No shit, Sherlock. But as a frequent traveler, I can tell you that making an equivalent of 10 cups of coffee's water with a immersion heater or the usually ill-washed mini coffeepot in the room, or bringing along a vessel to heat water in a micro, then schlep all the pieces need to make drip (don't hassle me, I assure you that I have more Chemex coffee makers than you can shake a stick at. I collect all sorts of coffee pots) is a royal pain in the ass.

You will provide a citation to prove that assumption, won't you? That's a nice boy....'cause the guy with the MS in hospitality management studies I just spoke with said that there is no standard procedure one way or the other unless specifically established by corporate or franchisee or anyone else who is managing.

Nice rant, but your suggestion that one "might as well stay home" if one does not want to purchase and discard coffeemakers is offensive. There is nothing "One true path" about questioning this. You're way, way off base on this one. Doesn't mean you're not pursuing a thougtful, resource-conserving life in general, but you've latched onto the wrong argument in this discussion. Steve |

Welcome to life. Everything you do, every choice you make is a trade off. These trade offs are what makes your life affordable, livable and if you want to be, altruistic and utilitarian. Go on...give me a run-down of your life and I'll be happy to pick apart plenty that you do that isn't up to snuff with the latest conservation practices. That doesn't make you band, or foolish or uncaring, it just makes you normal. It is easy to take to the extreme - you will find lunatics and pigs on both ends of the spectrum. We each of us take our own stands on social and environmental issues,. we each find a comfort zone in which to live and to take an isolated incident as Steve did - that of the purchased-left-behind coffee pot, and try to extrapolate that into some uberlifestyle and then criticize a way of living because of such an insignificant and isolated behavior is plain stupid. It is not logical, it is not relevant, it is not beneficial. It's bullshit bravado at its best. It does a disservice to any cause dragged into it. Boron |

Why is it "stupid" to have a preference for not casually throwing out still-perfectly-useful, just-purchased items? If you accepted your own stance above about us each accepting each other's personal comfort zones you would not be having this wild reaction to my statements. And where exactly did I "extrpolate ... into some uberlifestyle?" I hope you can realize that's a completely fictional allegation. Steve |

I give up on coffee that meets expectations when I'm out and >about. Same with ordering wine by the glass to accompany dinner. Right. Some people (including myself) like to do some amount of food preparation when they're traveling (possibly including making coffee). I, personally, like to do this without purchasing then abandoning significant amounts of equipment. I (and for all I know it's just me) would consider going through several coffeemakers per year for this purpose to be significant, and that there are less drastic alternatives. That's why I commented on it. (Perhaps this is a topic that's difficult to comment on at all without encountering a lot of spin.) S. |

I read that they put food coloring in those really cheap tea bags! All nonsense. There's plenty of quality tea sold in teabags and plenty of lousy tea sold loose. Nowadays much of what's marketed loose and in bags isn't even tea, it's a lot of herbal concoctions. |

Nowadays much of what's marketed >loose and in bags isn't even tea, it's a lot of herbal concoctions. What I have generally found, in the last decade or so, is that almost all true tea (black tea, green tea) sold in teabags is not particularly good. Loose tea bought from a good U.S. retail store can be pretty good, but the best tea seems to be what one can purchase in India, China, Korea, etc. (I haven't been to Asia recently but a few folks have gifted me some tea after traveling there.) (In the very distant past I bought really good Oolong tea from The Tea Leaf, but recently as a huge chain I do not think they are doing quite the same.) Whereas the "herbal concoctions" as you phrase it can be really good, even in teabags.... assuming it's a herbal concoction you want. S. |

I don't place much value in taste tests for tea, coffee, wine, booze or any primary ingredient, everyone has a different taster... who's to say that one beer tastes better than another... it's only particular combinations that are objectionable. Beer is wonderful for braising beef... beer for braising chicken is TIAD. |

Amazon has a neat little fix - buy the filter remover - it has rubber on 2 sides and you just pick up the filters with this - its less than $7 and well worth it. Here is the link.

The OP of old postings on Usenet are like Schrödinger's Cat: neither alive or dead until someone spills the beans. If you don't have Google Groups, the OP's existence will not even be known.
