M&M'S Characters Cuckoo Clock: Time For M&M'S by The Bradford Exchange Review

MandM'S Characters Cuckoo Clock: Time For MandM'S by The Bradford Exchange
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My son received this clock as a Christmas present last year. The clock design is cute enough, but it is made completely of plastic and requires an itty-bitty screwdriver to open the 2 hatches where you will need to place the batteries and set the time. That's right...every time you want to set the time you have to remove it from the wall and find your tiny screwdriver and set the clock.
What is the kicker for this nearly $200 item is that less than a year later, it doesn't work anymore. The cuckoo part is broken and makes no sound and does not emerge from its little door even though the only time it is ever touched is to replace batteries or change the time.
This supposed collector's item looks and functions no better than any other imported plastic toy junk. I would not buy. Be warned!

Deluxe Chocolate Melter Review

Unlike what another reviewer said, this chocolate melter isn't so good for tempering. I tried tempering chocolate twice with it and while most of it was melted and correctly tempered (you can tell by the gloss and the smoothness), there were some chocolate chips that weren't completely melted. As a result, some of the chocolate turned out okay after putting them in the moulds and cooling them until hard, but some didn't. The ones that didn't had the "bloom" on them the next day (the white fuzzy stuff). I stirred the chocolate constantly. I think it is because the cup has a flat bottom and you end up only successfully tempering the chocolate in the middle and at the top, not the chocolate at the bottom near the sides. Baking experts recommend using a minimum of 1 to 1-1/2 pounds of chocolate for tempering, any less will be apt to burn. The maximum the chocolate melter cup can hold is 1 pound. They also recommend using the microwave method or a double-boiler.
I'm not saying this is a bad product. If you just want to use this for making chocolate to dip things in (which is its main purpose) and you don't need to temper the chocolate, it's fine. If you want to use it for tempering chocolate, be careful (and use only low heat setting). There are better things to use for tempering.

I used to buy wrapped candy for the office dish but decided I could probably save money with a gumball machine.
I'm not sure about the savings bit because now people stop by the office just to use the dispenser. Everyone loves it. I'm very please with my purchase.

CANDY DISPENSER SILVER TOP Review

CANDY DISPENSER SILVER TOP
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This candy dispenser is "just perfect" for the home bar, end table, or coffee table. It is a very attractive piece, standing about 9 inches high, with a silver base and a clear glass globe on top that holds the candy or nuts. It dispenses treats with a smoothly operating ring-shaped lever just above the dispensing chute that one depresses. It is not a children's toy, but it appeals to the child in all of us adults who enjoy our treats within easy reach but with a touch of class.
I have dry-roasted, unsalted peanuts in mine, but the only limitation on what you could dispense with this product is what will fit through the opening. In addition, the dispenser is easy to take apart for filling and cleaning. It is stable on the table, especially when filled, and elicits interest and admiration from guests.
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but who says I can't enjoy my snacks in middle age from a silver candy/nut dispenser?

Gumball Machine Frame - Blue Review

This is Super cute! The only problem is that the candies get stuck. I tried it with peanut m&m's first since it was the whole reason I bought it, but they were a little too big and 1 candy would come out for every 20 turns of the knob. Then I tried regular m&m's and the knob gets stuck and I have to tip the thing upside down and shake it around. Not ideal for something that is hanging on the wall.. Great idea though. Just need to make some adjustments first.

Gaggia 102534 Espresso-Color Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine, Red Review

I had a Breville Cafe Roma, a good machine, but one that I would regard as entry level. Although the Breville had no trouble making espressos with a nice layer of crema, the (recently upgraded) steaming wand was still a weak spot. Also, there's no hot water dispenser on that model.
After extensive research, I decided to purchase the Gaggia Espresso Color. Although no reviews of this model were available, I really liked the price, the color, the overall design, and the favorable reviews I had seen for other machines in the Gaggia line. This machine is compact, stylish, and includes elements found on higher end machines like a commercial portafilter, a stainless steel boiler, and a Pannarello attachment for the steaming wand. Also, I kept coming across the same brand names over and over again with a sterling reputation in the espresso world, and Gaggia is one of those names.
I am very happy with my Gaggia. I really feel that it is a cut above my old Breville. The insides of the machine (the boiler, the heating elements, the valves) are top notch. It is a very efficient machine which does a great job and is worth every penny.
There is a learning curve with this machine because the commercial portafilter does not contain a pressure mechanism like the filters in thermablock systems. The requisite pressure for properly extracted espresso is very dependent on the fineness and consistency of the grind and the pressure used to tamp the coffee. This machine is all about the ritual of making espresso, meaning you need to pay attention to details like prepping and preheating the machine, and minding the coffee grind and the tamp. The reward, however, is an excellent espresso that trumps what is sold at the typical coffee shop. The Pannarello attachment to the steaming wand removes a lot of the guesswork for making steamed milk and foam. The foam I have had from this machine is dense and luscious and makes my latte feel like a mini-vacation;-). The espressos and lattes I have had from this machine far exceed what I had from the Breville. They're also a lot better than what I (used to) get from Starbucks. Thanks to my Gaggia, I can now get my espresso fix at home (and save beaucoup bucks at the same time)!
