Tea & Coffee 10/04 - The Truth Behind Running a Trade Show Seminar (#)

„I ask the guy where the grinders are and he looks at me with the “what grinders?” look, and I realize he’s clueless about this detail. In addition, after scoping out their brewing equipment, (all 10 gallon urns), and the waitstaff, (some of whom spoke English), I realize that the chance of brewing the coffee correctly and at the right time is pretty remote. So I shift gears and decide to do a “cupping.” The new plan is that each person would have six cups of ground coffee in front of them, and then the servers would just have to pour hot water into each cup. Shouldn’t be too difficult.“

BBC - WW2 People's War - Being Late Saved My Life - A2945441 (#)

„Giles was a hair raising experience, it seemed as if the whole of Norwich was on fire, the smoke and smell was bad enough, but the sight of terrified people trying to get their few belongings out of their shattered homes, and the sight of wounded and dead people made me glad to arrive at the fire station. There we fire women were asked to make endless spam sandwiches and fill numerous urns of tea and coffee to take to the firemen at the fire sites.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: DeLonghi DCU60 Stainless Steel Coffee Urn (#)

„Which is why we occasionally have to wipe the finish because so many people want to handle it. It draws people to it, unlike other large unseemly cumbersome coffee urns, this one is very easy to handle, and to clean. Why you would want to store it away and use it on occasion I don't know. I would buy one, except we have one at work and, well, I drink too much coffee there and at home as it is.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Machines and Grinders, Expobar Control/Pulser Reservoir Modifications (#)

„ Has anyone tried to rig up a water-level gadget?  I was thinking a water tube connected to the bottom of the resevoir, looping down and out from underneath the machine and attached (somehow) to the side - giving a water level in a way similar to large coffee urns.“
