[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

[Darla Rogers]

Hi Serena,

	I have one, and it operates with a wheel that clicks; once I learned
the positions, I could grind whatever grind I wanted.
	An ex-boyfriend gave it to me one Christmas; I like it better than
the ones that just have a list, you push down on a ubtt6on on the lid once
it is placed, and it grinds coffee.  It was loud, and you had to time it for
the grind you wanted.

I made a few messes before I used the funnel lol.  I thought about getting a
Kerug but I decided I wanted the option of using the pot or just the single
serve.  I want a coffee grinder though.
