The kind of mug anyone can love.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - I like coffee. A lot. In the morning I pull my own double-shot of espresso and add 6oz of water to make a lovely Americano. Ordinarily, this went in my stainless-steel travel mug. What could be better, right? Well, all travel mugs that I've seen...

Powerful, flexible, beautiful. Hard to configure.

Macap M-4 Electric Blades Grinder: A cut (grind?) above the rest

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:48:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - Ask anyone who makes their own espresso what the most important part of their equipment setup is. 9 out of 10 will tell you it's the grinder, and the 10th one will be wrong. I have seen it said time and time again: you will get a better shot with a...

A good head unit that is almost great

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 11:58:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - I purchased this head unit from Crutchfield for my 2003 Toyota Tacoma. Since I know you're reading this review to learn about all the things I didn't like, I'll start there. USB Interface: My biggest gripe. Not the way it works, but the...

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 12:45:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - Grind your own beans! Few things will make your coffee taste better than using freshly ground beans - fresh ground beans made a black coffee drinker out of me. Since you're reading this you knew that already. A bit about grinders...

My bread gets stoned every weekend!

Tue, 6 Mar 2007 18:15:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - I'm an avid artisan bread baker and pizza maker. As such, I decided I needed a nice, big stone to bake may baguettes and big pies on. Why do you want a baking stone? Heat retention: A big, heavy stone will absorb a lot of heat and help...

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for PlayStation 2: Addictive and amusing

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 15:27:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - I was a big fan of the first Lego Star Wars, so I had to pick this one up and see what they did with it. If you've played the original LSW, pretty much everything will be familiar. New is the hidden Red Bricks to find and Gold Bricks to earn. Red...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - Tricams. Love 'em or hate 'em. I'm firmly in the love 'em Camp (pun intended). Tricams can be used in two ways: passive and active. When set as passive, they work just like a plain nut; you slide the Tricam behind a restriction and set it. Clip 'n...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - I bought this product for a few reasons - 1. I didn't want to be a Pod person. 2. I've had good experiences with Creative in the past. 3. I like the battery life. 4. I don't mind the larger size. 5. Easy to put plain data on the unit, to use it as...

The best hard button remote you can get.

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 16:32:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - I'm not much of a touch-screen kinda guy. I like the feel of those little hard buttons under my fingers. Here was my list of requirements for a new HT remote: 1. Learning - they all do this, now. 2. Good IR strength - some of the ones I used...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - We needed to replace our 2002 Mazda Protege5. With 53000 miles on it, it was a good, reliable car, but we wanted something a little more suited to the weather and terrain in our area. That means something with AWD. Our short list was the Subaru...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - I've only had this range for about a week. I did a ton of research into gas ranges, and for the money, this one could not be beaten. I purchased the MGR5765QDB, which is the same thing in black. I used the supplied LP conversion kit to switch it to...

Sony FD Trinitron WEGA KV-32HS510 32 inch TV: The best TV, ever.

Wed, 12 May 2004 14:20:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teleplayer75 - This is my second Wega, the first being a 21" model (that's still in my bedroom). As far as CRT TVs go, you can't get a better picture tube than the WEGA. It's different from other tubes, in that the electron beam can actually be focused differently,...
