Pop is not a Milwaukee-ism at all. Though bubbler is.

See, that's exactly why I have one glass french press for company, one stainless steel for every day use and one lexan for backpacking and/or visiting people who don't drink coffee.

I liked my Chemex when i had one, but they seem to break more or less spontaneously.

Plei, did you see my post about Baby Doll lotion?

brenda, do let me know if they open up a rift in the space-time coninuum. I don't know why I suspect that they would, but I do.

I'll get back to you last month.

I did! I meant to respond, then work ate my head.

I'm willing to take it off your hands, if you've still got it around.

PS,

PIRATES!

We actually had three french presses at one point. The one I stole from my parents, the one we bought, and the single-serving one.

Of them, I think only the single-serving isn't broken at the moment.

Why are the people running my state being so stupid?

Aw, geez, Gud. The rampant stupidity and short-sightedness on display in that article are making my stomach cramp. Also the mental gymnastics involved in reading that the author and main supporter of a competing amendment to override the ban and restore contraceptive funding were both Republicans, and that several of the handful of Democrats in your state leg. happily went along with the ban.

I've got several - I got rid of the plastic-frame ones, but I've got a few different stainless steel ones, and a travel mug one that is actually the most useful of them all. I used to use that at work when my company had really crappy coffee.

Stainless steel is really hard to break. IJS.

Boo-teek.

My mom used to use her percolator, and still occasionally pulls it out, but for daily use it's the fancy programmable Braun's drip. I rely on Diet Coke for my daily caffeine fix, but when I do need coffee in the morning, I'll stop by the White Hen convenience store for the freshest brew (and I can blend the fancier dark roast with some of the flavored stuff for a tasty cup that's still under $1).

Those collapsable measuring cups are cool! They're using silicone for lots of kitchen products now, including candy molds and ice cube trays.

I no longer say 'pop' (I say 'soda' now.) I used to as a child but stopped...

I switched from "pop" to "soda" after going to college in Milwaukee. I never did pick up "bubbler" for "water/drinking fountain," though. But my first encounter with an ATM machine was with the TYME ones at Marquette, so I had to break the habit of asking people in Illinois "Where's the TYME machine?" instead of "Where's the Cash Station?"
