DeLonghi EC702 Espresso Maker

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Steam driven machines, pros: fast, inexpensive, durable, can be left unattended while brewing, integrated frothing wand, more flexibility in the size of the brew, cons: Espresso quality while similar to that of the stove top cannot match that of a pump driven machine, no crema, coffee gets cold fast.
Pump driven machines, pros: great tasting coffee with crema, integrated frothing wand and other convenient features, cons: always more expensive, lots of parts and electronics makes them pron to fail or wear much faster than the two other types, brewing requires full attention and some technique, DeLonghi EC702 Espresso Maker needs priming too so this are not machines for people on the run.

Price Pfister 040-YP0K Ashfield Vessel Faucet, Satin Nickel

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

This is a beautiful, elegant fixture that adds real value and beauty to our new vessel sinks. One minor warning, though. The description offered for the faucet does not mention that it comes with a drain (open grid style) so I ordered a drain as …

DeLonghi EC5 Espresso and Cappuccino Maker

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

I love this little machine! I purchased the first one in 2004 after reading excellent reviews on the “crema” quality. We’ve used DeLonghi EC5 Espresso and Cappuccino Maker everyday for the last 5 years and look forward to it every morning. I’m an Americano drinker and have found the way to get the strongest, smoothest flavor from DeLonghi EC5 Espresso and Cappuccino Maker is to pull a double shot, then add half an inch of boiling water, then cream. Delicious! Here in Seattle, I use local Lighthouse Roasters or Longbeach Roasters coffee beans at home. The freshness of these high quality coffees makes our home espresso drinks as good as we’d get at a cafe. The second machine I just bought today is for the office, where I’ve been spending way too much money running to the corner cafe for coffee in the afternoon. Since I purchased our first machine 5 years ago, the price of this unit has dropped by half (I paid $65 for the first one). I’m hoping the popularity of DeLonghi EC5 Espresso and Cappuccino Maker has allowed DeLonghi to drop the price and not the quality.

Cisco-Linksys E3000 Router

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Desiring to try WiFi with a growing assortment of devices in the family and a three node network of old Mac desktops on a hard wired Ethernet, based on the reviews here on Amazon, I purchased the E3000/WET610N discount special. Opened the E3000 box, switched the jacks from my Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL router to the E3000, ran the enclosed CD on my G5 PowerPC Mac running OSX 10.5.8, followed the directions and in about six minutes, our new WiFi system was up and running, connected hard wired to the existing three nodes, and talking WiFi to two iPOD Touches, and my grandson’s school furnished Apple laptop. Tomorrow I’ll add the WET610N and have my LG550
BluRay player on line downstairs on our living room 46″ Samsung for streaming videos.
Don’t understand the problems expressed in some of the earlier reviews.

Zeikos ZE-LCH1 Lens Cap Keeper

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Though it looks a little flimsy and the surface area of the adhesive piece is smaller than I would have liked, so far so good, it is holding.
It is much more convenient to have this tether than to have to take time to put the cap in a pocket.
Now clipping the cap to Zeikos ZE-LCH1 Lens Cap Keeper strap, I feel a little more secure with the tether being there as well.
Why Canon did not put a tether is beyond me.

Canon LP-E6 Battery Pack

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

I bought this as a backup for my new 7d. I decided to go with the name brand this time. I had a third party battery backup for my Rebel and it only lasted a year. Nothing worse than shooting away thinking the spare in your pocket is on deck any minute – wait for a break in the action to make the battery switch and popping in a dead battery. Ouch, that hurt. So in this case I went with the recommended brand name.

The cost was average, Canon LP-E6 Battery Pack for Select Canon Digital SLR Cameras arrived within 7 days. No problems – no complaints.

Weber 3880001 Natural Gas Grill

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

We got this grill several months ago, and our son and I assembled it in about an hour, with no real trouble. It worked perfectly right from the start (I was always a charcoal grill person–Weber kettle–before this, with very little experience using a gas grill). It started fast and got up to about 550 degrees right away, and it was fairly easy to clean, except for the inclined drip catcher; but I probably overdid cleaning that (trying to get it back to mint condition). Even in 32-degree weather with the wind blowing on it, the grill heats up well for searing things. The key is that it is very solidly made, with first-rate materials and thoughtfully designed. Weber just plain knows what it is doing and doesn’t cut corners. That makes it worth the money.
