i have this:
it's pretty simple, but it does what i want and how i want it pretty quickly.
i used to work at starbucks when i was in college so i know how to make what i like... and no, i don't use starbucks coffee in it.
i also have a bodum french press and a regular drip coffee machine for when i want hawaiian or vietnamese coffee.
+1 on the kitchenaid mixer rec. i like it so much compared to a regular mixer because i can beat or whip things effortlessly and quickly. i have the attachments (juicer, meat grinder, etc) but i haven't used them yet. i've only used the paddle beater for homemade cupcake frosting, i think it was...
