I've had it served to me and I just bought one. So far, so good, but would welcome any tips. Thanks in advance.

Don't pass Go or Collect 200$ -- talk to the coffee geeks. They've given me great advice in the past.

Could be I'm just a klutz, but after breaking two within a three-year period, I gave up. Still use the filters, though. Thu Dec 16 08:58:39 -0800 2004 1450723 0 Mike McElliott
