Question: What has the reviewer stored in the containers for weeks without it going bad?

I am SO completely hooked on Lock & Lock containers. Fruit and veggies seem to last forever. I have stored strawberries for weeks without them molding or going bad. Leftovers stay fresh longer. Foods don't dry out or get moldy. I find way fewer "science experiments" in the back of the refrigerator! ;o) Pasta, rice, cereals, crackers and cookies just don't get stale. The containers don't stain and stack really well in the pantry or fridge. (For best results, don't forget to press hard on the center of the lid to create some vacuum before snapping the last lock closed.)

Question: Unfortunately wheatgrass juicers that are the correct speed tend to have what two problems?

I went into major "resarch mode" when looking for a wheat grass juicer. I discovered that other juicers shouldn't be used for wheat grass because their fast speed made for doing other juices means that oxygen enters the wheat grass which breaks down the very properties you drink wheat grass for.but other wheat grass juicers that were the right speed could not do other thigns or other juicers, or cost an arm and a leg as a professional juicer.This was suggested to me by a restaurant that does wheatgrass and, I concur, it's a real winner. I have made pasta with it and fruit juice too and it's a fun machine...but whereas other juicers broke down the wheatgrass so it lost its potency, this gives me the same quality of that I used to purchase at a juicer place, for way less in the long run.We grow wheat grass in a long canister that's gorgeous on the center of our table and just clip it as needed.better than any energy drink on the planet and no additives or preservaties and this one does it so it works!

Question: How long until the rechargeable batteries stopped being functional on the older rechargeable fans?

I am in desperate need of long lasting battery operated fans. Have two of the older 02 cool rechargeable fans in which the rechargeable batteries stopped working after 3 months (apparently overcharged!) but at least with the 8 D batteries, you get nearly 5 days all night (when the power goes out). This one never worked on batteries, only AC. I did not buy it over Amazon but at BB&B;, but the exact same model.I didn't even try rechargeable D's because you never get enough uumph from them, but two different brand names (both considered the best) and brand new. Not even a peep. Returned once, same thing with the second. I didn't have the energy to return again. Obviously from the other reviews, others had good luck with this fan, but for me, I need to feel more confident that a product works. Somewhere there has to be a better fan that doesn't take 8 D batteries.On the other hand, I have not had good luck with any battery operated fan other than the rechargeable one, despite the loss of the rechargeable batteries after only a few months. I still use them at least.Amazon--please try to find a really good one that will work reliably that doesn't take so many darn heavy batteries.

Question: What do Easter Island people call sculptures?

April 2012:I've enjoyed owning this item for years. I mounted it on a 1" thick frame on the wall. The frame has a cutout which fits a `standard' tissue box - it looks like a picture frame. The tiki box is mounted to the frame using a 2-inch' brass hinge at the top - had to drill holes in top of the box to fasten the hinge with small bolts/nuts. When `closed,' the box covers the cutout which is holding the tissue box. Works well, looks good. I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face, which is called a 'Moai,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. Great conversation piece!

Question: What has gone up in just a few weeks?

I'm amazed by how very much I like this oven. I've had it for a few weeks with daily use and have yet to find any of its functions lacking. Toast is better than from any previous toaster-evenly brown, crisp and rapid. In fact, the reason I was looking was because my toaster died and needed to be replaced. Why not see what more I could get for a little bit more money? I baked a peach crisp last night. It was perfect-golden brown on top and cooked perfectly. Tonight I warmed up todays lunch pizza--again perfect with the crust even more crispy than originally from the regular oven. Since purchasing it I've checked over other similar ovens in the stores and am increasingly glad that I purchased this. Incidentally, I paid $79.99 and see it has gone up significantly in price at Amazon in just these few weeks. Glad I bought it when I did!

Question: What was the bag made of?

I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored. The only hassle was sorting whites, colors and reds each laundry day. This sorter is fantastic! It is constructed of metal frame and the 3 bags are very good quality fabric. The wire rack on the bottom is great for keeping the bags from not drooping with the weight of clothing in them. This is a great product and exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier. PS.. the front wheels have locks on them so you can lock the cart in place and keep it from rolling away when using it. I highly recommend this sorter.

Question: Where was this product purchased?

My husband bought this from Walmart - he wanted to get away from teflon. After 2 weeks of frying a few things in it - eggs would not come out - they started sticking, badly. I took it back and exchanged for another. Here we are, 2 months later, trying desperately to make it last because, once again, everything is sticking and you better not even put eggs in it.Poor product, will never buy another - still looking for that idea to get away from teflon - but not in this company.I have a picture of what it looks like now after washing - the dark spots are where the food sticks if you need a visual

Question: How would the suction cup effect the stability of the soap dish?

OK, so I saw in the reviews and photos that some people were receiving a cheap knockoff version of this soap dish, with no slant and a suction cup on it. However, most of the reviews over the more recent months showed people getting the correct item, so I thought Amazon must've corrected the problem. Not so. Ordered 3 days ago, got the idiotic replica which for some reason has no slant whatsoever (one would think even the people making the knockoffs would recognize the overall purpose of the thing.) It's also itty bitty, maybe holding a hotel bar comfortably, but no way a bath bar. And what's with the suction cup? If used on a flat surface, it would make it rock back and forth. Anyhow, it's going back immediately. Ridiculous to waste the time, effort, shipping, etc just to randomly give people either the correct product or a cheap, useless version. If you try it, good luck. At least Amazon has easy returns.

Question: Why did they think they couldn't make bread in the oven?

I bought this bread machine because I was really tired of buying bread at the store that listed ingredients on the bag that were about as long as the white pages. I figured that I probably couldn't bake bread in the oven, since I sometimes have trouble making toast, plus it is time consuming and messy. I figured I would go the easier route and buy a bread machine to make bread because it would just make me feel better eating fresh bread, where I know what is going into it.My grandma used to have a bread machine and I remember that smell of fresh baked bread being so awesome so that is an added bonus. I made two loaves of bread, one on the express loaf option (took about an hour) and the Italian Herb Bread (without the herbs because I didn't have any) and they both turned out great. The crust is perfect, the bread tastes amazing, and I can't wait to make more.I bought some good flour for the bread, by good I mean it is whole grain, grown in USA and any GMO. It actually wasn't a whole lot more than regular bleached flour, and cost me $4.00 at Wal-Mart (which surprised me) and I would buy it again.I would say that if you want some good bread that is easy to make, get this bread machine, because if I can do it...you can do it.

Question: Why did the author buy this new waffle maker?

I've finally given up on my husband's old Bella Cucina Belgian waffle maker that makes soggy waffles no matter what I do. I decided to buy this one on the strength of the good reviews. I'm glad I did! It's a very simple machine with no temp/browning control but it makes waffles that are crispy outside and soft inside. That's all I've ever wanted. I only have to flip once which is cool. What I do now is I make a big batch of waffles, cool them on a wire rack and then freeze them in a ziplock bag. I heat them up in the oven for 5-10 minutes whenever we feel like having waffles at any time of the day.It also helps reading the manual first before using it. It said to never use PAM because it destroys the nonstick coating. I brush the plates with some canola oil and pour 3/4 cup of batter. Pouring in more than that would cause spillage. Hope this helps. And FYI, this item goes on sale at Macy's from time to time for around $17.

Question: How does the user characterize the product's handle?

The OXO "Good Grips" Lemon Zester has a very good grip indeed. It has a fat handle that gives your hand good leverage when using the single tooth to get long fat strips of lemon zest. Flip the zester over and there is a narrow row of 5 or 6 small round holes that (with some pressure) create nice thin short strips of lemon zest. This tool would also work with unripe papaya to shave into pickled preserves or other papaya recipes. It's not the fastest zester, but it's a lot simpler to clean after using, compared to any larger screen-type grater.

Question: What is the blade and plate replaced with after removal?

Once you realize how it properly is assembled for stuffing, you realize how great a product it is. TAKE OUT THE BLADE AND GRINDING PLATE. If you don't remove these, it will seem impossible to stuff a full length casing. It took me an hour doing this. I dissembled, and removed the blade and plate, replacing it with the plastic spinner in the box, and once I did that, the auger did its job and started pulling the meat through, instead of the vicious plunger stuffing that was needed before.Once this was done, I stuffed 10lbs in about 30 minutes (50 links). My recipe:10 lbs pork shoulder2 lbs bacon (unsliced)2 lbs ultra-sharp cheddar (shredded)2 tbs ground fennel2 tbs ground corriander2 tbs ginger1 tbs ground mustard1 tbs chili powder2 tbs red flake pepper1/4 cup watersprinkling of saltUse natural hog casings and your all set.

Question: what brand of product is the writer reviewing?

I tortured myself with research on which pressure cooker I should buy and the Fagor Duo came out on on near the top in many reviews. New to pressure cooking, but with it's expansive instruction and recipe booklets - I am very happy with this product.

Pinto beans in three easy minutes?? Thank you! Any blips so far have been a result of my own learning curve. If you're looking for a good stainless pressure cooker in a reasonable size, this is it!

The quality construction and ease of use are exactly what I was looking for.I eat a plant-based diet, which means I cook a lot of rice, grains, beans and vegetables. Pinto beans in three easy minutes?? Thank you! Any blips so far have been a result of my own learning curve. If you're looking for a good stainless pressure cooker in a reasonable size, this is it!


Question: What position does the author sleep in?

Only had them for a couple days so far but I am very picky when it comes to pillows - I tend to roll around a lot and sleep on side/back/stomach whatever I feel like at the moment. So I tend to have trouble finding pillows that work no matter which way I lay. These are really great though. They are super plushy but still have a great amount of support. And like down pillows, you can kind of mush them into whatever shape you want for support/comfort. 4 of these for the price is just a great deal.

Question: What items are they putting on the rack?

While this does make a very nice key rack, that's not what I got it for. I had been looking for something to hang long necklaces on in my closet/dressing space, and I thought this would work well. It does! It was easy to install. It comes with screws and anchors, and I have to say I never mess with anchors and never have an issue - point being that I screwed this into the wall without the anchors. I like the simple style, and the silver finish adds a touch of elegance. I'm sure this would also work well to hold keys, but I like it as an accessory organizer, too.

Question: How long has the poster used this product?

I've used this product for several weeks. It does a good job and I've not experienced the problem others have described ie the motor shutting down for a 'mandatory' cooling off period. That said, the 'static-free' glass container is a bit of a laugh. I've ground several different types of Arabica beans and there is virtually always static cling and it's always a bit messy. On the other hand, a little mess often goes with preparing something from 'scratch', so it doesn't really bother me - just don't expect the manufacturer's 'no-static' claim to be much more than marketing hype. Bottom line: I like this grinder and I'd recommend it to a friend.

Question: When did they receive the can opener?

The Swing-Away can opener has been the most popular can opener in America for many years, decades even. Swing-Away once made a super beefy can opener with thick rubberized handles. My daughter needed a new can opener. Surfing the web, and Amazon, I ran across this one, a non-Swing Away, but it looked very much like a Swing-Away. Made in the U.S.A.! After a bit of research, I hit the Add button.It arrived only five days later.The unit proved to be very good indeed. The cutters were sharp, the handle was comfortable, and it was easy to attach to cans. I remain very happy that my daughter is happy with it. And I happened to be there when the opener arrived, and I did test it...works perfectly. Unless you have arthritis give yourself a little exercise and avoid the electric can openers. Available in black, white, and red...search on it. Glad I bought it. Recommended.I hope this was helpful to you. If you have questions, please reply in the Comment section below...I would be glad to help._____________________________________________MY NEW BLOG: thegoodstuffreviews.blogspot.com

Question: Do the pans stain?

I purchased these because I simply couldn't resist the color! I love them so much! I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! They heat evenly and well, cook everything nicely and clean up very well. Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off and they're good as new! I cook a lot and I am very pleased with this set!

Question: What size was the Hoover with a bag?

First if you are looking for a vac with the most suck, this is not the one. Hey, get a shop vac from Sears. I've had one 35 years and it still out sucks them all.Having said that, this Cordless from Hoover is Great! I've had a lot of vacs. I loved the big hoover with a bag but my wife kept giving them away because she couldn't muscle it around.Of all the vacs that I have had since they all have one thing in common. Just as I need to go another five feet I run out of cord. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! I'm sick and tired of running out of cord. I tried adding a 50' extension cord but it seemed to get wrapped around everything. A royal pain in the aspen. But in comes the Hoover stick. It has good pickup, I finish before the battery dies and then just stand it up in the colset. It's great, easy to use and I actually vac more often. I can't give a carpet rating as I only have hardwood floors but it sure does the job for me and I have two 65 lb boxers that are always on the wrong side of the door. LOL

Question: What two features does the reviewer mention?

I love this kitchen scale! I have never had a kitchen scale before, so I can't compare it to other scales. But I recommend that everyone own a kitchen scale, particularly single people and couples. It's just me and my husband at home, so I often divide recipes in half or in third. Consequently, I need to know the weight of 1/3 of a tub of something or a container of meat. Now I no longer have to guess the amount I need! We also use this scale to weigh our mail so we know how much postage to put on it.Great features of this scale:-It's light-weight and small, so it is easy to store.-It's battery powered.-It has a "tare" function, so you can put a bowl on the scale and then "zero it out" and weigh the food that you then put in the bowl.

Question: What features did the reviewer want?

I still need a good iron for those last minute wrinkles in formal wear or for a fabric project.This t-fal seems to be sturdy with all the features I want as for adjusting the heat and steam and with the added protection of the nonstick bottom which lets the iron even at its hottest just glide over the fabric (you do need to use only low heat on many synthetics though).It is a good iron for the fabric worker and homemaker and others using materials/fabric, such as cotton, rayon, some silks on low etc. that may sometimes need some heat and pressure.

Question: Who contacted him?

*Disclosure: I was contacted by a rep for Living Concept and provided a free sample for the purposes of giving my thoughts on it.*Hanging 10 in the closet. Who knew? Anyhow, this wood and metal hanger for the closet is indeed multi-purpose. Scarves, ties, hosiery, panties, bras, belts, socks, hats, and so on. The wood is solid and tough, the metal loops rigid and strong. If you can work out how to hang something from it, there ya go. It comes at a cheap investment price, likely less expensive than you would pay for the raw materials to make something similar. In my closet, it's doing at find job at hold all the belts I've picked up over the years.

Question: How many times a year do you clean the heppa sponge?

I have owned my Dyson DC15 Animal for many years now and it still works perfectly. I have "2" pugs who shed a LOT and this vacuum handles them guys and more. It is easy to operate and actually "fun" to use. Previously with my old Orek (before they had the HEPA filter) my house would smell like "dog". As you use the Dyson, the air it sucks in actually comes out cleaner than before it went in. No more dog smell. The key to this vacuum is maintaining it. Don't wait until it fills to the top with dirt. Just pop out the container and drop the dirt into the garbage in only a matter of seconds. I use the brush attachment tool that comes with the vacuum to brush off the inside of the vacuum outdoors every couple of empty-ings. Once or twice a year you take out the heppa sponge and wash it in soap and water. (be sure to thoroughly dry). Best vacuum ever owned. As a MAN, I appreciate how easy this vacuum is to keep running and my wife agrees it is the best vacuum she has ever used. We are in our 50's so we have owned a few vacuums in our time. amazon had the best price at the time and I like their easy return policy. Nice job Amazon.

Question: For whom will I buy a egg timer?

I've used this egg timer many times and my eggs always turn out perfect. I'm surprised some say it has a plastic chemical smell to it. I've never had that problem. My brother-in-law made deviled eggs for Thanksgiving and his eggs were overcooked (green around the yolks) even though he followed a recipe for boiling eggs. This takes the guesswork out of it. I made a macaroni salad tonight and used this timer for my eggs. Once again, absolutely perfectly cooked yolks with no green tint. I would totally recommend. I'm buying one for my brother-in-law.

Question: Where was it mounted instead?

I didn't hang it on the back of a door I actually mounted it to a wall in three separate sections. I have a small laundry room off of the kitchen which is also where my trash can lives. I couldn't mount it to the wall from top straight down or I wouldn't have been able to reach the top. So I Split the track up into sections and mounted it to the studs in my wall. The nice part was that the shelves lined up perfectly so that everything is mounted to actual studs rather than just dry wall. I have the entire unit where I can easily reach everything and it looks like it was always there. Perfect!

Question: What did I worry about napkins before using the new napkin holder?

I was tired of the problems with vertical napkin holders. I looked at all the holders that were of this design and liked the looks AND size of this one the best.I will never worry about napkins blowing away again. Designed in the U.S. but manufactured in China.I recommend placing the napkins with the folded part toward the post as well as trying to grab the entire napkin and not just a layer when you pull it out.

Question: What is the pan perfect for doing?

I love this pan and my other Calphalon pans! This is the perfect size for frying up 2-3 eggs and makes for easy clean up. I can't believe that I can fry eggs without oil or butter! Just use one of those silicone spatulas and you're good to go. Maybe the one thing I don't like about it is the really smooth bottom that makes it hard to keep it straight on my crappy coil stove. I also like that it's light and comes with a lid. I'll continue to by from Calphalon! You should check out their grilling pan and jumbo fryer as well.Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill PanSimply Calphalon Nonstick 12-Inch Jumbo Fryer

Question: what other brand seemed better made than this product?

This Hoover vacuum was simple to put together. The handle snapped in and it was ready to go. The hose in the back has 2 modes for tools or for regular floor cleaning. The vacuum is lightweight compared to my old Hoover WindTunnel, and lighter than my Bissell and Shark Professional that I tried in the same price range. Suction wise it's good, only time will tell as new vacuums always work better.It does not seem as well made as the Shark Professional which was in the same price point with similar features and pretty great maneuverability but is lighter in weight than the Shark. The canister is easy to empty. It cleaned a pretty dirty carpet and was easy to maneuver even in bathrooms due to its lighter weight. Carrying it up the stairs is also much easier. The filter on this vacuum is rinse and reuse which is convenient.Overall, a good vacuum but do your research as there are many other vacuums in this price point, some with more tools and features.

The hose in the back has 2 modes for tools or for regular floor cleaning. <hl> The vacuum is lightweight compared to my old Hoover WindTunnel, and lighter than my Bissell and Shark Professional that I tried in the same price range. <hl> Suction wise it's good, only time will tell as new vacuums always work better. It does not seem as well made as the Shark Professional which was in the same price point with similar features and pretty great maneuverability but is lighter in weight than the Shark. The canister is easy to empty. It cleaned a pretty dirty carpet and was easy to maneuver even in bathrooms due to its lighter weight. Carrying it up the stairs is also much easier. The filter on this vacuum is rinse and reuse which is convenient. Overall, a good vacuum but do your research as there are many other vacuums in this price point, some with more tools and features.

Question: What was the size of the pumpkin pie?

I received this just prior to Thanksgiving this year so it was put into immediate use as I carried a home=made pumpkin pie to my neighbor's place on the mountain.I've used it to carry 10 inch diameter pies without any problems, so don't be put off by the "9 inch pie plate" specification. It does come with a 9 inch plate, but my 10 inch plates fit in perfectly.What a relief to not have to worry about the pie sliding off the car seat as I make my way up and down this twisting, turning, pot holed dirt road!

Question: What does the author love?

I never thought I'd love a bread pan so much. The pan has a nice weight. My bread comes out evenly cooked and perfectly browned on the sides and bottom (as well as on the top). I greased my pans the first 3 times, but the last time I baked bread, I didn't grease the pans and the loaves slid right out. These are truly non-stick (unlike my older "non-stick" teflon loaf pan). I also love that these are made in America. I've recently switched to baking all of our bread, rather than buying sandwich bread, and plan on picking up 2 more of these (I already have 2).

Question: What is the writer reviewing?

Installing this air conditioner is a big project. You will need a couple of strong guys with tools who have several hours to spare and skills in building and installation. Also, since this will take several hours, you will need to provide refreshments.Once the unit was installed, tested and found to be working, we turned it off and are now waiting for hot weather. The guys are looking forward to having the man cave cool this summer.I love that this unit is an Energy Star product , which conserves energy. Our electric company offers a rebate on Energy Star products, be sure and check with yours. In past years we have received tax credits for buying Energy Star items, we will have to wait and see if they offer anything this year.

Question: What size do I think is pefect?

I've had my sodastream for a few weeks now and love it. It is easy to use, and I love the end result. I drink a lot of soda, and am used to buying big 2-liter bottles, or 12 or 24 packs of drinks. Having a sodastream means fewer trips to the store. It means that any given day I can make whatever flavor I fancy on a whim, rather than having to go a week drinking the same thing. Personally I think the 1-liter bottles are the perfect size. I typically keep 3 different ones in the fridge at any given time.I'm really impressed by the quality and variety of flavors. They have all the "usual" flavors: cola, lemon-lime, root beer, dr pepper etc. And compared to the "named brands", Sodastream's flavors match up very well imo. But they go way beyond that, with all kinds of exotic (and really good) flavors too. I was afraid originally that my choices would be restricted since I buy strictly diet drinks, but now. They have a huge variety of excellent sugar-free drinks.I'm very happy with my sodastream, and I'm sure I will be a customer for a long, long time.

Question: What did the author want to put inside this item?

I originally bought this item to fit store bought eggs inside their original container to be put inside this plastic container but the original container won't fit along with the eggs in this plastic container. you have to take the eggs out individually and put them in this container. there is enough room for the standard size store bought egg. having this container is better and safer to store eggs in than the foam types at the store only downside is that the expiration of the eggs is on the foam container so i usually use my labeling gun and just label the plastic container. works as advertised so it gets five stars. it locks on all four sides which is why i love lock n lock brand keeps peace and safer mind if dropped. Also allows better storage for the fridge as things can be put on this sturdy plastic container in the fridge as opposed to crushing eggs in those foam types from the store

Question: What is messy?

Just received the Progressive International Powdered Sugar Keeper and am so glad I did! Powdered sugar is always messy (for me at least) regardless of how I've stored it in the past. This keeper is the perfect size for a standard box of powdered sugar with a little room on top to scoop out without it spilling over the top. It is well made, the seal is airtight and having the shaker built in is great!I've just recently discovered the Progressive line and am really happy with all their products so far.

Question: What version in a different size is better than this version?

Not as good as the shorter one, coffee does not stay hot as long and for driving this would be a problem if you don't like luke warm coffee. The size is great and for cold drinks it may be better.

Question: What happened to the small piece that hooks and holds up the piece that fits on top of the filter?

This coffee maker lasted me about a year making one cup of coffee most days. Then a small piece that hooks that holds up the piece that fits on top of the filter broke off.I originally still gave this coffee maker 3 stars as it did a nice job until the piece broke off after about a year. If it wouldn't have broke off, I probably would have rated it a 4 star (it takes a lot for me to rate something 5 star). I did mostly like the coffee maker. I ordered the same coffee maker and as I was GENTLY wiping down the machine from the packing materials, the same piece broke off from the new machine. So now I have modified my review to be a 1 star. If you are actually somebody who wipes down your coffee maker (according to the directions), don't expect this machine to last.

Question: What state is the carafe in?

I was excited to have one machine to make espresso and coffee in a compact size at a reasonable price. Be warned - you get what you pay for. We have had the machine about three months now and we are starting to have some issues with it. The espresso carafe is cracked and it was never dropped or mishandled. The cost to replace it is outrageous. In general, it takes 20 minutes to brew a full pot of coffee and the temperature is never consistent. The coffee pot spills everywhere when you pour due to the venting on the lid. It is pretty easy to clean. But the whole design is odd/poor overall. I am not very pleased with it as a whole. I will not buy another one of these. I will buck up and buy a more expensive one with better features.Just an update. The coffee maker suddenly stopped working completely. We cleaned it repeatedly on a regular basis and have no idea what the problem is. The espresso make still works. I pulled out the old Cuisinart and it works like a charm, even at five years old. You really do get what you pay for. After we get back from vacation, I will be looking for a higher quality dual machine that will hopefully last more than three months. Buyer beware.

Question: How do you clean the canisters?

I've been using OXO Pop Canisters for quite a while. I store anything and everything in them; sugar, flour, rice, nuts, pasta, coffee, tea bags and my favoriteBelly Flops. The canisters are easy to clean since they are dishwasher safe, easy to use (especially one handed), they keep items fresh and they come in several assorted sizes in both round, rectangle and square shapes. I do have to admit that at first I was turned off by the pricing so I originally bought a single canister, but then.....I was hooked. These are a great purchase if you are looking to organize more and they would also make a great holiday or housewarming gift.

Question: What product is the person reviewing?

The Primula Coffee Brew Buddy Single Cup Coffee Maker promises convenience and that it delivers. But I'd also like a decent cup o' joe, thank you. I tried this with my favorite French Roast expecting this to be like the "socks" popular in Latin America. I used what I thought was a generous measure and was careful that my water was boiling hot. I poured as slowly as I could, but this is more of soaked coffee than drip coffee so my coffee (after repeated tries) tastes as muddy as a camping trip.Think this might be great for brewing tea, so I'll hang on to it for the next time I'm sick

Question: Is the toaster well made?

it looks nice on my counter but a couple of notes here: first of all the lever to make toast is a little fussy, must make sure it goes all the way to the bottom and catches. I think a little inferior workmanship. Secondly, contrary to previous poster, we need to set it at five to get toasted browned bread. The four setting he spoke of only toasts the top of the crust, not the whole slice. Havent tried it on bagels yet, so perhaps that setting will be better for thicker, ie: closer to the element cooking. But , for the money, it's an ok toaster but i suspect that it may not last forever like toasters of the past! Everything is so "throw away" anymore.
