Customer Review: Just right for my use
I've had this coffee maker a month now and use it daily. It makes excellant coffee. The basket inside the pot is different but not a problem once I got used to it. Once I had a few grounds in the coffee but then started removing the basket and dumping the grounds before pouring and solved that issue. A pause and serve would be a nice feature if you're in a big hurry, however, I don't miss that because it brews fast. The only improvement I would like to have is an auto shut off, but I've gotten used to making sure I cut it off when I get my last cup. The grinder is quiet and easy to clean since the grinding chamber lifts off the motor. One full pot provides me two xtra large mugs of coffee and one regular size mug for my wife. Overall this was the perfect coffee maker for us.
Customer Review: Most sensible coffeemaker yet.
After eyeing this product for over a year at a local retailer, I finally asked my children for one for Mother's Day this year. I make coffee about three times a week - in other words, I'm no addict or even particularly an aficionado - but I love this coffeemaker! Although the grinder is the simple sort, not burr type, it does well enough, and the removable grinder cup makes it a snap to keep clean. Unlike some combination grinder/brewers, there is no risk of steam ruining the grinding mechanism because the operations are well separated. The water well is easy to read and easy to fill, even without removing it from the body of the machine. It doesn't hurt either that there is a suggested guideline on how much water to add for iced coffee or tea. I actually like that the brewbasket fits into the carafe instead of being attached to the machine. This is a much cleaner design. The heating element does not turn itself off, so there might be old hot coffee, but never old cold coffee, unless you planned it that way. My only caution is regarding the #2 Medelco gold filter that so many users recommend. I just got mine in the mail and it is not a perfect fit. It definitely pops up. I really like the way this coffee maker looks, performs, and cleans up. Get your's through Amazon for the best price.
Most of us live busy lives these days and for all too many of us exercise often takes a back seat to everything else that we have going on. However, at a time when most of us are engaging in less and less physical activity and eating more and more prepared convenience foods, fitting some exercise into our daily schedule is becoming increasingly important. So, if you find yourself falling into this category then here are five simple ideas for fitting a little exercise into your working day.
1. Take a packed lunch with you to work. Most of us nowadays pop out for lunch, often with some of our co-workers, and often choose less than healthy food options which we wash down with a large cup of coffee or two. Instead take your packed lunch out for a walk (or better still a run) and, when you get tired, stop off to eat.
2. Try 'working out' instead of 'vegging out'. At the end of most working days there are usually a couple of programs on the television that I like to catch to help me unwind and relax. However, instead of stretching out on the couch (probably with a packet of biscuits and a cup of coffee) try doing some exercise and watching the television at the same time. This can be as simple as doing some stretching exercises, sit ups or light weight lifting or, if you are really serious about your exercise, why not set up a small home gym in the house and watch your favorite program while using an exercise bike or a treadmill.
3. Try to reduce the number of coffee breaks you have during the day. It is surprising just how coffee breaks can eat into the day and if you make a note of how long you spend on coffee breaks in an average day you will probably be amazed at just how much time they all add up to. One idea might be to simply roll these breaks up into just a couple of longer breaks each day and use this time to take some exercise, even if it is just walking around your office building or climbing a few flights of stairs. You will also find that the endorphins which your body produces as a result of even a little bit of exercise will do more to stimulate you that your cup of coffee!
4. Make exercise part of your social life. We all like to get out with our friends and chew over the problems of the world but, instead of sitting around in your local bar or coffee shop to do so, why not find a more challenging venue and combine your socializing with a game of badminton, squash or even bowling.
5. Try a little housework. Okay, I can hear a lot of you throwing up your hands in horror but many forms of housework such as cleaning the kitchen, washing down the bathroom, mowing the lawn (not with your favorite ride-on lawn mower), and digging over the vegetable patch are all great forms of exercise. They don't do your house any harm either.
These are just a few simple ideas and I am sure that you can come up with many more of your own. It really doesn't matter what you do, as long as you fit some exercise into your daily routine. And remember, if you haven't done any exercise for a while, take it slow at first and build yourself up gradually.
