Hi Dave,


RH>  DD> I did not open the box - so, all I know is what I read from the
RH>  DD> descriptions on the web sites. I know that it will do K-cups or
RH>  DD> loose coffee. And it will accommodate tall insulated
RH>  DD> glasses/mugs or regular coffee cups/mugs.

RH> OK, I didn't know it was an all in one thing. You'll probably have
RH> to look for the little basket separately but it does make clean up
RH> of ground coffee easier.

 DD> According to the description from Amazon (not where I got this one -
 DD> but, it's the same model) "The FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffeemaker

 DD> Note: Coffee that is ground too finely will cause an overflow. If you
 DD> are unsure about the coarseness of your coffee, check with your coffee
 DD> manufacturer.


 DD> It's nice that all the innards are dishwasher safe.

Very much so; my dishwasher is running as I'm typing. No coffee maker
parts in it tho but mugs from Steve's coffee and my tea drinking earlier
today & yesterday.


RH>  DD> Bigelow Tea Co. these days.

RH>  RH> Most mornings it's Tetley British Blend for me. Steve's been
RH>  RH> drinking a lot of the herbals during the day after coffee in
RH>  RH> the morning. Slowly but surely using up our accumulation of
RH>  RH> various teas.

RH>  DD> I used to like Celestial Seasoning's Red Zinger sometimes in
RH>  DD> the afternoon or with my oatmeal for breakfast.

RH> A non caffienated pick me up? I think Red Zinger is one of the
RH> original Celestial Seasoning's teas.

 DD> I am not so caffeine driven as I used to be.   Bv)=

Nor am I. I used to go thru a mug of tea and a couple of Cokes/Diet
Cokes a day. Now most days it's just the tea.


 DD> I think the other of their "original" teas was chamomile - which I am
 DD> not at all fond of.

It's supposed to be a good one to help you "unwind" at the end of a day,
very soothing.


RH> We run Fedora/Lynix (sp?) on our machines, W******** only in ways we
RH> don't get all the viruses, etc.  Steve had enough frustrations with
RH> W******* when he had to use it at work so didn't want it on home
RH> machines.

 DD> Linux is OK - if it were still viable I would much prefer AmigaDOS.
 DD> But, thanks to Mehdi Ali and Irving Gould and their avarice the Amiga
 DD> is a
 DD> long-dead player. Still, I'm not all that paranoid about virii,
 DD> Trojans, Malware, etc. Except that I have a suite of AVG anti-virus,
 DD> Zone Alarm
 DD> firewall and Malware Bytes (to clean up anything that slips through my
 DD> net). And I am wary of clicking on links from unknowns sources or
 DD> links from known sources that have the fingerprints of the source
 DD> having had
 DD> his/her email address book hijacked through naivete on his/her part.
 DD> I've seen enough of those sorts of e-mails that I just write back to
 DD> the sender and tell them that their computer has a venereal disease
 DD> and
 DD> needs to visit a computer doctor for some prophylactic penicillin.

Steve lets me (and others) know of what to avoid/delete, etc. He also
does a fair amount of spam reporting.
