13193. thoughtful - 1/12/2005 10:08:41 PM Don't know if they still are, but at one point they were owned by the same folks who make maxwell house coffee...hard to believe! 13194. judithathome - 1/12/2005 10:36:34 PM I just ordered some Gevalia to get a free programmable coffe maker. I have several of those jars, too...they are great for storage of coffee. 13195. thoughtful - 1/12/2005 11:23:21 PM Funny thing...when i switched off gevalia, i went to buying dunkin' donuts coffee and it was not quite as good as gevalia, but it was good. Then all of a sudden the d d coffee deteriorated. I happened to be at school with a fellow who was involved in the specialty coffee business. His bud was the coffee mixer at d d and he told me his bud recently changed jobs. Amazing the impact it had on their product quality. 13196. PelleNilsson - 1/12/2005 11:30:21 PM I have to check all this. Gevalia owned Maxwell house? Are we talking about the same Gevalia? The family owned coffe rostery (is that a word)? in a small town 200 km north of Stockholm? But it's almost 11 pm here so it will have to wait. 13197. Jenerator - 1/12/2005 11:50:50 PM Judith,
Did you select the white or the black coffee maker? I got the same offer in the mail.
Pelle,
I heard that Gevalia used Arabica beans?
If any of you want to know more about quality coffee, try this website. I use a different name that shall remain a secret at this time.
;-) 13198. judithathome - 1/12/2005 11:59:50 PM I got the black one! 13199. Jenerator - 1/13/2005 12:02:48 AM Cool!
It is a good deal for the money.
I desperately want a new espresso maker but my husband would kill me if I spent $900 on the one I want. 13200. wonkers2 - 1/13/2005 12:40:24 AM Who would blame him? In Michigan that would be grounds for divorce or provocation to inflict deadly harm! 13201. alistairConnor - 1/13/2005 12:46:00 AM In Texas, they drink Swedish coffee?
I didn't even know they grew coffee beans in Sweden. 13202. Jenerator - 1/13/2005 1:15:23 AM I get my coffee from various places - it depends on what I am in the mood for and how much I want to spend.
I suspect Gevalia is just the mother company and that it orders beans from other suppliers. Sweden would produce the grosset beans if allowed to- but the climate makes it impossible. 13203. Magoseph - 1/13/2005 2:12:03 AM Hi, Arky, how is the editing coming along? 13204. arkymalarky - 1/13/2005 4:14:02 AM Hey Mags! I think it's going well. I sent a page to the people who are working on it to make sure I'm heading the right direction, and I hope to finish next week. Hopefully I'll hear a good word back from them tomorrow and can go forward from there. 13205. Wombat - 1/13/2005 4:31:50 AM You can get a stove-top espresso pot for around $10.00. It is what the Italians use in their homes. 13206. judithathome - 1/13/2005 6:27:27 AM I've got an entire family of those stove-top espresso pots...from one serving up to eight. They look so cute together, all in a row.
They make the BEST espresso! My Italian friend taught me a secret...after you pack the coffee into the little holder, you make three little pokes in the middle with a toothpick. She says her grandfather always did that so she did it...I do it, too, and I must say, my espresso os exquisite. ;-) 13207. Macnas - 1/13/2005 12:03:51 PM My missus bought me one of those for me. I was envious of my brother, who had come home from Holland with one.
After tasting the coffee he made using it, I thought I'd pick one up if I saw it. I saw one in a dept. store, but it was far too expensive for what it was, so I didn't bother.
Then the Missus saw the exact same make for something like 7 euro, and picked it up for me.
Can't help loving that wife of mine. 13208. alistairconnor - 1/13/2005 1:01:11 PM so, your brother hangs about in coffee shops in Holland, hmmm? 13209. neato - 1/13/2005 1:07:26 PM I bet all those Macnas's like a puff or two 13210. Magoseph - 1/13/2005 1:34:17 PM Hello, everyone! Hi, Neato, long time, no see, as they say around here. I hate to say it, but I relegated coffee pots and coffee machines to the pile of stuff to be sold eventually. Instant coffee is just fine for us and even that is on its way out. 13211. PelleNilsson - 1/13/2005 1:37:33 PM We must show due respect to Macnas. I lives, I think, in Europe's 2005 cultural capital.
Hello Neato! Long time. 13212. alistairconnor - 1/13/2005 2:08:48 PM Instant coffee? ... now I understand why you feel you could never go back to live in France.
... you'd be lynched.
