should be whacked across the head ... what an idiot! 』
(The Last One You'll Ever Need to Buy!!) 『Most of the time, the old ways are the best ways. (It's taken me 50+ years to figure this out!) I've bought several electric coffee makers that take up my counter space and only last a year or two, regardless of how much you pay for them. This is one great coffee pot, heavy weight, made well, with classic styling pretty and shiny. It takes about 15 minutes to brew a pot of HOT coffee. Fill up the pot to just below the hole under the spout, get the basket wet BEFORE putting in your grounds (medium-course grind works best) you won't have any grounds in your cup after pouring. Bring the pot to a boil and once it starts to percolate I shut my electric burner off and leave the coffee pot on itto finish brewing. I haven't had any problems with the plastic knob, the handle stays cool. For those who haven't found the cup markings the pot IS MARKED inside and out behind the handle.』 『If you grew up in the 1940's and 1950's, it's more likely you saw a coffee percolator like this one on your parents' stovetop. The origins of the percolator go back to about 1818 in France. Prior to that, coffee was made in vacuum pots or was boiled. By the middle to late 1800's travelers immigrating to the United States from Europe brought these percolators with them. Many of these pots made coffee for families that used wood stoves on their journey westward. This Farberware model follows that classic design but is made of stainless steel. It's easy to use, clean, and maintain. You can expect years of quality service from this coffee maker. Farberware has added a stay-cool handle to help make pouring a lot easier. It truly is a classic refined.』 『Sleek and contemporary, this gleaming percolator brews from four to eight cups of coffee on the stovetop for full, old-fashioned flavor. A permanent filter basket (no messy paper filters needed) provides modern efficiency. The handle is synthetic (to stay cool) and slightly textured, a combination ensuring safe, comfortable pouring. Because the percolator is made of highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, the beauty of its gleaming mirror finish is long-lasting. To fully maintain the finish, the percolator should be hand washed, although the filter basket and glass cap can go into the dishwasher. The percolator stands 8-1/2 inches high on a 6-1/4-inch-diameter base.--Fred Brack』

My last hotel/travel interface with poor quality ground Lavazza pods has resulted in a new addition to my cosmetic bag-- a little Ziplock full of Senseo brand pods, which are decent if not superlative, fairly common in stores, and will accomodate many coffee coffee makers. I thought the last Lavazza incident was just a bad batch, but it's statistically unlikely that it should keep happening every time. If you have had better luck with specific blends, bless you, but I think it's not my crappy Karma, but their crummy coffee. Just my two cents; your mileage may vary. I use coffee to pry open the eyelids and I need to hit the ground running, so the first cup has to be acceptable.

We boil water in an electric pot, then pour it over the ground beans sitting in a cup in a filter. The temp of the water is never more than just boiling, and often slightly below boiling. We carafe up the pot right away and drink it the whole day. It is wonderful coffee on the deck in the morning. Jackie』
(Our Daily Grind) 『My family thrives on its Lavazza intake. The Crema e Aroma beans are prepared in our Jura-Capresso S-9, which stays on most of the day. The flavor is smoother and more full than Illy, which we used before discovering these beans as a result of an Amazon review. The crema is thick, rich and holds up well to the high pressure of the Capresso. While some reviews prefer to use another Lavazza for latte or other milk based drinks, we find that a fine grind and the strong setting on the Capresso result in delicious lattes.
We now take advantage of the subscription shipping to insure we never run out. If we get a little ahead in our supply, our daughter is thrilled to take an extra bag off our hands.
I would give this product an unqualified 5-star rating except for one flaw we have only noticed recently. In each bag there appears to be up to a half a dozen green coffee beans. When accidentally ground with the beans even one of these contaminating little nasty things will ruin an entire pot of coffee or destroy a cup of cappuccino with their awful taste. As a result, I now sort through the beans before putting them in airtight storage for daily use.
Aside from that one flaw, this is a fantastic product at a reasonable price, especially if you take the discounted subscription shipping.』 『A premium coffee that blends the best Arabica beans from Central and South America with Select Robustas from Africa, creating a strong, full-flavored coffee with a thick crema.』

(A drink that smiles back...) 『These ice cube trays are fantastic and are fun for just about anyone.
A couple of things you need to know about them.
One. They are somewhat of a pain to fill with water and put into the freezer because the silicone flexes. Two. Trying to get the ice out can also be a pain because of the detail of these ice cube trays. Sometimes they just don't want to come out. Three. The first few ice cubes made will have a slight silicone taste to them.
Other then that these are great to have in your freezer all the time. For when company comes over and you slip some in their drink or just for you and your kids to enjoy.
Pros: Produces fairly large ice cubes so you don't need a lot of them for a single drink. When removed from the mold, looks like perfectly formed teeth. Pretty cheap.
Cons: If using for a party, will require multiple trays to get a fair amount of ice made. Wobbly silicone makes it hard to fill up and place in the freezer, might consider getting a small cookie tray to place them on to make things easier.』
