Best home coffee maker
Where is the best place to buy home stuff in Orlando?

I need to buy pillows,a coffee maker,a flat iron, sheets and other things that I’ll be needing to furnish my semi-furnished apartment in Orlando. I need to know where to find a store which offer nice stuff, at an affordable cost. If possible, a place near 10651 Demilo Place.

Thanks!

Other than the ones already mentioned, you can take a look at Marshalls, Ross and TJMaxx home goods.
If you can wait until October, the new IKEA store is opening close to the Millenia Mall.

THERMAL COFFEE MAKERS
What’s the best coffee maker with a thermal carafe?

Was thinking about getting this one:

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10091331&catid=

I have a coffee maker with a thermal carafe and I don’t reccommend them. The weight of the metal in the carafe cools the coffee down too much and there is no heater in the base to keep the coffee warm. So when it brews you end up with a pot of somewhat warm coffee. You have to heat the metal pot up with warm water before the brew.

On mine there is a special screw down top on the carafe which makes cleaning it harder and you have to have tightened down to get it under the filter. The coffee maker won’t work without the top on because of a no drip valve under the basket. I ended up ripping the part out since I didn’t like dealing with the lid.

1 CUP COFFEE MAKER

1 CUP COFFEE MAKER
What do you call this coffee maker?

I haven’t seen these around for a few years.They are a small, 1 to 3 cup stainless steel and brass (or other golden alloy ) and are like a tiny pressure cooker. They look a bit like an hour glass in shape, maybe all of 6 inches high. What do you call these, and do they still make them ?
Anon-a-MISS > the closest to the design I have found is the Moka expresso maker. It seems to be based on the same principle but the one I used, many years ago, was smaller and silver and gold in colour. Really made great coffee and was fun to use though I forgot how to use one.

Is it one of these?????

Coffee beverage
Please help me remember the name of coffee beverage from the late 80s (i think) commercial?

There was a cartoon beatnik, with I believe the music from Eric Burdon & War’s “Spill the Wine” playing in the background. It was for a coffee beverage, like the Starbucks frappucino, but pre-frappucino days. Please help its been driving me crazy!

Best decaf coffee
How many milligrams of caffeine is in decaf coffee?

Does caffeine free sodas contain any caffeine at all? Is it totally caffeine free? How about decaf coffee? Thank you. One with the most details get best answer.

it is completely caffeine free BUT here is calories that give you energy i would say there is maybe quit a few calories. coffee is not naturally caffeinated but the kind WITH caffeine has all kinds of flavors and dies and sugars that it has caffeine in it because sugar does have caffeine in it. kind of like chocolate. when it is first found it taste horrible but when it has sugars and sweetners in it taste good!
