Question: What does the writer use to clean the inside of the burr grinder?

Answer: a brush with coarser bristles to really get the coffee out

This is my first burr grinder, so I really have no comparison, but still I'll share my experience. I bought this grinder because my old blade grinder died and I like my coffee. All the coffee snob websites (yes, I'm a coffee snob) say that burr grinding is the way to go because blade grinders heat the beans while grinding and this affects the taste. So, since the old one died, I decided to try the burr. Plus, I use a french press at times, so I wanted to be able to grind coarsely to minimize the sludginess in the bottom of my cup (not that I mind it terribly).So, I started using this on coarse setting for my french press. My experience with the coffee, though, was that my sludge factor wasn't lessened over my blade grinder, which I surmise to mean that I'm not getting consistent particle size (still generating fines on coarse setting). Further, I can't taste the difference between burr grinded coffee and blade grinded coffee. So, take that for what it's worth. The unit is messy. Coffee sticks in the bottom bin because of static, which isn't a huge deal, but the discharge from the machine to the bin also contains coffee which falls out on the counter when you remove the plastic bin. cleanup is sort of a pain inside the grinder itself. They say to wipe with a damp cloth and they give you a little brush to brush the little gears. <hl> You need a brush with coarser bristles to really get the coffee out , and still, there are remnants of coffee in there that I just can't get out. <hl> Maybe I'm overly concerned about cleanliness, but it bothers me. This thing is next to worthless for finer grinds (I'd say anything significantly shy of 25%, towards the fine end). The beans seem to just cease entering the grinder periodically. Then you have to turn it off, unplug it, remove the bottom bin and dump out the beans and put them back in again (or shake the unit) to get it to start grinding again. The beans come out looking pretty finely ground, but it's just aggravating trying to get it to grind the whole batch. This happens on almost every grind on the fine setting and even periodically on the coarser settings...which makes the preset for the amount of coffee (take note, 1 cup = 1.5 tbsp coffee) pointless, because you have to turn it off in the middle to clear the jam. I know you get what you pay for and this is really far down on the price scale for burr grinders. Still, I would expect it to work over it's full range of operations. If you really want a burr grinder, you probably need to invest in a better model (if you want fine grind, at least). But honestly, for just everyday coffee grinding for a normal drip pot (or even a french press) the blade grinders available for half the price seem to perform just as well as this and the cleanup is far easier.

Question: What is the writer studying?

I am SO beyond excited to have this. I am in nursing school, which requires a lot of long days and have some classmates who have these. I finally bought one and LOVE it. I do not use microwaves and with winter coming it would be great to have hot lunches. Not to mentions, microwaves are not always available.I was not even thinking, but now I am going to buy a second one. My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches. I have always tried to bring him hot lunches when I can, but that is hard to do especially with being in school and working. Now I can send him to school with this with approval from his teacher. He is SO excited. All he has to do is plug this in about 2 hours before lunch and its ready when he is.

Question: What is the Henckels Pro S hollow-ground santoku?

I have the Henckels Pro S hollow-ground santoku, and it's definitely the best item in my kitchen. I've had it over a year and it just now needs to be professionally sharpened (of course, we do keep up with the sharpening steel every few uses). It slices through everything like it's warm butter, and items fall away from the sides. It feels solid and well-balanced in my hand, and the weight helps the slicing. The only caution I would share is that if you hold the knife properly (thumb and side of the index finger on the sides of the blade, last three fingers wrapped around the handle), be careful of the "dull" bolster area; I actually cut myself on this part of the knife the first time I used it! I used my steel to file down the sharp edges and haven't had any problems since. Overall, this was the best $80 I've ever invested in my culinary education!

The only caution I would share is that if you hold the knife properly (thumb and side of the index finger on the sides of the blade, last three fingers wrapped around the handle), be careful of the "dull" bolster area; I actually cut myself on this part of the knife the first time I used it! I used my steel to file down the sharp edges and haven't had any problems since. Overall, this was the best <hl> $80 <hl> I've ever invested in my culinary education!


Question: How does the machine squeeze oranges?

After using lesser juicers for a couple of years (you can see my reviews of them on amazon) I saw this machine at a store and bought it from amazon. I've been blown away! The best juicer ever. So powerful! Oranges come out bone-dry, every drop of juice goes into the glass. I squeeze fresh orange juice every morning, and I am sure I am saving at least $1 a day because this machine is so much more efficient than all my previous ones. I buy fewer oranges to get the same couple of glasses of juice. At this rate, the machine will pay for itself 100% in 4-5 months. The unit is sturdy, good-looking, quiet, easy to wash. A fantastic piece of home technology!PS - here we are, two years later, and I am still using this machine every day. It is a simple and effective piece of technology. Several friends have bought identical units after seeing me use mine - and they all love it. I wish all gadgets worked as well as this one!

Question: What amount did the reviewer say the shaker scale should go up to?

The shaker itself is great, but the scale should read up to at least 16 oz.In contrast, I have a cheap Boston shaker with a rubber gasket that costed $10 at BevMo, and it has a scale that reads up to 16 oz.Not everyone makes 3 oz martinis.I'm an ice junkie. I need all my beverages ice cold, whether it's iced tea or iced coffee. Whatever I drink, I love using a Boston shaker to get the job done.While the seal mechanic itself is great, it's a shame that the company only makes this model for 10 oz...Forgiving if it was $20, but for a $50 two-piece shaker, it's a deal breaker because you expect so much more. Not to mention, the accompanying strainer costs an additional $23...So far, I've yet to come across a quality shaker like this model that has a 16 oz scale for convenience and practicality. I don't wanna bust out a measuring cup/shot glass/jigger everytime I'm gonna drink something... 'cause I literally shake at least six drinks at various times of the day.

Question: How did the product feel when it arrived?

When we received this, it was rolled up and felt hard as a rock. It took both my husband and I together to unroll it. It's really rolled tightly. Once we got it unrolled, we had to laugh. It was much smaller than the mattress and felt like a hard piece of plastic.. We both said, there's no way this thing is going to fit the bed or be soft.. But a few hours later, it had fluffed and stretched out, fit the bed perfectly and was very cushiony. It's very comfortable, has held up perfectly and we feel it was a great investment. We have a nearly new mattress that despite being a pillow top (and quite expensive to boot), was not very comfortable to sleep on.. This topper has made it much more comfy..

It was much smaller than the mattress and felt like a hard piece of plastic.. We both said, there's no way this thing is going to fit the bed or be soft.. But a few hours later, it had fluffed and stretched out, fit the bed perfectly and was very cushiony. It's very comfortable, has held up perfectly and we feel it was a great investment. We have a nearly new mattress that despite being a pillow top (and quite expensive to boot), was not very comfortable to sleep on.. This topper has made it much more <hl> comfy <hl>..

This topper has made it much more <hl> comfy <hl> ..


Question: What is not included with the coffeemaker?

i read all the reviews and was very careful in selecting my new coffeemaker. one of the things that I hated the most about my old style (glass) carafe was that it DID, in fact, taste like burnt coffee and hated that so much. i though the idea of a thermal carafe was great! keeping it warm without burning it. BUT this particular coffeemaker doesn't even get it hot! it does NOT have a setting for the hot plate because THERE IS NO HOT PLATE. It does not get warm at all because it expects the carage to keep it warm. I love having the preset button but cannot use it because if I don't wake up right when it is finished brewing I do not get a hot cup of coffee. And by the time I leave for work to pour the last cup, it isn't even warm. I gave it three stars because some people may not prefer their coffee piping hot and since it does make a tasty cup of coffee with the three settings, I will leave it.Regardless, I have only had this coffee maker for just over a month and am thinking about buying a different one. Waste of money for me. If anyone wants to purchase this off of me, I would gladly sell it to you at a cheaper price. :(

Question: What did the previous reviews say about assembly?

I really like the look of the cart so it was what I ordered, regardless of the previous reviews stating it was difficult to assemble. They were right, it was difficult especially when there were parts missing and the holes did not line up. The person I hired to put it together said and it would have been impossible for a person who couldn't have thought outside the box. He got it together, but it took a lot of work, two trips to the store, and it required a drill. This was not in the instructions. But once it was done...I really like it!!

Question: What did the customer also purchase?

Purchased this thermometer along with the CDN IRXL220 Large Dial Insta-Read Thermometer. I use the Large Dial for roasts and this one for poultry (this thermometer's sensing part extends from its tip for 3/4 of an inch which works better for the thinner poultry meat). I tested both of them out of the box on a glass of ice water and a pot of boiling water. The readings were right on at 32 and 212 degress plus or minus a smidgen of a degree. So far, this thermometer works well and has not given me any problems. Its hold feature comes in handy when you need to get to a better light source to read the temperature.

Question: What brand is the old 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.

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.

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 <hl> good reviews <hl>.
