Question: Can you fill your mug while the coffee is brewing?

Answer: can't pour coffee until the brewing cycle is complete

I drink several cups of coffee per day and have been using a 4 cup Mr. Coffee which performs satisfactorily. This new coffee maker makes a good cup of coffee. If you make a small quantity the coffee is not as hot as many people might prefer. I found that making a half pot or more results in hotter coffee. The coffee maker looks great and I appreciate the simple design that makes it easy to clean the tank, the filter holder and the glass carafe. The grey color looks nice and has a matte finish. Unlike my shiny black Mr. Coffee, this unit does not show finger prints and is easier to wipe clean. Other commentors have covered everything you can say. I have no problem with the carafe but I do remove the coffee filter unit before pouring. To me this is only logical. I paid $59.99 through [...] This site had the lowest price and delivered it in a week or so but were very poor in answering calls or emails. Compared to other small coffee makers this is expensive and has fewer features such as a clock or automatic "turn-on" at a set time. This does not bother me since it only takes about 4 minutes to brew and every other appliance seems to have a clock anyway. When I would set my Mr. Coffee to come on at 6AM it seems I didn't get up until 6:20 and the coffee was already burnt! I stopped using that feature. <hl> For me the biggest, though very minor, inconvenience is that you can't pour coffee until the brewing cycle is complete . <hl>

Question: Does the kettle have a set of buttons?

The unit is nicely designed for the most part. Love the controls on the base and not on the kettle itself. This is the one plus over the Cuisinart. However, I wonder if the base is water resistant in case of accidental sloshing. That would make it decidedly a flaw.Other nice feature is the digital temperature gauge.The one drawback is the handle heats up and gets to be too hot.I highly recommend the other water kettle I have owned for a couple of years with no problems:Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp 1.7-Liter Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle

Question: What utensil does the author prefer to use?

In our household, we use long spoons for everything: ice cream (even out of the pint container <g>, ice-cream sodas and tall glasses, smoothies, health drinks, and, of course, iced tea. And we use them to get to the bottom of tall cat and dog food cans, tomato sauce jars . . . just about everything! Teaspoons would have us holding on by our fingertips, so we need the length.These smooth spoons have a nice feel and fit on the lip. The bowl of the spoon is shallow enough that you don't leave ice-cream or peanut butter on the spoon--it all gets into your mouth.I'm very happy with the extra long handle length--about an inch and a half longer than my other, older "iced-tea spoons". And the price is excellent.My only complaint is that they are connected tightly to a piece of cardboard by covered wire. The wire was tedious to remove. One wire was broken and will require pliers to remove it because it is wrapped tightly around the neck of the spoon. Nevertheless, I will order more.

Question: Did the author purchase the item for themselves?

I bought this as a gift for my mother, so I can't review how this pan is in use. We are pretty picky about what we use in the kitchen, though, so I will say that this pan looks and feels like it will get the job done. With any pan this size, weight and balance can be a huge issue, especially for someone older or who has arthritis or other issues. The handle is solid, and a decent size... not so small that you can't get a good grip, but not bulky. The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid. The interior is smooth and consistent. I didn't see any areas that looked like the finish might be uneven or weak, inside or out. Of course, the true test will be when Mom puts it to use, but if it cooks as good as it looks, I may order another to put away until my current pan has to be replaced.

We are pretty picky about what we use in the kitchen, though, so I will say that this pan looks and feels like it will get the job done. With any pan this size, weight and balance can be a huge issue, especially for someone older or who has arthritis or other issues. The handle is solid, and a decent size... not so small that you can't get a good grip, but not bulky. The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid. The interior is smooth and consistent. I didn't see any areas that looked like the finish might be uneven or weak, inside or out. Of course, the true test will be when Mom puts it to use, but if it cooks as good as it looks, I <hl> may order another <hl> to put away until my current pan has to be replaced.


Question: What do they recommend to use the scale for?

I'm a culinary student and we have to have a scale. This one is great for stable use, but I don't recommend it for travel. The sensors are the 'feet' of the scale, so if I were to carry it in my knife bag, I expect it would break quickly. I leave it in my locker at school. It'll also be great at home when I'm done with school.

Question: What brand of scale is this?

I am pleased with the Omron scale. It seems accurate compared to our other scale and has a sleek simple design. I like that I just need to step on it to get a reading. We have another "fancier" scale that does BMI readings and so forth (can make you feel depressed on many more levels) and you have to press buttons to identify which user you are. That can be annoying at 4:00 AM. So the basic design is refreshing. One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change. This may be an issue with our floor (there is definitely a fat zone, where no scale is placed), but I am not sure.Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price.

Question: How long has the author owned the product?

I have had this product now for about one month and I love it! It keeps my salad greens cool and dry and the tray on top lets you keep your salad toppings just as you like them.. I put the wetter toppings on one side and the dryer toppings on the other. And the dressing container holds enough dressing. I really pack it in there. My salad is perfect every time. The latches work well, it has never come open. The knife and fork are a nice touch, they are sturdy enough, but I find that the tongs on the fork are too fat to pick up lettuce, so I bring my own along.. No biggie. Buy this. You will be happy with it!

Question: What material are the straws made from?

I love that these reusable straws are made of silicone (vs. metal) It's perfect for me since I like to bite down on my straws while drinking.The diameter of these straws do run larger than traditional "fast food" straws, but not quite as large as "boba" straws. Otherwise, the size works great for softdrinks (just bite down to a convenient diameter), and smoothies.And it is convenient that they come apart for easy cleaning. Just wish a cleaning brush were still included with the price.Also wish these could be available in more neutral/toned down colors. Adults drink out of straws too.

Question: What material is the scoop made from?

When they say solid stainless steel their not kidding. As far as scooping ice cream, it just works. I don't why it works so well but it does. This baby cuts through ice cream smoothly and effortlessly. It replaces one of those scoops with the liquid in the handle and the OXO scoop put that one to shame. I can honestly say this is the best ice cream scoop I've ever owned and I'm an old guy. It's solid and very, very strong you would need a 16 pound sledge hammer just to bend it. I do have one minor complaint, there was a sticker on the inside of the scoop itself that must have been applied with super glue or something because I had to soak it for almost 45 mins just to get the darn thing off. Aside from that minor thing this OXO ice cream xcoop is amazing.

Question: What is the brand name of the product?

For our wedding registry, we chose this Colorwave set. That was more than ten years ago. I liked it because the color (we have green) was attractive, and it wasn't too fancy for everyday use. The set has held up fine, with the exception that two out of twelve bowls have nicked. The bowls nick more easily than the plates and coffee mugs, which haven't nicked at all. Considering it's been ten years, I don't think the nicking problem is all that bad. I just have to be extra careful with the bowls. They tend to nick when I'm washing the dishes and accidentally bang them against one another.

Just got it for Christmas 2009.10/2011 I still love this and it has held up very well.

Question: What is the capacity of the bottom space?

I have struggled with space in tiny cabinets for years. I just wound up digging through tons of canned goods, wound up loosing small things and was generally unhappy about the whole situation. This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book.It's not especially strong palstic, but so far it been holding up well. I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far.
