Question: how much did you like the product

I am really happy with this refurbished KitchenAid blender. I make fruit shakes that have frozen fruit, including a cut-up frozen banana, and the blender blends it all pretty well. Occasionally it bogs down and won't move the contents. I usually blend the frozen fruit on low, and as I write this it occurs to me that maybe I need to increase the speed in order to move those frozen pieces to the bottom and get the blender going again. I'll try it. But over all I love the blender. Sounds powerful. Crushes ice into snow if you let it.

Answer: over all I love the blender. Sounds powerful

Question: What was the very first thing the author bought?

First I bought a mandolin to julienne my carrots and cucumbers for California rolls. That machine was an accident waiting to happen. Since I like my fingers the way they are I decided to try this gadget for cutting strips of carrots. Let me tell you this gadget not only was easy to use but I felt safe using it. I use a fork to hold down the carrot and depending on how much pressure I use, I can make the strips thin or a bit thicker. I also bought the potato peeler, both work great!

Question: Where does the writer put the leftover food?

I love my new pan. I live alone, but like to bake for gifts and monthly card parties. This is perfect, as I can have five for the guests and hoard one in the freezer, without wasting the left overs (or eating it myself)! Nice solid construction, and although the design looks really tiny in the picture, it is not so narrow in reality. A true mini traditional Bundt pan, which is what I was aiming for. Maybe I will get more daring with designs, later, but was concerned about definition of design on a smaller scale. Very pleased. Would highly recommend Nordic Ware for its quality.

Question: What should you not rest the egg upon?

Fold a paper towel into thirds.Pulled the egg from the water, drain.Place folded paper towel in left hand, lay in egg, small end up. Lightly close fist with end of egg peeking out of your fist.The towel insulates your hand from heat and cradles egg; end of egg is vertical. Put topper on upper end of egg and lightly encircle base of topper with thumb and forefinger.Tip: Don't let the bottom of the egg rest on your little finger, the little finger should also encircle the egg. The downward pressure from the Topper should be gently absorbed by the paper towel and light fingers pressure.Pull and release topper twice. Often, the egg can be carried by the topper to the egg cup then coaxed off the topper.You still may have to use the tip of an upside down spoon to life the cap.Lastly, I have tried pricking eggs with the gadget. Pricking eggs or not, I see no gain to pricking. If you do, the only difference I saw was a bit of egg white that oozed out.EZ!

Question: What item is this reviewer talking about?

Can't even express the awesomeness of this garment rack other than to say it's so good that it's made me enthusiastic about a garment rack.It arrived almost fully assembled--literally all you have to do is unfold it out of the box and pop in the horizontal bar. They even put the wheels on for you. I had it up and ready to go in less than two minutes, and that included opening the box.The entire thing is welded steel, so there's nothing plastic to bend or break on it. I have on mine a couple winter coats, my wedding dress and some suits and there's only the slightest dip in the horizontal bar from all that weight. I was also able to easily roll it with all those items on it, and maneuver it into our attic closet. In my opinion, it's worth every penny!

Question: What material is it made from?

This is a cool and very nifty collapsible kettle. The top is silicone, the bottom is stainless steel.It is quite lightweight, and collapses into a pack about the size of a thick paperback. Ideal for camping, travel, and those who have limited kitchen space. Also nice for those who don't use a kettle all that much.In boiling water it worked fast & flawless. The handle and top remain cool to the touch. There was no "off" taste to the water.However, if you let the water sit in it for a couple of days, there is a tiny rubbery taste.I rcvd a sample for review.

Question: How many stars does the reviewer rate the product?e

My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars.Recommended!

Question: What are they worthy of?

Just got these today. I like them just on sight alone. They have a nice weight and I anticipate long wear as this is my 'entertaining' set of flatware. The product image gives the impression that the handles on the spoons and forks have a more voluminous shape. But they are flatter than the handle on the knives, which are more substantial rounded and hollow, though still of considerable weight. I'm guessing knifre handles must be weighted and filled out to balance the weight of the blade.Anyway, set is dinner party worthy and have real (nice!) restaurant quality appearance. The design is beatiful and not overtop making them a a plus to use with the good dishware. The overall appearance eliminates the need for super design-centric dishware and will very nicely accent good quality plain white dishes.

Question: What is the reviewer's opinion of people who use the programmable feature?

When I broke my old Capresso, I was upset - because it was a small, reliable, inexpensive unit. All they make now are $200 plus coffeemakers. The Cusinart was on sale and seemed to be adequate. It is. I do not know why the unit is so large. My Capresso was half the size and did the very same job. There is a plastic gimmick inside the reservoir to show water level - USELESS, unless you have a flashlight handy. An easier solution is to use the marked carafe or some other similar utensil. Like all coffee makers these days, it is programable. I have never used this feature - ever - and can't comment on its efficiency. If you are going somewhere early and can not go push a buttton before you start getting ready, you have a problem. The matte finish is very nice. It looks sharp and requires little maintenance. The result of the brewing process is a good cup of coffee.If you like to store your coffee pot under a cabinet, I highly recommend an appliance caddy - Amazon sells one, but it is cheaper at Bed, Bath and Beyond. $9.99. It works so well, I wish I had gotten one years ago.

Question: How do you get it to start sifting again?

I do not like this sifter at all because it starts out sifting while using the spring action handle and then it stops sifting after a few pulls and you end up having to shake the sifter to get the flour out. Now I see why it's up as a clearance item. Don't waste your money if you are buying it for its intended purpose. You might get by with doing a cup, but no way will it do more without shaking it and hitting it against your other hand. This one was a let down. I ended up ordering the hand cranking kind because I know they work pretty good.

Question: What edges does the peeler have?

I do not know what took me so long to up-date to this new type of peeler, which is Awesome. (at least new to me)It's easy and comfortable to handle. Peeling is now effortless.The peeler does have a serrated edges, so be careful.I diid Not have a problem with peeling my skin though.I took out a few frozen banana's for a smoothie. I was told you do not have to peel them before freezing them. (Might peel them first!!)I ran them over medium water for a couple of seconds. When I peeled the peel from the banana's they seemed to still havea coating over them from the frozen banana peel !This peeler just gilded over the banana, without ripping it apart. Which I expected it to do!I usually have a problem peeling fresh beets. NOT a problem with this peeler.If it can peel raw fresh beets with ease, it can peel anything..Two Thumbs up..

Question: what is the only company that makes spot cleaners?

My experience with Bissell's spot cleaners has been horrible. The model I bought six months ago just went out to the trash after months of "bickering with Bickell." I think it worked three times and Bickell's customer service people managed to talk me out of returning it until the return date had passed. I decided to check and see if there are similar products made by other carpet cleaning companies. Bissell is the only company that makes these, which makes me wonder why Eureka, Hoover, and other good companies don't have something even close to offer in the spot cleaning robot machine category. I have to think the technology has not been perfected enough for reputable companies to take a chance on it. I have a Dyson carpet cleaner I love, but was expensive. I wanted something simple to take care of spills. But don't waste your money on Bissell.

Question: How many cups of coffee can this coffee maker make at once?

I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty. Can't beat it.We've been using it for about a month and we could not be happier!It's very simple to program and to operate. It makes really good coffee that's hot and stays hot -- the warmer plate is adjustable for temp, and there is a timer to keep the coffee hot up to 4 hours. Good capacity - 14 cups and also has a setting for a small brew; it's easy to fill and the pot does not drip (hooray!)Looks and feels like quality -- it has a sort of "retro" look that I like and looks great with all my stainless appliances. In short, buy this one and you won't be disappointed.

Question: What does the product promise it delivers on?

I like the Zero water concept. It delivers on its promise of clean water. However, in my area of the country, I go through filters quickly. The filters are expensive, but you have to balance that with the cost of bottled water.My main problem with this company is the design of their 23-cup water dispenser. The one I bought had a design flaw in the button that allows the water to dispense. It has a small stem that is made of plastic and will eventually break. There is no way to repair it.The company promised to replace the dispenser...then I waited, and waited...the customer service people kept stalling. Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser, but they sent me coupons for more filters! Incredible!A company that has such disregard for its customers does not deserve my business. I will never buy another one of their products.

Question: Whats a good theme to be used for this set?

I use this set for cutting gum paste forms for cake decorating. For that purpose, they are excellent. They are sharp and make clean cuts. For a butterfly theme party, it gives you a good variety of butterflies (although a couple are more moth shaped than butterfly shaped). The flower part of the assortment isnot particularly inspiring, but one of the "flowers" is ctually sun-shaped which works for me because I didn't havea sun in my fondant cutter collection.I took a point off because good cutters have a sharp side and a rolled side to make it easy to work with. The rolled side of this set is still pretty sharp, making it uncomfortable to handle when you're trying to cut a lot of shapes.

Answer: butterfly theme

I use this set for cutting gum paste forms for cake decorating. For that purpose, they are excellent. They are sharp and make clean cuts. <hl> For a butterfly theme party, it gives you a good variety of butterflies (although a couple are more moth shaped than butterfly shaped). <hl> The flower part of the assortment isnot particularly inspiring, but one of the "flowers" is ctually sun-shaped which works for me because I didn't havea sun in my fondant cutter collection. I took a point off because good cutters have a sharp side and a rolled side to make it easy to work with. The rolled side of this set is still pretty sharp, making it uncomfortable to handle when you're trying to cut a lot of shapes.

Question: What angle is really bad?

Viewing angle really bad, have to be pretty much directly in front to read. There is no way to clear, as far as I can tell, but it's not a big deal because you can just hold the minute button in and it will do the super-fast scroll to 99 then to zero to start over. Basic, very easy to use, good magnet on it. Small size, about credit card, and very thin too. Alarm is mild, wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise.

Question: How much does this mattress cost?

Five years on lesser quality mattresses of the same type overseas made me a believer in not needing a box spring. I didn't think I would find these great mattresses here in the USA. This is the absolute best and most comfortable mattress I have ever laid on, and please, do not think for a minute you need a 10,12, or 14 inch mattress of this sort. I typically used a 4 or 6 inch mattress of this type with great results in the Philippines. $250 for this, or $1,000 for a conventional mattress/box spring with equal comfort that will be loaded with dust mites in a couple years. My weight is 230 btw, it's great.About the smell, little bit, not a problem. I'm asthmatic, did not bother me.

Question: What type of water do they use?

Makes a three shots of great tasting "espresso". I use a grind halfway between drip and espresso. Found starting with hot water makes a much better brew - less time on the stove. Steam and water leaked between the chambers the first couple times I used it. Took the seal off and carefully cleaned it and the threads; problem solved. Easy to clean, too.

Question: How often does the reviewer say they vaccum?

Many a vacuum cleaner has been sacrificed in my relentless battle against pet messes. With shedding dogs, long haired cats and two seed strewing cockatiels, daily vacuuming is mandatory at my house. Sadly none of the earlier combatants have been able to last against the unending barrage of hair, dander and assorted debris.Enter the Bissell. I am not mechanically inclined, but assembly was quick and easy. The suction is great and the attachments, especially the fur removal brush are terrific. Although I wish the tank had more capacity, it is fun to gauge your progress. The tank is easy to empty. I like the cord rewind feature and the vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver. There is a three year warranty.This is an affordable, effective vacuum cleaner. If it feels like you are loosing the battle against pet hair, this might just turn the tide. Recommended.

Question: Where are the smaller pockets located?

For those of us who can't use a regular shower caddy (e.g. with a claw foot tub) and need to hang something on the shower rod, this works as advertised. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tension rod, since you'll be putting bottles of fluids in it. But otherwise it holds the bottles and brushes and loofas fine. My (women's) razors did NOT fit well in the smaller pockets up top and tend to fall out. Also not the most attractive thing, but not uglier than anything else available. And it works.

Question: What kind of vacuum cleaner do they have?

It does technically fit my Eureka Air Speed bagless vacuum, but that's not to say it actually attaches or fits by itself. I place the attachment part into the hose of my vacuum, and as long as I hold it, it fits. This isn't such a problem for me, since I don't need to move the vacuum cleaner while I'm using this kit. I have to hold the hose, anyway, so I just hold it where it attaches. I need something for tiny jobs like my keyboards and other accessories, and it does do the trick. So I am keeping it. But I can see where it would be annoying for other users, and it would be great if the product came with a list of vacuums it is compatible with. Since you can't really hold it up to your own to judge the size, the buyer should be aware that it may not fit. It still works better for me than canned air.

Question: According to this user, for what purpose is the product used?

I only came across this product because I'm looking to buy a replacement for it. Before you think I'm ridiculous for rating it 5 stars, let's just say I have had this hot pot for 9 1/2 years, and it has served me well. The water boils much faster than heating on a stove-top kettle. I use it to boil water for hot chocolate, tea, etc. It recently started making sparks when I heat up the water, so I figured it's time for a new one. I think I only paid about $10 for this at Linens n Things when I first purchased it, so I can't say that it wasn't $10 well-spent.

Question: Who cooked in the CorningWare product for the reviewer?

You can't tell from the picture, but this item looks quite elegant, as if it were made of fairly high quality porcelin, but it's made of CorningWare which along with Pyrex always gets top marks from me.I have one CorningWare pot and lid that I've put to 20 years of heavy use, and it shows no signs of its significant age. I imagine this cassarol dish might join it in our collection of "keep it 'til we're dead" items. Certainly the material is lighter and thinner, but I don't imagine it's any less durable than our other CorningWare item.This item arrived at our house midday, and that evening I came home to cassarol. Since my wife is really picky, that makes this item a winner.No question on the fully earned five stars rating.

Question: What is in the right place and makes it comfortable to hold?

This is a great reuseable cup. Fine for filling at home and traveling with and just as good for taking in to your local Starbucks and getting your fix. It washes up well, I have not seen any staining like another reviewer mentioned. The insulated grip is in the right place and is comfortable to hold. The plastic cup material doesn't get too hot anyway and acts as a good insulator. I have a ceramic to go mug as well and it gets really hot and transmits that heat. If you don't hold that mug by its grip you will get burned. Not so with this one. The lid is sturdy and easy to thread on every time. There is no leakage or dribbling and the drinking hole is quite adequate for sipping, even when you're driving. If you take this baby into Starbucks just hand it over (minus the lid; they make you hold on to that for some reason) and ask for a grande. yay! Win-win! You have a cool cup with your favorite Starbucks coffee beverage AND are doing your part to keep paper cups out of our landfills. AND Starbucks will charge you 10 cents less (you may have to remind them)! The only thing that would improve this cup, in my opinion, is an awesome design on it, the white is OK, simple and elegant even, but not exciting. But that's just aesthetics--the functionality is the best. Buy it.

Question: How many times has this person used the rack?

Decided on buying this drying rack after reading some reviews about wooden racks. People complained that they broke, got mildew and were hard to assemble etc. Though a bit on the expensive side this drying rack works great. No assembly needed just take it out the box, set up the feet and turn the knob at the top to open the arms. Construction is sturdy and durable. Easy clean up...I just used a damp cloth to wipe it down. When closed the drying rack takes up very little space and fits neatly back in the box.The item arrived as promised and in good condition. I've used it once and am quite pleased.

Question: What is the name of this sheet?

Silpat works great as always, and it fits my full sheet pan exactly. That's the good stuff. The bad part is that it was folded for shipment, and my other Silpat products always warned not to fold them. This one arrived folded in quarters with a crease down the middle that never flattened out correctly. After only two months, the sheet has split in the middle right along the fold. This means that it's OK for cookies, but if I want to roast potatoes on it and smear it with olive oil, it's going to leave a mess in my pan.

Question: when does the pan tip over?

I ordered this saucepan because it looked decent enough to serve my purpose. The package arrived on time, but contained a return sticker. So I am not sure if this product was bought from a store and then shipped to me. Product-wise, this is an okay saucepan. Like many reviewers mentioned, the handle is very heavy. So the pan has a tendency to tip over when empty. It did not seem a problem when I have liquid in the pan though. The pan also gets stained very easily in my opinion. The main problem I have with this pan is that the base is really really small. Because of this incredibly small surface, most of the heat from the stove is wasted and it takes longer for the liquid to boil. I would not recommend this pan. you can find something better for similar or slightly higher price.

Question: The fan runs how?

This item operates as it should. All mechanical operations did not fail. It is simply too small, and not powerful enough to cool anything with any degree of effectiveness. I followed all directions for use. Inserted fresh batteries. Turned it on. Then left it in my car for a few hours on a 60 degree temperature day. When I came back to the car, the fan was still on. But the interior was hot. The fan ran exactly like it was suppose to, but the air was not cool. All that it did was circulate hot air. If this fan can't cool the inside of a car, then how is it suppose to work in a room?

Question: What is different in color than the wood of the frame?

But you're probably not going to put this next to your "nice" furniture. The color difference between the baskets and the wood of the frame is pretty significant. Also, one of my shelves had a scratch/scuff -- if I were going to use this without the baskets, that would have been a problem. Last, it's quite a bit redder than it appears in the picture.That said, it was extremely easy to put together, and it's solid once it's together. It works for me, but don't buy it expecting a high-end quality category.

Question: How do these pans need to be treated in order for them to last?

I haven't used these trays very much yet but they have worked well so far. I used them to cook frozen pizzas and they have come out nicely. However, be very careful when you wash these trays! If you've never owned a product like this before you might not realize that you absolutely CANNOT soak them in water. If you do, water seeps in between the layers of the tray and it is very difficult to recover from this. You can attempt to dry them out in the oven, but that typically only works with a small amount of damage. Unfortunately, I lost one of my trays to this mistake! My advice is just to be careful when you wash them. They also don't do well in the dishwasher so you really do need to wash them by hand. They're good quality, but you have to treat them carefully if you want them to last.

If you do, water seeps in between the layers of the tray and it is very difficult to recover from this. You can attempt to dry them out in the oven, but that typically only works with a small amount of damage. Unfortunately, I lost one of my trays to this mistake! My advice is just to be careful when you wash them. They also don't do well in the dishwasher so you really do need to wash them by hand. They're good quality, but you have to treat them <hl> carefully <hl> if you want them to last.

Question: What is the name of the coffee machine?

I've been using the Breville daily for over four years,multiple cups a day. It's a solid machine and the coffee is excellent *IF* you follow a few simple steps. It's not going to keep pumping water if you don't descale or clean out the needle head. It's really common sense, water and coffee grinds are bound to clog things up now and again. The descaling process is a little more than a simple brew cycle with vinegar. The vinegar/water mix needs a few hours "in the pipes' so overnight is ideal. Referring to the instructions is always an excellent first step.Recently though, I did notice the machine groaning and struggling to pump the water and make the coffee I had come to really love. A brilliant reviewer suggested a shot of compressed air but I used my steam machine (all I had handy) to clean and flush out the water lines and needle head. A few minutes later and I could see the water level drop in the tank like it did when it was brand new and it quietly made me another cup of perfect coffee. Between you and me, I think I heard it whisper "thank you."

Question: How many stars does this reviewer want to leave?

I bought this without bothering to read the reviews first and what a mistake and waste of money that was. This humidifier is LOUD; there's no way to sleep in the same room when this thing is running. Another reviewer said they had to get a sound/sleep machine to duplicate the sound it makes. Sure, but they didn't mention that the sound/sleep machine was an idling dump truck! And it leaks! Not just a little, either and not something just a hand towel can absorb. Noisy, leaky and wholly unsatisfactory! I already own the Crane "Penguin" and couldn't be happier with that but I didn't want to have to drive all the way to the store that has them. I should have because now I'm going to have to do it anyway. Also, the filters get nasty in a very short period of time and I'm not crazy about trying to find them or wasting money changing them out when all I want to do is add a little humidity to the air. After all, you're adding clear tap water not something you dredged out of the drainage ditch. Amazon needs to add a "zero" stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return!

Question: What is used to grab hairs?

I also cleaned my cat condo tree with this, and though my results were not as spectatular as another reviewer, it still turned out really clean. Perhaps with consistent use it will be better. It's nice to hold onto, very comfortable, nice long electrical cord. The rubber end with the nubbins that grab hair works really well in any direction it is used. Very easy to disassemble to empty and clean debris.I took an old mascara brush (cleaned well in soapy water to remove all remnants of mascara) and use it to brush between ripples in the filter to help clean it out more when I am doing using it. Works really well.

Question: What one thing did they hate about the knives?

I purchased the santoku 6" and it's awesome (although it chips very soon). This paring knife its so good because its handle; I feel it more ergonomic than my previous one. THE BLADE IS PERFECT, it's razor sharp and well, you know , it is kyocera.BUT, just one thing I hated: THERE'S A LITTLE SPACE where the handle meets the blade. I dont like it. I think the food can get inside there and, well, it isn't safe.I dont know if the problem is that my paring knife is yellow and the fancy colors knives are defective.I won't buy the fancy knives again.

Question: What rusts easily?

What I like best about these is the oval shape that really does fit into tight places. Also, there is no lip between the handle and the spoon, so you can easily "sweep" a measurement of a dry ingredient flat.Measurements are clearly and cleanly stamped into the handle and will not wear away over time. After owning these for a day, my old round plastic spoon with the worn off screen printed measurements went in the trash.One word of caution - these ship with a ball/clasp (dogtag style) chain looping these together, along with the standard keyring pictured. Remove the chain, as it will rust easily and stain the spoons.

Question: What did the company send the user after calling?

I was glad I read the reviews before purchasing because several of them had tips for assembling the racks if you were doing it alone (it would work better with two people.) I had no problems assembling the first two and assembly time went down significantly on the second one. For the third rack, the connectors were already in the poles on two of them but were askew and I was assembling them in a new house with no tools. Even if I had had tools, I was leery of gripping the threads of the connector with a pliers to twist them out of the pole and possibly damaging them. I called the company and explained the problem and they sent me two replacement poles and two connectors. Later I was able to get the connectors out of the poles without damage using pliers so could have assembled the rack with the original parts, but I found a use for the extra pole and appreciate that Whitmor replaced the parts without charge.

Question: How well does the machine clean?

I have a very mixed review of this cleaner. It cleans beautifully-I have no complaints in that area. My complaint is with how the cleaner is designed and manufactured. The handle to the dirty water tank immediately began to give me problems. The second use of the machine, the handle fell off. It is not fixable as the cheap plastic broke off. The design of the thing is very strange-I haven't a clue why they did it that way. Also, the caddie that holds the tools I find to be very inconvieniant. It doesn't hold the hose very well and is mostly in the way. The only reason I rated the machine 3 was the cleaning ability. I am pleased (so far) with how well it cleans.

Question: How many watts?

I put the ice and the margarita stuff in the container, twisted and - I kid you not - about 3-4 seconds later I had a blended margarita. That's the fastest full blend I've ever had. And it stopped on its own for me as well. I did it side by side with the Bella version of this product (which I love) and it is about a second or two faster. The 900 watts shines.I also used this with a smoothie - and here is why I'm only going four stars - and the height of the blades was difficult to use with a full cup. I had to take some of the fruit and ice out to make the base go on. This isn't a problem with other brands. But Ninja always has the blade issue on blenders or these bullet-like devices. I get that it chops great but with the high profile you get smaller cups.I'm super happy with this product and would recommend it in a heart beat for mixing drinks and making smoothies. But if you want to fill the whole cup with smoothie or something harder (like bananas) it doesn't fit.

Question: Is the container made of tupperware?

I had high expectations when I ordered this product. I was hoping that it would be as nice as my tupperware cupcake carrier, only with a handle. Well, don't order this thinking it's going to be a piece of tupperware. Nothing's further from the truth. It's made of that "easy to crack" plastic, making you leery of putting it down anywhere unsafe for glass. It does include a small, glass pie plate which would be nice if it was a deep dish but alas, it isn't. It can hold about a dozen cupcakes too, if you don't just put them all in the pie plate area. But be careful transporting - they'll get all over the place! It's good for its intent - as a pie carrier. I suppose that this is nice for things like picnics, informal get-togethers, etc., but if you're really going to a fancy holiday party, this guy just WON't be appropriate. Just wish the plastic was of a better quality. Recommend, but with the above disappointments.

Question: What was the reviewer's friend return their capresso?

I sure hope it lasts though! There been alot of comments that these frothers break down after a short while or straight out of the box. My friend bought the capresso machine and it didnt work out of the box so it was returned. This one works beautifully do far, I love the feel of the machine. It feels like ceramic sorta, it has a nice weight to it. Love the design. I hope it lasts even though it has a warranty I'm assuming because we really enjoy this little machine. The little circle ball you see is a storage area for the one whisk your not using, it's a very cute design touch. This comes with 2 whisks but the little circle seems to fit one only, I guess you keep the other on the machine because your using it. Well I can't say enough about how great this machine is so far. I hope it lasts past the warranty which should be about a year I imagine.

Question: Is the Primula a fast or slow brewing system?

I have a Keurig for every day and am growing fond of it, but sometimes, I just need the satisfaction of something slower, more relaxing, more hands-on. This Primula coffee press is perfect for a leisurely weekend morning when I want to kick back with the paper and a croissant and feel like I'm in a cafe somewhere peaceful. If you've never used a French press, you might want to give it a try. It's easy to use and produces a lovely cup of coffee. Although it purports to make six cups, in fact, it makes about a large mug and a half - just enough. Yes, it takes a minute to dump the grounds and clean the pot. It's more than worth it.

Note, they do not come with instructions, but it is not hard to figure out how to use them and you can find YouTube video's on it.I highly recommend these they are Awesome!

I ordered this pack and it arrived quickly, <hl> less then one week <hl> .
