Basics: It is a small version of the standard Moka Express pot. You unscrew the top from the bottom. You fill the bottom, which is a water tank,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424141229700 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 13:06:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424141229700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423122996868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - A coffee press makes coffee drinking an impressive experience without much extra effort. Basically you place a scoop of course ground coffee, fine ground will clog it's filter, in the glass beaker. You then boil water in whatever pot you prefer,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423122996868 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 17:51:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423122996868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423083413124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - I found my Moka Express pot stored in my mother's attic, and she let me keep it. It was stamped 1973. The rubber gasket was no longer flexible but I was able to purchase a genuine Bialetti replacement part at J and R in NYC for $3.50.

Unlike the Aprilaire 500 and 600 it's design reuses, rather than discharges, excess water. Water flows down through the evaporator pad as hot air passes through the pad. The excess water... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411151273604 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 23:40:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411151273604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_317292580484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - If you have $200 to blow, and like the design, you buy a Venta. Inside the Venta air cleaner is a water tank with a plastic revolving water wheel, and a fan that blows air onto the water wheel.

It is a well made product, the bugs have been worked out. This is not a prototype, it really works. Assembly was smooth. After an hour of trying I was able... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~226725891716 Sat, 15 Apr 2006 21:24:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_226725891716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_220915011204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - I bought this thing off eBay for $70 inc shipping & NYC tax. It saved me the cost of a new laptop. The sound is fantastic. A power user might have some quibbles but a normal person will be amazed. A nice extra was the included software. I have a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~220915011204 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 23:11:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_220915011204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_215378595460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - The grind is not uniformly coarse so it clogs up my Bodum coffee press (I admit the product does say drip coffee maker.) As to the taste. It is a nice change from my usual Chock Full of Nuts, but not really an improvement. The orangeish color is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~215378595460 Mon, 26 Dec 2005 22:03:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_215378595460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_211038015108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - I use it for all my coffee and tea preparation. You can even leave coffee and cold water overnight for the same result as a "cold water toddy". You would need to buy a larger one if you planned to use it for a party. It is not heated and takes 3 and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~211038015108 Sun, 13 Nov 2005 02:10:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_211038015108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210705616516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - It has most of the tools you will need. A bit hard to use in tight places. It is large enough to give you enough leverage to tighten things. You will need a small adjustable wrench if you want to remove pedals. The allen keys are a bit short, so as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210705616516 Wed, 9 Nov 2005 12:09:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210705616516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209573613188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - SO FAR THIS BIKE COST NEARLY $800 AND A LOT OF TIME. I REALLY WISH I BOUGHT SOMETHING ELSE. Most of the parts that ship are crummy or at best cheap. Many parts are ferrous metals that rust. Mechanical Problems: 1) The cheapo crank set was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209573613188 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 20:53:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209573613188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_183451291268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mrgeorgef - I paid $55 (inc shipping) for this, which is occasionally available, on woot.com. It think it is ok, but not much more. If you really want one wait for it to hit $40 or less on closeout sites. If you are going to pay full price go for something that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~183451291268 Mon, 16 May 2005 22:37:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_183451291268?linkin_id=8003929
