Re:Coffee Dinner Plates, cups etc. - 2006/03/25 03:14Coffee Freak,
That's why we did leave your message here, but the intent wasn't clear (especially with the capital letters, "everything!" and jumbo size tag).
Do you want us to list all of the possible coffee-branded kitchen items in existence? Our favourite items? No, I'm not trying to be difficult, but can you lower the scope of your question so that we can take a stab at it?
You are likely to find coffee motif paraphenalia all over the place, as vendors try to cash in on the new "gourmet coffee" consciousness in the market. Much of what I have seen is often whimsical and doesn't necessarily reflect much real coffee knowledge - nothing wrong with that - common examples being items strewn with words like latte, cafe, caffe, coffee, mocha, iced coffee, venti, grande etc. in various spellings.
Did you catch the Francis-Francis lookalike tea-kettle on the blog page? I thought that one was pretty funny.
You may find these things anywhere, particularly at small and independent kitchen shops or country stores for the more colourful examples. Department stores, Walmarts, Targets may have blander versions. Dollar stores will likely have something.
I have yet to see much that reflects knowledge of the difference between an espresso and expresso, or a latté vs. a cappuccino. I received a set of what look like big coasters, but are actually hanging plates, whose coffee-related slogans are somewhat ironically in juxtaposition to the splashy coffee drink names and pictures painted around them.

What are peoples opinions on Galileo Coffee, a small Roastery Cafe just south of Squamish in the little town of Britannia Beach on Highway 99? I've really enjoyed the Howes Blend that they use in thei...
The Breville was my first machine. It has been a good machine no complaints. When you are ready, move up but you did not make a mistake. I can make a Mocha that will bring tears to your eye's with min...
I'm pretty keen to try roasting for the first time. Getting pretty good at pulling espresso shots finally, and would love to figure out what it takes to roast great tasting beans :)...
Yea... it's been a headache, and that is understated, to say the least. Tonight, one of their reps came by to look at the machine and offer me some solutions. He was very nice. He actually said for th...
Saeco Incanto, in general, is garbage. We've had ongoing problems with ours (that you can see at the web link in my profile).
Have you had the machine serviced at all? Or just a call to ask if the...
Based on all the discussion and reviews, I am looking to buy either the 8 cup or the 12 cup model. Since the physical size of the units (other than the pot, of course) seems to be exactly the same, i...
Since you've posted in the $400 I'd say return the Breville and get a single boiler machine.
In this price range you can easily get an entry level Saeco or Gaggia, or a lesser known name like Moki...
