Best cup of coffee I've ever had!
After returning my month old Cuisinart thermal carafe coffee maker to the store where I'd purchased it (see that review!), I stopped off at the local thrift store to browse. While looking at the housewares, I spotted an old electric percolator that had never been used (the cord was still wrapped!). I purchased it. I figured if it didn't work I was only out three bucks, and if it did work, I'd be in for a treat! Well, after a little bit of research I found this to be the Farberware 2-12 cup percolator that has recently come back into popularity. Mine is the older model (made in the Bronx!) but it works like it was just newly made!

Seriously, the best cup of coffee I've ever tasted. Nice and hot, with no nasty paper filter taste. Easy to fill. Easy to pour. Easy to clean. Brews hot, stays hot, and doesn't take up all the room on your kitchen counter that all these new coffee makers do.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Just missed it's second birthday
I've had this percolator for 2 years and it's been largely a disappointment. 2 issues over time.

The first was the quality of the coffee. Over time I noticed that the coffee was becoming weaker. This was most evident by the color as I would add creme. I battled this by adding more grinds. Not sure if that helped immensely, but it made me feel better.

The second was that the base with the heating element became somewhat warped and was not meeting the body of the pot cleanly. This was leading to water getting into the element despite my best effort during cleaning.

Then last night, it up and died after just short of 2 years. Last night was December 23rd. That meant I had to go buy a new coffee pot on Xmas Eve in absolutely horrible driving coniditions. I picked up a Presto 2811 this morning. It got very good reviews here so I thought I'd give it a chance. Keeping my fingers crossed. Happy Holidays!

Love it!
This product increases the functionality of my Artisian Kitchaid mixer to a whole new level. It increases the ease and speed of which I can cook, and especially prepare vegetables, salads, and slaws.

Worked great - until it broke!
My Rabbit worked like a charm for about a case of wine. Then it started giving me problems on the retracting stroke. The corkscrew just spun out instead of pulling the cork. After a few additional tries it would work sporadically. After a few more bottles the handle broke, rendering the whole thing useless. After reading all the problems customers are having with this company's "customer service" I have decided to throw this thing in the garbage where it belongs and go back to my old lever style screw-and-pull cork remover - 10 years and it still works fine!

Makes opening wine simple
After years of fighting with trying different wine openers to cleanly open a bottle we often ended up with a broken cork and more frustration. This wine opener makes it almost idiot prof to open a bottle fast and effectively. It works smoothly and with minimal effort. A great wine opener.

Check Probes before use - good thing you have 2 temp. probs
I was so excited to get this device. Each year I cook a Prime Rib - (bone in). My family really like it rare. Unfortunately I had bad probes or 1 bad probe. 1 of the probes was anywhere from7' to 23' off from the other probe. The company was great is sending me 2 new probes, but that was after cooking this special Xmas dinner, so check out the probes before using them.

Maverick Remote read Thermometer a dissappointment
This unit is suppossed to have a range of 100 feet but loses communication with nothing but open air between transmitter and receiver at 50 to 75 feet. Nice features on the receiver but My main reason for purchase was the remote capability, which does not work well. I believe my wireless router for the computer may be the cause, but that should have been taken into account in the design of the unit. A stronger transmitter or better receiver would make this into a 5 star unit.

Pretty Good For Decaf
I have to admit that I am a full caf coffee lover, but I can't drink caffeine after 3-4PM if I want to sleep. This is a very good substitute, much much better tasting than other decaf's I've tried. In fact for the past few mornings I've been drinking this instead AND enjoying it.



coffee pods
Arrived on time - it's less expensive at Amazon than in the gocery stors, assuming you can even find Seneo's decaffeinted coffee, which I usualy can't.

Everything I hoped for
This cookie press was everything I hoped for! It is durable, easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to put together. I loved all the different press shapes and the cookies came out great. I would definitely recommend it.

WORKS GREAT, LOVE IT!
This cookie press works so good! It is my first press and I am so impressed with it. As long as you make the dough correctly, you won't have any problems. I would definately suggest this product to anyone!

A nice regular waffle maker
My wife and I hate belgian style waffles and have been searching for a long time to find a decent classic waffle iron. We found this one here and decided to give it a try. We've used other Cuisinart products in the past and have liked their quality. This waffle maker is no different. It has various power settings so you can make your waffle as crispy or soft as you like.

We've been using it for 3-4 months now and are still pleased with it. It doesn't drip batter out anywhere when closing the lid (unless you overfill it) and makes nice, evenly cooked waffles. My only complaint is that I would prefer my waffles even thinner, but that's mainly due to my preference for more European style thin waffles.

No reason to waffle on this maker
This little appliance has proven to be a dependable performer over the last four years, generally used two or three times per week. I've yet to encounter any consistent problems with sticking batter although it is the case that in addition to initial seasoning of the plates as suggested in the owner's manual, we have also generally brushed on a thin coat of vegetable oil prior to the first batch of the day. With five browning settings, with a bit of experimentation the user can arrive at a setting that is perfect for individual preferences and as noted, over four years I haven't noticed any variations in the results as the unit ages. Browning is consistent over all surface areas so long as the batter is evenly dispersed.

The most aggravating aspects have been the requirement to monitor the cooking cycle because it is not uncommon to become distracted during preparation and the absence of an audible cycle completion signal has resulted in some rather toasty concoctions from time to time. The appliance also lacks an on/off switch so it begins to heat as soon as it is plugged in. While the plates are not removable cleanup has never been a major issue, just cleaning out the crevices with a non-abrasive sponge whenever some excess batter was evident, after the unit had cooled down.

However, with consideration to dependability and overall convenience, the WMR-CA is a definitive price performer.

great sale, great coffee
If you are lucky enough to have a Senseo Coffeemaker you know how good the pods are and what great coffee they make. This was an excellent price on the pods, and shipping was very fast.
