Amazon.com: Books: The Importance of Being Earnest (#)

  „But if Wilde's puns are the low road then his epigrams represent the heights of his genius, especially when they are used by the characters in an ironic vein (e.g., "It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal" and "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance"). Jack is the male lead, but it is Algernon who represents the ideal Wilde character, who insists he is a rebel speaking out against the institutions of society, such as marriage, but with attacks that are so flamboyant and humorous that the cleverness of the humor ends up standing apart from the inherent point.“

  „This is not your ordinary "run of the mill"coffee booklet extolling romantic places and recipes.

What Is Coffee? - National Coffee Association

  „Coffea arabica is descended from the original coffee trees discovered in Ethiopia.  These trees produce a fine, mild, aromatic coffee and represent approximately 70 percent of the world's coffee production. On the world market, arabica coffees bring the highest prices.  The better arabicas are high grown coffees -- generally grown between 2,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level -- though optimal altitude varies with proximity to the equator. The important factor is that temperatures must remain mild, neither too hot nor too cold, ideally between 59 - 75 degrees, with about 60 inches of rainfall a year.   The trees are hearty but a heavy frost will kill them.  Arabica trees are costly to cultivate because the terrain tends to be steep and access difficult.  Also, because the trees are more disease prone than robusta, they require additional care and attention.“

Amazon.com: Books: Who Needs Decaf? (Harlequin Flipside)

  „Though Sheryl needs to try decaf (heresy to her), fans will enjoy this often frantic romantic romp. Sheryl is a bit wired but fun to follow while Nathan is almost obsessed with gaining the story (should have bribed her with gourmet Starbucks) until he has a new fascination: Sheryl. The support cast is never fully developed though the author and the game maker play pivotal roles.“

  „I'm curious to know if anyone here has experimented with the auto tampers available such as the Macap. Might they represent a good compromise between the Swift and traditional hand tamping?“
