The process of grinding fresh coffee beans every morning results in static cling. Accept this as a given and all is well. The Capresso model 565 is the high end grinder offering from a high end coffee machine manufacturer.

Shaving in the shower is comfortable, easy, and convenient. Unfortunately, the Z'Fogless doesn't help users get a good shave.

Most portable air conditioners cost a lot more. Free of most of the electronic gimmickry that is common on most portable, the Haier does just what it is intended to do.

During that time, the deli has grown, the menu has expanded, its much-loved owner was murdered, and its food has been consistent or better than it was originally.
