CoffeeKid - eBay auction is hurt, but comes out well (#)
„You have been passively instrumental in the growth of my coffee knowledge and appreciation over the past year or so. Without you, I would not have been able to snag a Saeco Via Veneto / Melitta Cafe Express at the Damark site. Without you, I would not have known about Kyle Baratza and his refurbished Solis 166's. Your contributions to the newsgroup over the course of the past year or so have been invaluable to me, and after all the information and advice I've taken from you, I could never take your favorite vac-pot.“

CoffeeKid - Tavolo sale, the Japanese love vacpots, and more!
„40% off, across the board. For a few short hours this morning (Aug 22), some lucky buggers got even bigger discounts off two decent Super Autos - a Saeco Vienna Deluxe at $200 (normally retails online for $520 or so) and a Krups Orchestro for $250 (I've seen it locally for around $1300 Cdn, or about $850 USD). Sadly, those machines are listed as out of stock. But some steals remain - a Gaggia Baby for $209 which is amazing; a Gaggia MDF grinder for $140 new (amazing!)“

CoffeeKid - Press Pots and Drip Brewers
„What's even more scary is the "company line" followed by some appliance makers. I had the head technical troubleshooter at Saeco USA once tell me that coffee is "supposed to be brewed at 165F" when he was contacted about complaints that the Saeco Latte was brewing too cold. And once, I wrote Braun enquiring why their machines never seem to produce temperatures hotter than 180F at the showerhead (in the carafe, the coffee is closer to 175F), and they told me that their extensive scientific study has "proven" that 175F to 180F is the optimum brewing temperatures.“

„Melitta Manual Drip - Melitta sells a wide range of manual drip coffee makers, and they like to push them as "gourmet" models. There's a reason - the water is hot enough. Melitta's new "flavorpore" filter papers actually seem to work, letting more of the coffee oils pass through.“

CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer
„Tyros and hobbyists picked up on this, and started the trend towards homeroasting coffee again. Companies like Melitta and others brought out "first generation" automated home roasting devices. They basically sucked - the Melitta roaster couldn't reach proper roasting temps, and was a likely a candidate for blowing up.“
