About 3 months ago I ordered...

    Any coffee lovers with vintage chrome vacuum pots?

    Cory I use my cory once in a while just for something different. Paul is very correct in saying that it's a hit/miss thing.  Some time I have great coffee and other times a mess. For some reason the peg will not allow the coffee and grounds  to seep back to the lower pot..and..well is a mess...

    Odd Westinghouse roaster method.

    Ranges...What was used most in your area..

    Little Rock Probably though the ages most everyone used gas to cook and heat with..starting in the 50's-60's it started to be a mix of electric or gas.

    newspaper I remember reading a Hints from Helouise once and she recommended filling the bottom of the fridge with newspapers and keeping the door closed for several days...the newspapers are supposed to absorbe the odor.
