13191. PelleNilsson - 1/12/2005 9:38:37 PM You know about Gevalia, thoughtful? Amazing. 13192. thoughtful - 1/12/2005 10:06:11 PM I used to buy gevalia on a regular basis...still have the cannister and mugs they gave me. Coffee is incredibly smooth and delicious. I got tired of the auto delivery thing and never seemed to get it quite right. Also the stuff was frightfully expensive. So I gave it up. I've since cut way back on coffee drinking anyway, but still remember that smooth taste. 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.
