Episode 5: Gevalia.com

Friday, September 23rd, 2005

To go with my under $100 choice of the Krups Combi Coffee/Espresso Machine Duo , you are going to need some coffee to brew in it. I suggest joining Gevalia.com, a gourmet coffee store online. It is free to join, and it sends the coffee you request right to your door! Not only that, but you can also have their “coffee calculator” compute how often you go through coffee and have them automatically send it to you based on that! It is an excellent service, and very nicely priced for gourmet (and as a coffee conisseur, I might add tasty) coffee. You can get a pound of espresso as well as a pound of your favorite blend of coffee (beans or ground) for about $30.

Episode 4: Ipod Nano

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

Under $250 Recommendation:
Not so much a recommendation, but rather a question, the Ipod Nano or the Ipod Mini.

Reason / Discussion:
Well, I don’t know the answer. Do you need the extra small device, was the Ipod Mini too big? Is for the same price an extra 2 gig (in the Ipod Mini 6 gig) worth buying a discontinued device?
