Only one complaint: the cord is 27". I guess that would be an advantage if you happen to have an outlet in the right place. As for the cleaning difficulties that some people complained about, a damp paper towel does the job.』
(Pretty good for the price) 『This coffee grinder is small, convenient, and, most importantly, inexpensive.
However, it does not grind very evenly and although I clean it fairly regularly per instructions, it produces an odd smell, almost like burning coffee.
I would recommend it to individuals just starting to grind their own coffee or looking for convenient travel-sized units (it does require an outlet, however), but not to more experienced coffee drinkers or those looking for high quality.』
(A very quiet and efficient coffe grinder) 『My husband likes freshly ground coffee every morning...at 5:00 when I'm still asleep. I hated his last one because I could hear it thru a closed door...upstairs. The Krups is very quiet and does a quick job.』
(Great Spice Grinder) 『I bought this for grinding spices. The price is good, with free shipping, and the grinding compartment seems superior to my old Cuisinart. With my old grinder, the mostly plastic blade disintegrated after limited use. Nothing worse then ground plastic in your food. As with every grinder I've used, for coffee or spices, there's a static buildup and the grounds prefer to stay in the grounds compartment. Not really sure how to prevent that. A paint brush type of tool helps to remove all of the contents, but some do tend to remain. As such, I would not use a grinder for both spices and coffee. The blade seems to be mostly metal, which hopefully translates to an extended blade life.』
(Glad I Bought This Instead Of An Expensive Grinder!) 『I was very close to buying one of those expensive grinders but I chose to give this one a try first. This gives my coffee beans a perfect grind. The grinds look just like what you expect from one of those pricey professional grinders. No difference at all! At $20 this was a steal!』 『Powerful electric coffee grinder grinds beans for fresh coffee quickly at home.
Powerful motor grinds beans from coarse to fine in seconds
Large grinding capacity grinds beans for up to 15 cups of coffee
Stainless steel power blade for ideal grinding performance
Versatile unit grinds all kinds of dry spices (cinnamon, pepper, coriander, etc.)

『Nothing beats a freshly ground, freshly brewed cuppa joe to start the day, and with this grinder, you can have up to 20 cups' worth of beans at a time. The understated black color and contemporary oval design fit in well with any kitchen décor, while the small size (just 6 inches high) doesn't take up too much premium counter space.

Cuisinart
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Baffled by bad reviews) 『We love our coffee maker. This model is rated VERY highly by Consumer Reports, which was enough to convince me to spend the dough for it. No problems, easy to use, always reliable. And the coffee is hot and delicious. It does take time to adjust to this machine. For example, if you follow their recommendations for the amount of coffee, it can come out a little weak. So, you know, just add more coffee. If you think the beeping is too loud, or you don't like the auto shut-off, then you can turn that stuff off. Most of the complaints I've seen from other reviewers are simple to fix, non-problems.... IF you read the instructions. Seems lots of folks with rage issues are hatin' on this coffee maker. My advice to them is as follows: --read the manual --learn some yoga. This is a great little machine, and I wouldn't have any other. If you're not a sociopath and you are willing to take an hour out of your day to learn how to have great coffee for the next five to ten years of your life, you'll be thrilled with this machine.』
(Cuisanart Coffee Maker) 『Well designed, sturdily made, easy operation....a perfect replacement to our old machine that died a natural death.』
(In the End, It's About the Coffee) 『This machine replaced a still perfectly functional Black and Decker Smart Brew Plus, in its day a Consumer Reports best buy. The Cuisinart was top rated by the magazine in its December 2009 issue.
The Black and Decker makes a decent cup of coffee, and is easy to work with. With an easy to use carafe, an exterior water level indicator, and very intuitive controls, it was a pleasure to work with.
By comparison, the Cusinart has its problems. Water level can be eyeballed if you look over the top and toward the back of the machine. Below 8 cups the indicators fade away into darkness. The Black and Decker machine and carafe has indicators that took coffee absorption into account, the Cuisinart doesn't.
Both are programmable, but the Cuisinart adds hot plate temperature controls (you want medium, unless you add lots of cold milk), and a small brew feature. The Black and Decker turns its plate off after two hours, the Cuisinart's is programmable. The Black and Decker has an easy to read clock; the Cuisinart's requires squinting. The Black and Decker is cheap; the Cuisinart isn't.
In the end, the Cuisinart makes a better cup of coffee. In small batches, the Cuisinart makes a much better cup of coffee. I've used a lot of coffee makers over the years from Braun, Krups, Mr. Coffee and the aforementioned Black and Decker, and none matched the brew this unit produces. In the end, I'll put up with a few quirks for a good cup of french roast.
One final note: I compared the two units by using the Black and Decker carafe to measure water. Cuisinart uses a smaller cup size definition than Black and Decker, but with equal amounts of water, the Cuisinart still produced a stronger, smoother brew. I suspect it heats the water hotter.』
(Makes great tasting coffee) 『Bought this for my wife and she loves it. I chose this coffe machine because it is highly rated. We have been using it daily for several months and it makes great tasting coffee. A little more effort to clean than using disposable filters, but after getting used to it we don't mind at all. Using the wire mesh filter is better for the environment and it makes the coffee taste better(paper filters absorb oils from the coffee). We leave the top open for a few hours after use to let it dry. The clock and program brew options are nice to have, as well as the carbon, though not critical. The only downside is when filling the tank, it is a little tough to see how much water you are putting in. You have to look down from the top of the maker and if there is not enough light, it's very tough to tell how much water you put in. If it had a side indicator of water level that would be more conevnient. That is why I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars.』
(Works good untill it fails) 『Have had two units fail in less than a year each. When the three year warrantee expires will not waste money again on this product. It does work well when it is working,though.』 『
Classic Stainless Design:Brushed stainless steel housing with metal accents complements any style kitchen.
Optimum Flavor: A charcoal water filter helps produce great tasting coffee by removing impurities.
Superior Operation: An indicator light signals when its time to clean your coffeemaker. Simply add the vinegar and water solution and your coffeemaker cycles it through to remove calcium buildup.
Custom Heat Control: Adjust the heater plate to one of three settings to control the after brewing temperature of your coffee.
Express Coffee: The Brew Pause feature lets you pour a cup of coffee before brewing has finished.
Consistent Taste: The 1-4 cup setting allows you to brew only a cup or two without altering the flavor of the brew.
Fully Programmable: The user-friendly digital clock offers freshly brewed coffee, day or night.
It also has a programmable auto shutoff for worry-free use.

『Strikingly retro in brushed stainless-steel with black-plastic accents, this 12-cup coffeemaker includes Cuisinart's best brewing technology and premium features for ease and flexibility. The digital clock/timer is programmable for automatically brewing "wake-up" coffee at a selected time and for turning off the warming plate up to four hours in advance. Removing the glass carafe from the warming plate automatically pauses the brewing process for a quick pour, and the warming plate's temperature can be adjusted. For maximum flavor, the machine can be set to brew one to four 5-ounce cups or five to twelve cups, and it includes a charcoal water filter. For convenience, a permanent Gold Tone filter eliminates messy paper filters and an indicator-light shows when decalcification is needed. The coffeemaker measures 14-1/4 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 10-3/4 inches deep (including carafe handle) and carries a three-year warranty against defects.--Fred Brack』

What I am really upset about is the size of the bowls, I have an Impressions set and if you look at the specs on that it says it has the same size bowls. But they are not. I can't even pour 16 oz in these. And if it was not described as the same size as the ones I have I would not have expected it.
I don't know how this will hold up because I just checked the box to make sure that nothing was broken in shipping and sealed it back up. I love my Corelle and have had it for years, I expect this will be the same.』
(I love the dishes, but the pattern is VERY dull.) 『The dishes are fantastic. Light weight, easy to clean, stack nicely on the shelf. Having arthritis makes weight of the dishes an issue, especially more than of them at a time.
I miss the mugs that came with my mother's set. I preferred them made of the same material as the plates. The mugs can be a bit heavy, though the blue is pretty.
However, the pattern on the plates is NOT as pictured. I have several sets of this and hoped I'd just get used to it, since I lost the receipt. It's very dull and faded, and the gaps between the color blocks look bigger.』
(Corelle Memphis dinnerware) 『This is a beautiful set! Only complaint that there is not salad plates instead of bread and butter plates. Not much use for this small plate. The price was excellent!』
(Perfect for our beach house) 『Best dinnerware for our beach house. We have been using them for a year now and r still wowed. We have grandkids so we wanted dinnerware that would not shatter easily or chip. I bought enough for 12 place settings and these do not take up lots of room in the cabinet or dishwasher unlike other dinnerware. The dinnerware has been washed in the dishwasher too many times to count and come out looking fantastic. I've seen no fading that I can tell. I got dinner plates, bowls, salad plates, bread and butter plates and the 12 cups that come with them. I really didn't need all the cups but I'm glad I have them. The colors around the trim go beautifully with other colors in my decor and is cheerful.
The size of the bread/butter plate and salad plate is so useful for sandwiches, snacks, deserts and our young 2,3 year old grand children to use as a plate. The price I paid for these dishes was wonderful and I couldn't have selected any other dishes that I would have enjoyed more or are more useful. The pattern one chooses is a personal thing, but the quality is for everyone.
We are getting ready to purchase another beach house to be used for rental property and these same dishes will be bought for that one. Just can't go wrong.』
(Great investment) 『We were using lots a paper products for the convenience. Also, because of small kids we were worried about breakage etc. Since getting these, paper products are a rarity. The plates, bowls and cups are light and durable. One child has already "tested" the plates to make sure they don't break. Great investment. I remembered when the Corelle products first came out.

(Product Great, Amazon Not so Great) 『I have shopped at Amazon before with no problems whatsoever, not this time though.
I ordered 2 sets and I am happy with them, they are very cute. I also ordered the matching spoon rest - don't bother. It is very cheap looking and nothing I want in my kitchen. Unfortunately, each set came with a broken dish (actually, not broken but shattered) howerver; the stoneware mugs which are supposed to be more breakable were all in one piece, go figure. I called Livingware directly and they are sending me replacements with no problem. Yea, for that. I'm not happy with Amazon right now. Two days after I placed my order the sets were reduced in price by $5.00 each. That would have saved me a total of $10.00. When I requested a credit on my account Amazon refused. So I guess I will cancel my Amazon credit card and do my shopping elsewhere where they appreciate their customers. Not a happy campre at this point.』
(excellent everyday dinnerware) 『I first purchased Corelle dinnerware in the 70's and was very pleased with it but got tired of the avocado green flower pattern after 25 years. I gave away the old set of Corelle and replaced it with Pfaltzgraff, which unfortunately is much heavier and has been much more prone to chip, break, and show scratches. So I decided to return to Corelle. I really like the look of this pattern, and although I was concerned about breakage during shipping and handling, I decided to order them from Amazon, based on the positive reviews and the assurance that Amazon and/or Corelle would replace any damaged pieces. I ordered one set with the blue mugs and two sets with the matching glasses; the order was placed on a Monday with free super saver shipping, and I had the sets by that Wednesday! They arrived in perfect condition. I am very excited to start using them; they are much lighter to handle, which is especially a plus for children and the elderly, and they fit much more easily into the dishwasher and the cabinets.
