Happy New Year!
The madness of the holidays is almost over and many of us are about to turn over a new leaf in 2011. Maybe one of your resolutions was for more efficiency and less waste? Well then I have the Giveaway for you. The Senseo Stay or Go Personal Coffee Maker.
Confession: I have resisted the individual coffee makers and pods for a while. My first experience years ago didn’t leave a favorable impression. So I stuck to my old school methods of grinding my beans and brewing. With it just being Certain Someone and myself, that could lead to a lot of expensive wasted coffee. Then I was lucky to get a Senseo Stay or Go to try and I have used it daily for the past few weeks. So easy and convenient with no waste. I have very large mugs and like to make it strong with two Senseo pods. You can fit your travel mug or cup underneath. Ironically after receiving my Senseo from Hamilton Beach, I have been seeing everyone is on the Single Serve Coffee maker trend at all the houses I visited over the holidays. Most important was taste. Certain Someone and I cant agree on coffee and strengths, but both of us are mutually pleased. He’s picky you know.Germans are the worlds biggest coffee drinkers , besides beer.

NEWARK — Dipping a wooden spoon into a multi-colored mound of cherries, raisins and nuts, Neil Criste-Troutman is preparing to bake an organic fruitcake that redefines the divisive holiday dessert.
For two decades, the Newark native has been cooking up cakes as gifts for skeptics, creating big batches from scratch that sometimes tally 150 pounds. He hopes his confections counter clichés of old loaves laden with mummified sweets.
"The store-bought stuff is horrible," says Criste-Troutman, 66, a retired piano teacher and voice coach wearing a novelty apron that reads, "Sophisticated, seductive, complex and full bodied. (... And the wine's not bad either)."
Criste-Troutman adds, "If people knew what real fruitcake tastes like, they’d be more interested in eating it. It’s good that I only make it once a year because otherwise, I’d be eating it all the time, and it is not a light food."
Criste-Troutman’s life partner, Bob, once frowned upon fruitcake. His whole perspective shifted after he met Neil in 1981 and sampled a sliver. Now, Bob helps craft cakes, drizzling brandy and rum on loaves that soak in linen for weeks before the holiday.

Bought this at JC Penney and didn't read reviews first, it was regularly 59.99 on sale for 29.99 and I needed a coffee maker. Since then I've read ONLY negative reviews...does ANYONE have anything positive to say about this coffee maker by Cooks brand?
here is a positive review for you

Designing Point-of-Use Appliances
If a sink and faucet are planned, consider adding a built-in coffee maker and an under-cabinet refrigerator (with or without ice). Adding sturdy storage for normal food stuffs, as opposed to fancy glasses, might turn this area into the breakfast bar or
