Mrs Tea

I can't stand coffee (but love the smell) so I love hot tea. I have 2 hot tea makers.
Here is one of them. Mrs. Tea by Mr. Coffee. It is out of production now but works wonderfully. I got one as a wedding present and it's still working perfect 10 years later.

Sunbeam Tea Drop

I just got one of these too, because they were cheap and I love a new appliance!

Hi Toggle

My ex was lebanese and he taught me how to make lebanese coffee which is very similar to Turkish Coffee. Delicious, but it will def put some hair on your chest!! lol.

Most of my siblings went with our parents to Greece in 1990, in particular to Samos, the island of my father's birth. He was determined that we would not embarras him and so drilled us in some Greek words and phrases. The word he gave us for the coffee maker was (phonetically) cah-fay-tho-breko. He had planned to buy us each one of the neat copper ones. All that we ever found in stores were the enameled ones, made in China or someplace else. He also taught us the words to order coffee: mavro (black), mezzo, (medium sweet) and sketo (sweet). The first time we used our new knowledge in a restaurant, the order taker got around to my brother who brightly asked for "cafe, scata". I'll leave it to Steve to explain.

coffee

I have used nothing but 8'Oclock coffe beans of all flavors and labels.I am completely,totaly hooked on them and have a 12 cup Hamilton Beach Brew center that is to die for!I got it @ Costco for $39.99 3 years ago and have had perfect drip coffee ever since.I also have a KitchenAid coffee mill that has an upside down jar for the beans and a small glass/measuring cup that catches the grinds measuring the amount of cups you want to brew.I found it @ Dillards for $79.99 on sale the day before I saw the Brew Center.Chuck

LOL a litle bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I worked with a Morrocan Jew who spoke Arabic, French and English. He repeated an Arabic phrase so many times a day for years, that I actually picked it up and pronounced it quite well, he informed me. He would chuckle every time I said it. On the day of his retirement he told me what it meant. "You dirty, filthy - - -. OY VEY! and I can't get the damn phrase out of my head!

Sketo- per the dictionary: plain, simple without sugar.
Skata- per the dictionary: S--T.

Beach => Bitch
Cleats=> well you get the point. (Mom, just say sneakers, PLEASE!)

I'll say this, I was dying for a cup of "regular" coffee in Europe and I practically kissed the ground in McDonald's in Paris, France when i got one finally! Not to mention a soda *MIT* (with) ice!

Lebanese, Armenian, Greek, whatever it's called it is all basically Turkish coffee!
