Question: What time does this person have to make their lunch by?

This warmer is great for me since I keep kosher and have no other way of warming up food at work. After years of eating cold food I can finally have a warm meal at work.The unit itself is small so you can't fit too much in it, but for one persons lunch it is fine. For a unit so small though I would have expected it to warm my food quicker. I really need to put my lunch in by 9am if I want it at the right temp for lunch. This is a bit annoying because if I forget to put it in right away I am out of luck.The cord is very short so you will need an extension cord to use. You will want to be easily reached since there is no on/off so you will just have to keep unplugging it.Also the insert is metal which might sound ok but its kind of silly. It makes it too hot to remove so I sit here eating out of the entire crock pot, which just looks silly.Overall it works ok but I think you are better off getting a $10 standard 2qt crock pot, which will have a lot more options for a fraction of the price.

Answer: 9am

Question: What category are these towels classified under on Amazon?

These are nice towels. I will buy them again. I tried the little face towels first just to make sure I was getting something I would like before I invested in the full set.They are supremely soft. They pill just a little when you wash them, at first, but nothing too bad. It is to be expected considering the thread count. When they come out of the wash, they do get even softer. These are like high quality hotel towels. I am very pleased with this product. Not all 100% cotton products stay soft, but these have so far.I would buy again. Also, the price on Amazon is competitive. These come quickly and with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. They are also one of the top ranked towel products if you search on Amazon in Home and Kitchen under bath towels and sort by stars, which is what I did to find them in the first place.

Question: What doesn't fit with the coffee maker?

The coffee maker works and it is very stylish. I have had issues with the water pump after removing and refilling the tank. I often have to power it off and then on. The easiest solution to the pump problem is to not take the water chamber off of the base and just refill it with a pitcher as needed. Also living in a higher altitude, we needed to turn down the temperature and that seemed to help a lot too.If you have any travel mugs (like from Starbucks) that hold small or medium size coffee they don't fit with the coffee maker. Granted we just use a coffee mug and then transfer the contents, it would be nice not to have to use two items to make 1 cup of coffee or tea.

Question: What cutting boards are not good?

Any cutting board I can throw in the dishwasher has a piece of my heart. Not only is it easy to clean, it's thin enough not to take up much room in storage and it's attractive enough to leave out when company is over.I've been cutting fruit on it, and yes, the knife makes marks. I've never owned a cutting board that doesn't get marred with knives. That's just how they work. Better the board gets marred than my precious knives get dull. Boards that are too hard are no good.I like this board. The only thing missing is a groove around the edge to catch drippings.This product was provided for review by Slippery Kitchen.

Question: What brand of coffee machine has the reviewer sold?

OK, so I jumped on the K Cup Brewer bandwagon for about 2 months. I tried to like it, bought tons of K Cup beverages of all kinds but realized this just is not for me. I like real coffee, and the watered-down coffee this machine and all other brands like it just doesn't fill the bill.I've tried the extra bold K Cups that contain more coffee than the standard ones, but to no avail.Needless to say, I have sold the Cusinart, stopped using the Keurig at the jobsite and have gone back to a real brewer.This was for me just an overpriced, short-lived fad.

Question: What did the person purchase?

What a great hand mixer. It is inexpensive so I was worried, but I shouldn't have been. It comes with 3 different sets of beaters that store in a container that the mixer sits on. But that is not the best part. This mixer has SO much more umph than my old hand mixer ever had! I have used it on many different recipes and it has NEVER bogged down! Plus I went to the Hamilton Beach site and it has a 2 year warrenty to fix or replace. If you want a hand mixer that has all the gusto without having to drag out your full size mixer, this is the one for you!

Question: How many sections was this split into?

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 do most users now think a thermos is?

Ok, so 'Thermos' has long gone beyond being a simple brand name; most users now think of any generic insulated metal beverage container as a 'thermos' - but this little container reminds us once again of how Thermos got to be the standard. Pre-warmed, or pre-cooled as directed, this will absolutely and reliably keep hot beverages hot, and cold beverages cold ... for hours. It is compact enough to fit into the cupholders of most modern automobiles - which is not something one could say of the regular, old-fashioned full-sized Thermos. Alas, that very same handy size only holds 16 ounces - not enough to share a hot drink with a crowd. I anticipate though, that the next development in the Thermos line will be something like the Tardis, in that it has a bigger capacity on the inside then appears from the outside - say, holding a gallon, while still only appearing to have a 2-cup capacity. Until then, though -- this will do very nicely.

Question: What type of products do they own?

There are 3 great things about this hamper. It is collapsable, requires no tools to put together, and it has a lid that doesn't need to be opened and closed to put clothes in. Another plus is that it appears solid and should hold up. I put the lid on wrong at first; most of the lid goes on the inside. When the lid is on correctly, the sides don't fold in. The instructions didn't make sense, but the product picture is clear. I have many OXO products that are absolutely perfect, but I have a few little quibbles about this hamper. It looks utilitarian. The plastic-ish material (label says it is not PVC) looks like industrial plastic and the only venting is in the lid. Either wash quick or don't put damp thing in it. I like the suggestions in the OXO promotional video, which mentions toy storage or off-season clothes storage as possible uses. My experience with this type of products is spend a little more and it will last, so overall, I like it.

Question: What is the Smartstick perfect for making?

This replaced my first Cuisinart Smartstick which did rough duty for years before one of the blades broke on some ice (I'm not even sure you're supposed to used it on ice, but I did for years.)I use it VERY regularly. Its primary duty is making breakfast shakes/smoothies/frappachinos for my daughters before school. I love it because I can cook potatoes, carrots, etc and then blend them IN THE POT for various recipes. I have gifted it to others.VERY easy to clean. Most mornings I rinse well under hot water immediately after use and throw in the dish drainer and that's it. Every few days I cycle it through dishwasher on top rack. MUCH easier to clean than my old style hand blender.Con: It REALLY purees things...too creamy sometimes. For example, I don't use it for mashed potatoes anymore because they come out too creamy ... just a weird consistency, But for potato soup it is perfect.

Question: What level of firmness was the author looking for in a mattress?

I was looking for a very firm twin xl mattress. I'm a huge guy and need a very firm mattress to support my body weigh. The mattress arrived on time, unpacked it and let it expand for a day and a half, and then slept on it that night. It fits my needs without any problems. My whole body can relax once again, yet feel supported. I no longer wake up in the morning with my back hurting, as well as other aches and pains elsewhere from the old mattress.Only time will tell how long this mattress holds up. But hopefully it will last a few years. I will update my review as time goes on, but for now, I'm enjoying it.

Question: What might coffee absorb as a result of being stored in a plastic mug?

I'm trying to cut plastics out of our lives, slowly but surely. I don't like the idea of my hot coffee seeping in a plastic travel mug and absorbing those chemicals. This mug is metal completely except for the lid, so I'm compromising because the minimal contact with the plastic only while sipping is probably less dangerous than spilling boiling coffee on myself.Keeps my coffee very hot! Tight seal, no spills. I've even turned it upside down in my purse by accident when I was waking into work and no spill! My husband started borrowing my purple one because it keeps coffee so hot, so I got him a blue one and we're both happy now.

Question: How does the coffee made taste?

I just bought one on clearance at the local grocery. I just wanted to contribute that the coffee is just as hot and strong as when I used to make it. (I.e., the other reviews saying it's not hot or not strong may have defective units.).It's also easy to clean. The permanent fabric filter cup and drain cup come out. That's all that needs to be cleaned (except occasional wipe down, vinegar to decalcify, etc.).If you want to use a short mug, it will splatter. Solution is to use a small glass upside down. Sit the mug on top, so it's closer to the drip stream.

Question: What was the style of first mattress that made it so uncomfortable?

bought a air mattress from local Wal-Mart.(NOT a Serta) daughter and son in law used it over holiday stay over and was so uncomfortable they could not use it a 2nd night. intending to return to store for money back, or store credit, I ordered the serta queen from amazon the next morning. it was here in 2 days. been using on and off since dec. 2013. has held its air since dec. and it is now march. very comfortable. by the way, wal mart refused to take mattress back. had to exchange for identical product, (pointless!) or a air mattress of greater expense. (I refuse to dig a deeper hole with walmart!!!) so if anyone wants a washboard style air mattress, I have one for sale. like new! the serta mattress is excellent for an air mattress, and amazon return policy is superior if needed.

Question: What do you need to do to keep the beers from freezing inside?

Some beers just taste better cold. Have you ever noticed how the first sip of an ice cold beer is always the best? Or have you noticed how some bars server certain beers in frosted mugs? They know that some beers just taste better when kept cold. I like some beers at a warmer temperature, but for others these mugs are awesome.We just keep them in the freezer upside down, pour the beer in slowly down the inside of the mug and enjoy. These things get so cold they will freeze some of the beer to the inside of the mugs. If you're going to be sitting inside you might want to let the mugs warm up slightly before use to prevent too much of the beer from freezing inside. If you are outside in the warmer air then get ready for beer drinking perfection. :)

Answer: warm up slightly before use

Some beers just taste better cold. Have you ever noticed how the first sip of an ice cold beer is always the best? Or have you noticed how some bars server certain beers in frosted mugs? They know that some beers just taste better when kept cold. I like some beers at a warmer temperature, but for others these mugs are awesome. We just keep them in the freezer upside down, pour the beer in slowly down the inside of the mug and enjoy.

Question: how clear are the containers/plastic boxes?

I'm horribly disorganized. Well, not really, but my husband couldn't seem to find things on the wire shelves in our kitchen. Until [dramatic music] Attack of the Mouse Horde.Suddenly it was necessary to put foodstuffs and other items in large plastic boxes; even though they are translucent enough to see through, they're still a little opaque. At a distance it was difficult to discern exactly what was where. I knew where the bread box was, but he'd end up taking two or three off the shelf when he wanted to make a sandwich.Incidentally, the box idea worked. We are no longer bothered by the [fading dramatic music] Mouse Horde.Enter Ziggyboard. I'd gotten these spice jar labels to ID spices in a glass jar set; the idea of being able to rewrite is ideal for my purpose. With the left-over labels (there are plenty of labels if you're only doing spices) I could ID the plastic boxes. Interesting result and totally unexpected.I can find things myself far more easily. Husband can find the bread and now knows where to stash things; in the past I would periodically put things away he'd left out. With such clarity of organization now present in my kitchen, I began looking for other things to use labels on, and whole cabinets were cleared, cleaned, and reorganized.I've now purchased the rectangular label version in an attempt to tame the worst of all problem rooms: my sewing/crochet/art studio. Honestly, one would think I had a hoarding problem or something...

Question: Where did the author buy the bucket?

I almost didn't buy this unit, as there were a number of reviews which were troubling. However, I am very happy I took the plunge.I've used it several times so far, and it's exceeded my expectations completely. I have had no issues whatsoever with unpopped kernels or popcorn shooting out all over the place. It's easy, it's fast, and it makes fabulous popcorn.I do let it heat up for about a minute before I add the popcorn, and then it does it's job perfectly. I used a full measure of popcorn, and when it was done there was not even one unpopped kernel. Not one. I have a large plastic popcorn bucket which I bought in Target, and I placed it right in front of the chute. The popcorn landed exactly where it was supposed to - in the bucket. The only problem, and this was my fault, it filled up the bucket with popcorn so quickly that I wasn't prepared with another empty container to put in it's place. Now I'm fully prepared. I used White Cat Corn popcorn, so perhaps it's a cut above, because everything popped.Bottom line - this machine does an excellent job, and i can't imagine how it can do any better. I've also got a glass Catamount microwave popper (awful), and a giant commercial type popper. This is superior to both.

Question: what aspect of this product is different than other models?

I've had this product for several years and like it, though I don't use it much. It has a heavier than usual thickness compared to other FoodSaver containers. It stands up better (though I read a review from another that said it cracks, like the canisters) It is easy to use. I use it for left overs more than marinating. It does marinate well, and it's a good sized container. It's flaws are that it can't be used in the microwave and you really can't take it and go, to a party for instance. It also isn't stackable with other marinators (I have two) and it takes up a lot of space in your cabinet. I put the lid upside down in the marinator bottom and stack them that way. The lid doesn't lock without the vacuum sealing, so once it's opened it isn't good for transporting if you're away from home, or moving the liquid left overs from the BBQ back to the kitchen without the threat of spilling. I would like to be able to take it from the refrigerator to the microwave to heat up leftovers or to a party with snacks and have the lid snap back on when it's time to go home or...... Maybe the next generation?????

Question: Can the humidifier hold a good amount of water? How long does it last?

I read tons of the reviews on here before purchasing this product. I ended up buying the Owl, and I am in love. I have been using it for 4 days so far and I have had no problems with burning electronics, noise level, it using too much water, etc.I can barely hear it. I think the noise level is on par with our ceiling fan, which runs all year long except in the winter. It produces a nice little stream of cool mist and after the first night of use I woke up without a dry, sore throat and nose. My apartment is so dry I have been getting nose bleeds in the morning from my nose cracking. It has been WONDERFUL! I feel so much better.I was hesitant about buying a $40 humidifier when I could get a Vick's hot steam from Walgreens for $12. I am glad I bought this instead. With the cool steam, I am not worried about my place catching fire from a faulty heating element.I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights. I have been using high purity water to prevent mineral build up and hopefully this little guy will last me a long time.

Question: What kind of plug did this come with?

Considering that most high quality decanters come without stoppers, this simple object should be essential for most wine lovers. We don't often decant wine, and when we do, we usually consume the whole bottle in one evening. However, this stopper is perfect for those times when you can't finish the wine the same day. It is high quality glass, free of bubbles and defects. It is satisfyingly heavy and very good quality. Additionally, it fits both of our decanters (Spiegelau and Riedel) perfectly, giving us the chance to enjoy the wine in decent condition the next day. We are very pleased with it.

Question: Where did the writer find the product?

I purchased one of these about 2 years ago from a housewares store, (I thought Bed,Bath, & Beyond). Anyway, I use mine to keep powdered sugar in. Since I bake a lot, it has come in handy quite a bit. It's so convenient to store with the airtight cap. About a year ago I started looking for another one for cocoa powder and had been unable to find it, until now on Amazon! I'm so happy!UPDATE 8/23/09 - I'm reducing my 4 stars to 2! I had submitted the previous review before receiving the item. This particular one is much bigger than the one I already have. Mine must be about 4 oz. Anyway, the size is not the major disappointment, the shaker lid does not fit snug. I have horrible visions of this top flying off and wasting my cocoa powder all over the place. Also, with the lid not fitting snug, it would not keep the powder fresh while it was stored in it. Sorry if my previous review persuaded someone to purchase this item. I no longer comment on any items until I actually receive them.

Question: What feature do the clips have that make it convenient?

These work really nicely for clamping bags of chips shut tightly. The magnets are convenient as these clamps stick right on the chalkboard door of my pantry. The tips that actually grip the bag are rubber coated. It's higher quality than it needs to be but I find that satisfying and typical of OXO products.

Question: is the reviewer planning on purchasing more of these mattress covers?

I've tried so many mattress covers and found they're either noisy or cause my sheets to not fit correctly. I found neither of these a problem with this cover. The top layer is like a terry cloth towel and the sides are a mesh like material. It fit our king size mattress perfectly and my sheets slid on without a problem. I'm planning to purchase more for my children's twin beds. We have cheap covers on those at the moment and their sheets are always sliding up. I haven't tested the water resistant factor, and hopefully won't have to. With that said I think it could handle a minor spill, but honestly anything but a plastic cover isn't going to protect 100%. I for one refuse to sleep on plastic so hopefully this will help prolong the life of my new mattress.Update: Puppy barfed on our bed, and this cover did an excellent job of protecting our treasured mattress.

Question: What kind of people would love a product like this?

This is a great ice cream maker and does indeed do what it says. I have made tomato, green tea, avocado and sweet corn ice cream and they all tasted great! This is great for the type of people who like to try new recipes and make their own food products from scratch. This ice cream maker is also a good price, and easy to set up. There is one issue, which is that the mixer can sometimes freeze up and stop stirring. The combination of salt and ice causes the mixer to become too cold and it needs warming in order to get going again. This is simply a minor inconvenience and it was easy to fix.

Question: Is the heater loud?

I love this heater as it can fit in any corner of the house and do the job of keeping it warm. The colour is great as it blends into any colour scheme and the weigh is great as it can easily be lifted. This is the best lil heater ever as it is also quiet and the light on top lets you know that it is plugged in or 'on'. The heater also acts as a fan wow! It can blow cool air as well as hot air. It has many adjustment speeds to suit your preference. And it really does not look like the traditional heater. The shipment speed was great from amazon and love this. Would highly recommend this item.

Question: Where did the person search for products to buy?

Love it... however it does not have an on/off switch. I knew this when I bought it. I give it a four because I think the manf should put an on//off switch on it. I had an old faithful popcorn popper and could not find one to reorder. I researched on Amazon, and this one seemed to fit the need. Works great! Per other recommendations, I did let the popper heat up a few minutes before I put in the popcorn and a little bit of popcorn oil. I only use Orville popcorn, and it popped beautifully. No leftover kernels. I do not use the butter melter on the top of the bowl. Once popcorn stops popping, flip over and remove the base... no burnt popcorn either!

Question: How much does a good electric grinder cost?

Pros: 1. This thing does a very good job of producing an even fine grind.2. Its cheap and portable. Great for camping.Cons: 1. It does take about 4 minutes to make 2 shots worth of coffee for my AeroPress.2. If you use it at the office, people will think you're a dork and the noise will annoy them.3. Further evidence that you're a cheap SOB. Don't break this thing out on a first date.This does what it does perfectly, but for making several cups of coffee at a time, consider a good electric burr grinder. You can get one that works fine for about $80. I did, and this thing went in my kitchen camping box.

Question: How much coffee does the reviewer put into each portion they make?

I love cold-filtered coffee. But I don't like purchasing a $3 cup every morning. This Hario Water Brew Coffee Pot generates a lovely cup of cold coffee. Yes, it takes A LOT of coffee (I use 22 tablespoons for each batch I make) but coffee that emerges tastes rich and strong, just how I prefer it. I let the coffee brew 24 hours on the countertop and the results are consistent. Clean up is easy too; I just use a strainer and pour the granules into the trash. I use this device every day; yes, it's that good.

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 item did I get that I know I will be satisfied?

When I first got this coffee maker I knew it had the features I was wanting. I had a problem with it shutting off before the water was all pumped through. I was just about ready to send it back when I went on line and read about when it does that to push the valve down in the bottom of the water tank. It did the trick and I couldn't be happier with this little gem! You might have some over flow out of the grounds basket if you use a fine grind. It seems to work better with regular store grinds allowing the water to flow through them faster and not cause back up. Having it's own filter and basket is nice and the filter hasn't stained.

Question: What blows a gentle breeze?

It's a great little fan and it sits on my desk blowing a gentle breeze my way right now. I run it almost 24/7 because I can never remember to turn it off after I get done leaving my valuable opinion on Amazon about the products I buy late at night in a stupor of despair and self pity.

Question: From what online ecommerce service were the filters purchased from?

I am new to Reverse Osmosis (RO) filter sys. I bought a Intellitec water purity tester to check water quality. The tester reads Total Dissolved Solids(TDS), in parts per million (PPM).

Question: What is annoying and should be addressed on the box?

I love baking my own bread and needed something to help me cut the slices evenly. This item works for the most part, but the plastic end has warped which makes for an uneven cut. I would suggest making the end more sturdy and less susceptible to bend.

Question: When does the auto foaming fail?

The machine works great. Just pour in milk and twist the knob for foam, anyone can do it. Other machines have the steam "stem" and you had to have a good technique to get good foam, this one is idiot proof.The auto foaming only fails when we use heavy cream. Milk, Half and half etc all worked perfectly for us. What happens when it doesn't and what the others mean by "leaking" is that the machine combines steam and Milk from a "Milk reservoir", if whatever you are using is too heavy to be sucked up through the straw, it will slowly just push from the top and eventually "leak" from the front of the machine. It gives plenty of warning because if it doesn't start dispensing foam within a few seconds , then something is wrong.We mainly use ours for coffee and foam. Which is does well, you don't need to have the espresso handles on the machine as there is a turn valve that eliminates the "dummy plugs" with other machines.Like anything under $400 these days, it's mainly plastic so we're hoping to get at least a year or two out of it. The foaming mechanism is clever but could be improved to avoid the "leaking" that sometimes occurs, but overall we would buy this one again over any of the others for the price range.

Question: How did the reviewer find the price?

This device does exactly what it advertises, at an extremely reasonable price. It's also very compact and easy to store, easy to clean, and narrow enough to reach into narrower bottles or cups. I tried a devoted frothing unit with pitcher and was disappointed, then chose this and have been extremely happy.Use this frother, along with a Bialetti stovetop espresso maker and your own skim milk, plus whatever other ingredients you like, and you have Starbucks for about a quarter (or less) of the retail price.For me, it's Illy Moka Normale coffee in the Bialetti, microwaved skim milk, one long shot of sugar-free Hershey's chocolate syrup, and a dollop of Starbucks peppermint syrup, then froth with the Aerolatte. Starbucks Peppermint Mocha at less than a dollar and 130 calories instead of 4.79 and 350 calories.

Question: What size bed does the author have?

This is an amazing product - When I ordered it I was concerned that because if was queen/king it would be stretched to the hilt to fit around my king-sized bed - but not the case - Plenty of room to spare - and it was long enough for my extra-deep mattress. It went on so easily - just pull the elastic over the mattress and down the sides. It stays in place beautifully and requires no ironing - it was virtually wrinkle-free - I just touched it up in the dryer for a few minutes. So nice to be able to order this in colors - gives a much more 'finished' look to the bedroom.... Gone are the days of trying to get my mattress over the dust ruffle without tugging / clipping and eventually ripping it... I will never go back to a full bed ruffle again....

Question: What is being reviewed?

I was at first very impressed with the cutting board. After I had it for a few months, the planks began to separate on one side. It warped; and I was faithfully wiping it with cutting board oil after each use, and I never submerged it into the water. I would not recommend wood for a cutting board, go with the white poly cutting boards instead. I ended up purchasing a Stanton Trading 15 by 20 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board later on. It's much better.

Question: How many marked increments for precise measurement are on each side?

As I've gotten into home mixology, I've realized that I need proper tools. This OXO double jigger fits the bill perfectly!Each side has three very clearly marked increments for very precise measurements. While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially. This is also dishwasher safe. I typically keep it tucked away, but while out, this is a very nice looking piece of equipment, perfectly matching many other items like myOXO Good Grips Steel Cocktail Shaker(also highly recommended).Perfect execution on a necessary bar tool at a wonderful price. A real must-buy!

Question: Where do the accessories get stored

This vacuum cleaner is good, solid value. I've owned many units in this same price point, and this may be the best so far. It has strong suction and brush action. It's well-constructed, compact, and easy to assemble. It has a dial to adjust to various surfaces and works well on all carpet thicknesses as well as bare floors. Accessory attachments include a turbo brush and upholstery brush and extension tube, which all fit neatly on the back of the unit for storage. Not industrial strength and no deluxe bells and whistles, but definitely gets the job done for basic home use.

Question: Although is was too big for them, why did they keep it?

I'm such a sucker for the stars ratings. This one got 4 four stars at the time of purchase so I thought it would be a good bet. When we got it, I immediately realized that I didn't take into consideration the size of it. There are only two coffee drinkers in our house and this is just way too big for our needs. We decided to keep it since we occasionally have guests over but for the 1-2 cups that we brew on a daily basis, this is way too big. It's very tall and the carafe is difficult to pour from unless it's full. Normally, we only have 2 cups in there and trying to get out that very last bit usually results is spilling it onto the counter. The carafe manages to keep the coffee warm even though it's not heating it but it's not super hot as well. I like my coffee HOT, so I pop it into the microwave for another 30 seconds. All it all, it makes a decent cup of joe but I would look at other coffeemakers if you don't need the 12-cups.

Question: After what will these pots cook great?

What can be said about this pot other than awsome....extremly well constructed. We (coonasses) live in Louisiana and love too cook, these pots once seasoned, cook great and last forever ... minus the Handle (knob) on the lid, it being plastic will give up it's ghost after a few cooking sessions, but can be easyly replaced w/ a cabinet knob purchased at the local hardware store, but once that is done it's forever faithful. and I can say a cabinet knob being wood customizes my lids quite nicely. I know my Lid anywhere :)
