And then read them again. I went to the Keurig website and researched the B40. Came back to Amazon and read the reviews one more time. If I was going to pay $100 for a coffee machine, I wanted to be sure I knew as much as possible about it. I finally purchased the B40, and after getting it today and having brewed four cups of coffee so far, I offer the following review (from a BLACK COFFEE drinker, no milk, no sugar): I think the people who claim this machine is too loud and complain that it vibrates too much are your normal "Mr. Coffee" people. Yes, the machine makes noise. It's pumping pressurized hot water into the K-Cups. Of course it's gonna make noise. I counted each time the noise was made. It lasts five seconds each time, at most. And it's MUCH quieter than my Melitta Mill & Brew, which grinds the coffee beans with a high shrill. This machine also vibrates. But again, it's well worth the minor noise...

Ketchum (Moscow, ID United States) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Keurig B-40 B40 Elite Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System (Kitchen) I have been using the Keurig B-40 for over 7 months now and have been very impressed with it. It heats up very quickly, and the auto shut-off feature allows you to have your machine shut down after 2 hours of inactivity. You can use the B-40 for brewing tea by buying tea in K-cups, but I simply and frugally put my tea (either loose in strainer or in a bag) in a cup and run the Keurig without a K-cup in the holder. I use the Keurig in a similar manner to add hot water to cups of soup. As mentioned in other reviews, the 7.25 oz brewing size is fine for a single regular cup, but small for a big mug or travel mug. Furthermore, the strength of the coffee that you get with the regular K-cups is too weak for my taste. The regular K-cups are better suited to one of the other Keurig brewers (B50 or B60) where you have the option of changing your brewing volume to 5.25 oz. The caveat is that you have even less coffee. The Extra-Bold K-cups that vendors are now selling...

Olsen (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Keurig B-40 B40 Elite Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System (Kitchen) The Keurig B-40 makes excellent, well flavored coffee... in a snap! It tastes just as good as a brewed cup with a traditional coffee maker, it does NOT taste like it came from a vending machine. The only con is minor: the 7.25 ounce serving size. This is perfect for a coffee cup, but a large coffee mug will require you to brew 2 k-cups. But brewing is so quick, that you can brew both K-cups within 30 seconds. The B-40 is an excellent choice for a model. Because brew cycles are so fast, you do not need the timer option that comes with the B-50 or B-60. The B-50 also offers a smaller cup brew option, but trust me - you won't need it. The B-40 also comes with an auto-off feature that will turn off the machine 2 hours after the last brew, which is great if you worry you may forget to. (If you drink coffee throughout the day, you can disable this feature too.) I joined Green Mountain Coffee's "cafe club". Check it out on their website. Huge...

New Metro Design Beater Blade for 5-Quart KitchenAid Tilt-Head Mixers, white grey blades

Customer Rating :

List Price : $24.95 Price : $13.85

Product Description

New Metro Design’s Beater Blade is an electric mixer attachment which thoroughly mixes batter, eliminating the need to stop and scrape the bowl manually. Engineered for use with top brand electric stand mixers, including most models offered by KitchenAid, Cuisinart, DeLonghi and Viking, the new Beater Blade beats, scrapes, folds and incorporates ingredients thoroughly for fool-proof baking. The new Beater Blade+ ingeniously improves on the functionality of standard V-shaped beaters offered with high-end stand mixers by crafting a high-quality, enhanced blade that includes a flexible rubber “wing” down the entire length of both sides of the blade. The durable, food-grade edging simulates the action of a powerful spatula to gently, yet thoroughly scrape the bowl clean. The wing-system design acts like a wiper blade that continuously scrapes sides and bottom of bowl while it mixes virtually eliminating hand-scraping and batter build-up on the blade. BeaterBlade’s state-of-the-art design continuously and automatically scrapes batters during mixing, which can speed up the process by as much as 50 percent. By eliminating the need to turn off and on the mixer to scrape the bowl, Beater Blade reduces wear of the motor of the mixer, as well. New Metro Design’s Beater Blade excels in a full range of mixing applications, including creaming butter, sugar and eggs to fluffy perfection, and preparing frostings and pastry creams quickly and easily. Model KA-TH fits all KitchenAid tilt head mixers regardless of the KitchenAid model numbers.

• Replacement blade fits all KitchenAid tilt-head mixers regardless of model number
• Flexible, high-quality food-grade rubber wing down each side of blade continuously scrapes bowl clean
• Also beats, folds, and mixes ingredients; eliminates batter build-up on blade
• Cuts mixing time by up to 50%
• Made in the USA and UL certified ANSI/NSF2; dishwasher-safe

These two chefs know why Kitchenaid wishes they'd thought of this patented new beater blade!, June 14, 2009 By  Chandler - See all my reviews          Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: New Metro Design Beater Blade for 5-Quart KitchenAid Tilt-Head Mixers, white grey blades (Kitchen) First, I'll start by saying we are two gourmet nuts in this household. My honey owns a food manufacturing company and between the two of us foodies, there is a whole heck of a lot of cooking going on. In fact, we bought our current house based on the size of the kitchen being able to fit all of our gadgets. We love food. We love to cook. Okay, so that self-disclosure said, I read about these blades before they ever came out in one of my gourmet magazines. I found it interesting that Kitchenaid wasn't the one to come up with it and get the patent. It's brilliant! But only if it really works... I love the Kitchenaid mixers and think they are among the best out there. They have just been improved, but, oddly not by Kitchenaid! This speeds up your mixing time by half! The only thing I didn't like about my God-of-all-mixers was having to stop, lower the bowl, stir, and continue in order to get a perfectly mixed food product. Now, I put this blade in...

I love my Viking mixer for bread making, but occasionally use it to make cookies which contain a high proportion of oatmeal. Thus, the dry ingredients are prone to gathering along the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl and require that I stop the mixer, lift the head and move the ingredients using a spatula. While that isn't exactly a Herculean task, it is annoying. However, due to a stubborn streak and a less than industrious attitude on the particular day, I tried scraping the side of the bowl while the mixer was down and moving - even though I know better. The result was a broken spatula - just as one would expect. When I saw this Beater Blade, I thought it might solve the problem. Once you have adjusted the Beater Blade, it does an excellent job of clearing the sides and bottom of the bowl. If you mix a lot of cookie dough or...

AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener

Customer Rating :

List Price : $13.99 Price : $5.50

Product Description

This knife shapener sharpens any double edge blade whether serrated or plain, thick or thin and it will do it faster than youd believe possible. AccuSharp sharpeners are the best, easiest and fastest sharpeners around. The difference is in the specially formulated, precision ground and mounted tungsten carbide blades.

Amazon.com Product Description

Versatile and easy enough for anyone to use safely, the AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener lets you quickly sharpen a wide variety of bladed tools, from straight and serrated knives to cleavers and axes. Its unique, ergonomic design guards your fingers while a dependable, diamond-honed tungsten carbide blade puts a precision edge on your tools.

The AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener offers: Speed, safety, and precision A full-length finger guard An ergonomic handle for right- or left-handed sharpening 5 to 10 years of use between blade changes

The tough, tungsten carbide blades are reversible and replaceable. View larger.

This sharpener can even handle serrated knives, making it a perfect pick for kitchens. View larger.

This verstile AccuSharp sharpener is also ideal for sportsmen and craftspeople. View larger.

Versatile, User-Friendly Design
A sharp blade makes it easier to get work done quickly and safely. The innovative AccuSharp Knife Sharpener lets you sharpen most blades in around ten seconds. Sharpening is oil- and mess-free, and it doesn't require guessing at angles or handling rough, awkward stones. This sharpener's easy-to-use design makes it a great tool to have on hand in professional and personal kitchens, as well as an easy choice for hunters, fishermen and women, gardeners, and craftspeople.

Featuring a unique, ergonomic handle, the AccuSharp fits neatly in either hand to accommodate both right- and left-handed users, and it includes a full-length guard that protects your fingers throughout the sharpening process.

Fast, Effective Sharpening
To get started sharpening, you simply place your knife on a table or counter top with the cutting edge up. Hold the knife handle securely with one hand. Then let the "V" notch on the sharpener straddle the blade, and use your thumb to apply light pressure as you draw the AccuSharp down past the point of the blade.

When you first use the AccuSharp on a blade, several passes may be required to make sure that your knife's cutting angle conforms to the AccuSharp angle. But once that angle is achieved the first time, it should take just two or three brief passes to put a sharp edge back on your knife--which means that sharpening fits into your busy schedule instead of interfering with it.

Dependable, Long-Lasting Construction
To deliver years of reliable use, AccuSharp sharpening blades are crafted from diamond-honed tungsten carbide, one of the hardest known materials. And because even the toughest industrial-quality blades eventually begin to show wear, AccuSharp's unique design allows you to reverse the blade to double its life span. Most users report an average of five to 10 years between blade replacements, which means that it's easy to ensure that your sharpener will be ready to go when you need it.

AccuSharp Knife Sharpeners will not rust, and they can be cleaned easily with soap and water or in your dishwasher.

• Sharpens your knives quickly, easily and accurately

I was a pro chef for about 15 years. The customary way to sharpen knifes was a steel and or flat stone. I have bought and used various "sharpening systems" and had ex- pensive electric diamond sharpeners. However, this device is the fastest, cheapest, and best one I have ever used. It puts a very sharp edge on all knives (almost razor sharp), and sharper than any $300 electric sharpener out there. And for the average 8" chefs knife, takes about 20 seconds! Get one of these and you will be amazed how something so simple works so well.

P. Becker "culinary wannabe" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews    Do not, repeat, DO NOT buy some $100+ electric knife sharpener that may or may not be any good. I got a tip on this from Cook's magazine, which reviewed several products and rated this the top manual sharpener. (By the way, Cook's definitely did not recommend the dumb Rachael Ray-sponsored sharpener with the curvy blades and high price tag.) For about $10, this product honed my fancy German knives, and also the old knives I've had for 20 years (chicago cutlery/faberware kinds of knives) that have been dull for a decade. After 20-30 strokes with the tungsten sharpener, those knives were cutting paper like on a Ginsu infomercial (though I didn't try them on a beer can)! I can't say it loud enough--buy this, and you will not be sorry. In fact, buy it for yourself, and get one for anyone you know who appreciates a sharp edge when chopping vegetables.

Simply draw the angled (paired) sharpening stones over your blade, and presto - you have an edge, and a pretty good one too. Best of all, the sharpener is very portable, weighs less than nothing, and fits into backpacks, fishing tackle boxes, hunting fanny pack, etc. with no added weight or bulk. The edge that this sharpener puts on a blade is a great starting point for further honing of the blade to razor sharpness if desired. I have several of these sharpeners. The only drawback is that the sharpening stones wear out after perhaps 6 - 10 sharpenings. But under 10 bucks, this is a bargain.
