Comments on: Applicance fun http://hitesman.com/jason_blog/wordpress/2008/03/30/applicance-fun/ The latest in a chain of attempts to keep friends and family updated about what I've been doing, just finished doing or am thinking about doing. Or at least what I want people to think I've done am doing or will be doing.

I don't remember just what it was though - was it a steam pressure machine or did it have a pressure pump to make the full 9 bars for true espresso? Either way I'm sure I'll give it a try next time I visit. But for now I think it can continue to gather dust at your house. As for beans, I'm guessing you haven't read my next post yet. (Highly likely since apparently I messed up when writing it and it was unavailable until just a few minutes ago!) I'm not so much looking for a favorite coffee, as I am looking to explore the differences between them. So I'm up for trying a cup of anything - but right now it's the ritual of preparing the beans and brewing that I find most attractive rather than the finished cup. Those cups are growing on me though. I remember your machine, you were quite enamored of it last time I visited it seemed.

I can't stand Starbucks and most of the other "Seattle" brands of coffee. Your grandparents always relied on "8 O'Clock" brand and never failed to get rave reviews. Lately we've been using "Dunkin' Donuts" from Costco and it's not bad at all. Favorite espresso was their dark roast from World Market. I'd buy the beans and use their grinder for a medium espresso grind. We’ve got an espresso machine gathering dust in the “Mommy store” if you’re interested.
