DeLonghi America, Inc IC8000 Ice Creamery 1.5 Qt. Capacity Review

We purchased our DeLonghi after sampling ice cream made from my Sister-In-Law's Cuisnart machine.Nice fresh ice cream unlike the old days where you had to manually crank a handle...and the results were mixed at best.
Comparing the DeLonghi to the Cuisnart....the DeLonghi is much quiter.And that is a big plus when you have visitors who you don't want to be disturbed and want to entertain.Also the texture of the ice cream is better.
Replying to another customer review appearing for this machine...it DOES make treats with milk and skim milk.All without all the preservatives you will find in over the counter frozen treats from stores....
Our first batch didn't turn out great...but it was related to not being familar with our new machine.Ever since...success.
The secret to making a firm treat is to mix your ingredients beforehand and freeze/refrig before adding to the ice cream maker.Add it to the machine and let it work away.Then if you prefer a firmer treat, freeze further for a few hours to overnight.
Another suggestion is to buy the Ben and Jerry ice cream guide.It also states the innovation which I just mentioned above...and gives you many other helpful tips which will solve any issues you might encounter.
Gelato, Sorbet, Ice Cream, Smoothies.All came out well.

Jura-Capresso 13214 Impressa Z5 Automatic Coffee Center Review

Yes, you'll flinch when you see the price tag!Right now this is the king of super automatics.My work hours are all over the place and many times there is just no time to devote to pulling the perfect espresso from a manual or semi machine.Add to that I drink cappuccino's or lattes 95% of the time.This machine was made for those who drink mostly cappuccino's or lattes and it couldn't be easier.Many long time aficionados on the coffeegeek.com forums will tell you that you cannot pull anything close to a "god shot" from a super automatic and they are correct.But what you get is pretty darn good especially if you love the taste of espresso but don't want to devote your life to making perfect shots every pull.The Z5 is the model of simplicity and produces consistent very good shots of espresso and excellent latte's & cappuccino's every time with little time.I had this machine programmed, up and going just 10 minutes out of the box.I am not an expert on pulling shots manually.Setting the knob to the hottest setting, strongest espresso and finest grind yielded a very tasty shot that was far better than any I have had at Starbuck's.I used Coffee Emergency espresso roast.The crema was good and the temperature excellent.I used a Capressa S9 a year ago and was not happy with the temperature of the shots coming out of the machine.They are much improved on the Z5. Back to cappuccino's...Fill the milk thermos with your choice of milk...set knob to cappuccino and hit the button.A gorgeous cappuccino was produced on the very first try.I didn't have to move the cup...it was all automatic!It took me ages to learn to make a decent cappuccino onsame thing manually.Again...much better than at Starbuck's and any of the local coffee houses. The Z5 has a timer that can be set to turn the machine on and off when you want it to. Settings for water level, brewing time, amount of heated milk and foam, can all be pre set or adjusted with a knob live as your beverage is being made.The unit is whisper silent even when grinding beans.It is a well built piece of equipment that is UL approved for both residential and commercial use.I couldn't be happier with it.Should you get this machine? Bottom line is that if you want to make espresso's as a hobby and are going for that ultimate "god shot" every time don't even think about this machine.If you are a working professional who just wants a great cappuccino, latte and espresso with absolute minimum fuss that will beat Starbuck's and your local coffee shop.... think about buying this machine.

28 Oz. Non-Slip Insulated Cocktail Shaker Review

First new drink shaker I've purchased in years. The neoprene rubber outer liner is a nice idea but the strainer setup is lousy when it comes to pouring out the drink. Runs down the side and spills all over even when you position the little "slot" toward the bottom, which I assume is supposed to facilitate emptying the shaker...
I'll look for a better one thanks!

PRO SERIES 100 CUP URN STAINLESS STEEL DOUBLE WALLED Review

I worked with the company to get a replacement and I had to pay $22 to ship the product back to the company before they would replace it. After following the directions for return with return authorization # the company did not acknowledge the return until I tracked the shipment and had to produce all the information to prove it. In the end, they refunded the cost of the pot but I am still out the $22 for return shipment. I am disappointed with the outcome.

Bodum Canteen 6-Ounce (0.18-Liter) Double Wall Glass Thermal Tea Infuser Set Review

First off, this is beautiful.The glass is even more exquisite than it looks in the box.It's really a work of art.It ships well too, and is in a paper carton that's form fitting to the cup.

The idea is pretty nice - a cup with it's own filter for lose teas, that is reusable.I like reusable stuff. I dig recycling.So, I was down with this idea.

As per the picture, this is merely a glass without a handle.I'm fond of japanese and chinese cups which generally have no handles either, so I figured, no big deal here.Again, while you can see this in the picture, some people in my house did not and complained when I gave it to them to use.So, just throwing it out there.It is thermal, and did not get unpleasantly warm during use.

There was one flaw which was a downer for me.The vents on the insert for the filter as reviewers noted, indeed do let finer tea leaves seep into your tea.Again, having drunk it "old school", a few leaves is no bother to me.However... this prompted my examination of the insert, especially for the review.

This appears to be made out of very lightweight glass, like pyrex but far thinner.If you're used to nice hefty porecelain or stoneware, you'll be disappointed.It's almost feather-light - good for people with hand troubles though, I suppose.

At any rate, staring at the filter, I wondered to myself, how precisely did they cut those holes in the bottom?Rather than being formed, they were indeed incised into the bottom.Not generally a big deal, but there are minute cracks and marks around the opening.No, I don't think you'll get glass chips in your tea, but it seems...well, sloppy.Here's this elegant glass, and they incised holes and left cracks there, although minute...the craftsman in me sort of did a double take.Might just be my tea cup in particular, but I've done some crafting with molten glass, and I only ever see flaws like that from cutting it when it's too brittle.I sometimes wonder looking at it, if the filter was actually an afterthought, and it had a metal one instead.

It's really not a bad tea cup.It's cute, has a lid, and looks pretty.Keeps your tea warm, but it's not optimal overall.When most of us die hard tea fans already have other options for lose tea that are reusable, I can't say I'd go out of my way to buy anything like this for myself again, to be really honest with you.I might for a gift, buy one with some swank loose tea.Overall though, it's in practice not as practical as you might think.

Consider that one of the main reasons you get a thermal reusable cup for your tea or coffee is that you are moving around a lot, or even driving.This is glass - durable glass, but glass nonetheless.This won't be the thermal cup you yank for car trips.

As an aside, one thing it works *great* for are tinctures of herbs and making flavored oils.Since it can hold up to heat, I made a flavored garlic and rosemary infused oil for cooking.The lid is great for storing, and the strainer gets rid of large herb chunks perfectly.Perhaps Bodum should make a version for that too?It actually is sort of useful in lots of ways around the kitchen if you're a foodie.It's perfect to keep small amounts of gravy or sauce warm but off heat, as well, like a hollandaise.The cup is great for eating soup, too, and I found it more useful for that since my tea rarely sits long enough to cool dramatically before it's gone.So, don't just limit it to tea if you get this.

If you enjoy getting unique toys for your tea, then this won't be bad for the collection.It will stand out, and get nice comments when you have company.Chances are though if you're looking for practical specialty tea wares, there are better in general.It really depends on your own tea habits, and what you are looking for.I'd suggest using another filter with it though for fine loose teas, or a tea ball, rather than relying on the glass filter alone if tea leaves bug you.
