Nice, Jen, very nice--have you tried it yet?

3719. Jenerator - 4/4/2006 9:40:36 PM

Yes and I love it. I get to buy those nifty ultra-fresh capsules and the temperature, pressure and timing are perfect.

The best thing is that it is powerful while being small so it won't take up too much counterspace.


3720. Jenerator - 4/4/2006 9:41:07 PM

How about you Mags - any new purchases?

3721. Jenerator - 4/4/2006 9:50:16 PM

This bad boy is $2,060.

Can you imagine spending that much for an espresso maker? My husband would kill me.

3722. Magoseph - 4/4/2006 10:13:27 PM

I bought a 2006 Honda Odyssey Touring a week ago. I haven't had the nerve to drive it yet, except from the dealer to the garage. My son has it for a week or two and he wants to teach me how to drive it.

3723. arkymalarky - 4/4/2006 10:31:50 PM

Oooh, those are nice, Mags.

3724. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 4:20:34 PM

Magoseph!

Whar are you waiting for? Tell me all about yur new car - why'd you buy it, what do you like about it? What color did you pick?

3725. PelleNilsson - 4/5/2006 6:46:38 PM

I'm disapponted. I thought Mago had bought a motorcycle.

3726. wonkers2 - 4/5/2006 9:02:11 PM

I hope the espresso machine is energy efficient so that it will eventually pay for itself (by the time your great grand children are using it).

3727. wonkers2 - 4/5/2006 9:03:08 PM

Mago will have to wait almost as long to recover the premium she paid for the Honda over an American car.

3728. Magoseph - 4/5/2006 9:28:12 PM

Pelle, Wonk--I’m disappointed that I had to buy this car, but Flexy wanted it—the only satisfaction I have is that I got a sizable discount paying cash.

Jen, it’s kind of a silver grey, but, you know, I can’t be excited about buying cars, appliances, or clothes. I have too much of all that around here anyway and being a miser, I’m actually sick right now about the Honda.

3729. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:02:28 PM

Wonkers,

The espresso machine was a birthday present and the capsules only cost .49 cents each.

3730. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:03:10 PM

Mags,

I can't believe you're not even excited about driving a new car.

3731. wonkers2 - 4/5/2006 11:07:00 PM

Just kidding Jen. I live in a town populated by BMWs, Porsche Cayenne and Cadillac SUVs, Mercedes Benzes whose owners all probably have espresso machines in addition to being at least 90 percent conservative Republicans. I have to keep my head down to avoid fist fights at the grocery store and on the road.

3732. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:09:18 PM

I would never punch you because of your inferiority.

3733. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:09:57 PM

Just kiddin'. WHat's wrong with an espresso maker anyway. I'm a coffee goober.

3734. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:12:42 PM

And you know - I am glad you bought up the $$ issue. This maker is the best for the price and it's tiny (can you tell I'm excited?) and it will save me a fortune. The average espresso is arounf $1.75 - the average latte around $3.00 - the average anything else around $4.50.

Mine only costs $.49 each.


Jen's Java Joint.

I'll serve the Ristretto opening night.

The Odyssey is a beautiful van with a lot of wonderful features. I looked at one when I bought my other van. I had to have a good commuting car, but if I were looking for another van, the Odyssey would have been one I'd have loved if I could afford it while I'm still paying for Mose's Jetta, which I couldn't.

3736. arkymalarky - 4/5/2006 11:37:53 PM

If you have to buy something, you might as well be excited about it and certainly enjoy it once the deed is done. That's what I keep telling Bob about the Civic, but then he doesn't get to drive it.

3737. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:43:37 PM

I've been saving my pennies for the Dodge Magnum, but Consumer Reports said it wasn't a very economical vehicle.

I have to find somethinga s cool as it is, but is more gas efficient. After all, gas will keep getting more expensive.
