Doesn't work for me. She's frothing milk. Frothed milk shalt not be combined with coffee, only espresso.
I'm not sure whether or not it uses it, but upon installation, it requires access to your "*.facebook" data.
It's just one more layer/company that can access my facebook data...
That's what I was thinking. Steam turbines even use vortex generators and almost all technology in those guys are stolen from old aero ideas.
I think you misunderstood. Her family was helped by a group that aids a lot of homeless families. People are offering to pay for her college because she was smart/diligent enough to earn a position as a finalist in Intel's science talent search. The first was not earned. The second was. She will most likely go on to be successful and support herself and her family.
Extending the moment arm to the length of this lever would be just as, if not more, useful. Crushing by moving a lever is an over-complicated reinvention of the wheel. Look at any manual coffee grinder.
If you are making espresso, you need a very careful consistent grind, thus something with a conical ceramic burr. If you're making french press, just get a blade grinder and shake it once or twice while it's grinding to get everything chopped to about the right coarseness.
Aeropress is tasty and fun, but it comes out much closer to espresso, which you have to dilute with hot water to get coffee (similar to what people do with cold brew in a Toddy). French press will taste like coffee right out of the cylinder. Also, keep in mind the difference between paper and metal filters. Metal lets a little more grit if it's finely ground, but more aromatic oils.
I have this manual guy and just grind away while the water boils. It doesn't take much longer than an electric and is much quieter. [www.amazon.com]
I think most people have tried Keurig. It is a good starter. I think too many people forget how much coffee is like wine and whiskey. Most people just like to drink them for the overall experience (the taste is decent, gets me tipsy, etc.) while a few really care about the nuances. Since coffee is often more accessible than the two aforementioned liquids, more people allow themselves to get uppity about it.
Question 1: Yes, probably. Especially if it is aeropress. I have gotten excellent french pressed coffee from our boiler at work as well. Black tea is often brewed hotter than coffee, so if it works for that, it will work for coffee. (Obviously different water dispensers vary, but most I have seen are quite steamy. The goal is to have it be at least 195 degrees fahrenheit and less than 205, while boiling is 212.)
Question 2: You will never regret putting coffee directly into a thermos immediately after brewing. A decent double walled one can be less than $20. (I started using this metal Contigo one recently and it does an excellent job. You can tell it's working well when the outside of the container never gets warm. I get about 3-4 hours of hot coffee if I don't add cream.)
Question 3: It is better to buy beans and grind them (and more fun to tinker with), but if you go by a grocery store or local coffee shop at least once per week, you can get some ground and they will keep relatively well in an airtight container. It's like the difference between aging whiskey 10 years or 6. On the other hand after it's been a couple of weeks, it will be more like 1-2 year whiskey. Until you start to become interested in single-origin beans (not blends of different roasts from different crops) it's not a huge deal.

Agree.
I think we need fewer people in universities and more in community colleges. Too many people use schools' resources without gaining nearly enough knowledge to justify it. The price hikes are obscene, but so are the number of people getting higher degrees in saturated employment markets that are not necessarily going to advance society.
I'm also just an engineering student, but I think it may work in the long run. It goes something like this:
Small decrease in government funding to Universities -> increase in community college -> trade school and many liberal arts degrees are less expensive and locally accessible -> fewer people that go to universities use the buildings, take up professors time, and make zero dollars/donate nothing after graduation -> lower tuition.
Universities were traditionally privately funded institutions, but once they became accessible to almost anyone (a la community college) people started attending universities instead purely to have a piece of paper that said they got their kindergarten teaching degree (not to knock the 2 teachers in my immediate family) from a prestigious university for the same price as a community college. Making them state sponsored was good in the short run but is not sustainable.
Well, it's an educational tidbit written by a troll. This gentleman was reminding their fellow readers that the reason you don't feel any pain in your brain is because, despite being made almost entirely of nerve cells, there are no physical-sensing nerve endings.
Don't worry, I'm not comparing the media discovering Apple's new toys to enemy countries discovering military secrets. I'm just saying many people survive the implied agony of not telling their kids what they do at work.
A lot of people seem to be okay with working for the American government... Things at Apple seem to get "declassified" after only a few years. Military secrets take much longer.
I've started using dogpile now that the MPAA and RIAA have been pulling results from google searches.
I agree with everything you said except the Klipsch comment. I think before they got popular and price spiked back up, the Klipsch Image S4 was one of the best entry-level earphones for the money. Their 2.1 is also one of the best way to get nice neutral sound at your desk.

"Suffering from [...] art." I love it.
I'm right there with you. I went from reading about 2-3 books/year to 15 so far this year, now that I have a Kindle. I still read just as much, if not more articles, and have just as little time with finishing my degree and working. When I have 20 min. here, 45 min. there, I whip out the Kindle that I always have with me instead of playing little games on the phone that I always have with me.
