Craig Lundborg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:14:44 PM PST US From: "Alan Kucheck" Subject: Commander-List: If Ted Smith were Italian... --> Commander-List message posted by: "Alan Kucheck" I like my coffee. Ive been though a bunch of grinders over the years and finally got fed up with crap. I went searching for the last coffee grinder I would ever buy it had to be overbuilt, hunky, hard-core. I found what I wanted in an "Italian job" from Mazzer. It stands 18 tall, weighs 22 lbs, has a 1/3HP direct drive motor [must be a 500A/B/S/U model!] and comes with a warning: Intended for skilled personnel only. Here is a picture: http://www.corpespresso.co.nz/mazzer_mini.jpg As I was looking at it this AM, marveling at how incredibly strong and well-built this thing is, I said to my wife, If Ted Smith were Italian, this is the grinder he would have built for his espresso." So, here we go, I thought it might be fun to get some nominations for other gear that Ted Smith might have designed if history had been different. Do you have things so well-designed, so strong, so "classic and right" that, in their own arena, they have that Ted Smith quality and feel?

I bet the coffee also just tastes better - like the difference between flying and taking a trip in a Commander. They both get you there, but, man, is there a difference! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Kucheck" Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2006 4:13 PM Subject: Commander-List: If Ted Smith were Italian... > --> Commander-List message posted by: "Alan Kucheck" > > I like my coffee.
