Tea & Coffee 02/02 - Tea Export and Transportation: Global Trends (#)
„Twinings sold in North America ships from the U.K., which does not grow any tea. Twinings re-export method is bifurcated, with tea retailing in tins shipped pre-packaged (tea already in the tins), and tea retailing in cardboard boxes shipped as bulk (not yet packaged for sale). Thus, Twinings headed for North America is transported in two formats to the same North Carolina hub. The Greensboro factory blends and fills for teabags, and then packages in cardboard boxes.“

Amazon.com: Books: The World's Finest Mystery and Crime Stories: Third Annual Collection: Vol. #3
„In the former category, there is Ed McBain with "Activity on the Flood Plain" which, on the surface, doesn't appear to belong in this collection at all. What begins as a story of a beleaguered artist dealing with a nattering nabob on a planning and zoning board takes a left turn near the conclusion. And, yeah, it definitely belongs in this volume. Jeffrey Deaver is included as well, with "Beautiful." This marks the first time I have ever been able to guess the conclusion of a Deaver work and it did not diminish my enjoyment of the story, which concerns a woman who finds an effective, if drastic way, of dealing with a stalker.“

CoffeeKid - Things I love about coffee and espresso
„We're talking a person who lives, breathes and thinks espresso 24/7. Well, she does have a social life, but do you know any other Barista who loves the "game" so much that she'll get up early to open one shop and work her tail off, then go to another shop and work until 11pm and close that shop, all the time loving every aspect of what she does? Fourth best in the US, first in our hearts.“

„If you see other reviewers that said this machine doesn't make great espresso, they're doing it wrong, and it's really not hard. You just have to not pack the ground so tightly.--This text refers toan alternate option.“

CoffeeGeek - Saeco Via Veneto - Conclusions
„Because at $50, this is an exceptional value. You're getting a good starter machine that does have some power, especially in the pump and frothing abilities (once you overcome the machine's small boiler size problems), and if you're just trying to get into espresso and cappuccino, this machine is definitely a good starting point. Pair it up with a good grinder, (Saeco M2002, $100; Bodum Antigua, $75; Solis 166, $125, Briel Java, $75) and $150 or less, you have a capable home setup that will impress the non-espresso drinker, wow the cappuccino lover, and provide the tools to build your own barista skills. Buy the aftermarket chrome and brass portafilter from Saeco (around $20 USD), and you'll overcome further limitations this machine has.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„If the clerk doesn't know what you're talking about, look for a small pipe, usually about 1/4 inch in diameter and a few inches long, protruding from the side or front of the device. Some beginner-friendly machines may replace the conventional wand with an automatic milk frother (it looks like a small plastic cylinder protruding from the front of the machine) that sucks cold milk into one end and squirts out hot frothed milk at the other. These devices may sound wonderful, but in fact are fussy, demanding, and delicate. I would recommend against buying any machine that does not give you the option of replacing the automatic frother with a conventional steam wand.“
