The Frigidaire PureSource 2 Water Filter is one of the leading filtration units in the market and is capable of virtually eliminating any trace of such things as cysts, particulates, lead, mercury, herbicides, Alachlor and other impurities.

This unit is simple to slide in and out of position making the process of replacement an easy task.

A refrigerator water filter is even more effective if it is replaced on a regular basis with the recommended interval being around every six months. The reason for this is because as the water filter does its job it collects the contaminants eventually saturate the unit. As the build up continues the filter becomes less effective and the contaminants can begin to leak into the processed water. This means your water filter is not capable of doing its job any longer and you may have noticed that the taste of the water was beginning to deteriorate or that the water pressure had dropped.

This product fits all Frigidaire & Kenmore refrigerators with a slide out filter cartridge.

The Bialetti Moka Stovetop Espresso Maker

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

The Bialetti Moka Stovetop Espresso Maker originated in Italy when Alfonso Bialetti created his stovetop coffee maker in 1933. Ever since, the espresso coffee makers have been a staple part of the Italian household with the majority of homes containing one. As far as most people are concerned when you talk about Italian espresso you will find that they have come out of a Bialetti stovetop espresso maker.

It probably should be pointed out that if you were in Italy this would be known as a Moka machine which is what we know as an espresso.

The Bialetti espresso maker is made out of aluminum and is octagonal in shape, a distinctive design that is quite well known in the espresso making world. Also very distinctive is the “Little Man” logo on the side of the pot which is also a very recognisable symbol throughout Europe.

Features of the Bialetti Moka Stovetop Espresso Maker

This espresso maker comes in a range of sizes so it is possible to buy the one that best suits your lifestyle. If you live alone or only one person in the household drinks coffee then you will only need to buy the 1 espresso cup model. For larger gatherings you can get the larger capacity makers right up to the 12 cup model.

Coffee Maker sizes available

No of Cups Capacity Height Base Width
1 cup 2.0 fl oz / 60ml 5 ¼” 2 ½”
3 cups 6.5 fl oz / 200ml 6 ¼” 3 ¼”
6 cups 10.0 fl oz / 300ml 8 ½” 4”
9 cups 18.5 fl oz / 550ml 10” 4 1/8”

 Each of these coffee makers are available for sale from various online and bricks and mortar stores. More details on how you can buy one are available below.

Cautionary Notes About the Bialetti Moka Stovetop Espresso Maker

This coffee maker does not make espresso coffee, at least, not what espresso drinkers would call espresso. Instead it makes a dark concentrated coffee that is similar in style but certainly not the same.

Do not wash the machine with detergent, instead just rinse it under the tap.

The more often the machine is used the better the coffee will taste. If you haven’t made coffee with the machine for a while you should make a weak coffee and throw it out.

How To Use the Bialetti Moka Stovetop Espresso Maker

Open the coffee maker by unscrewing the top and bottom chambers. Take out the coffee basket and then fill the lower chamber with cool water. You should then fill the coffee basket with your coffee, any type of coffee will do but make sure it is medium to coarse grind or else the pot will not operate as expected.

Make sure the coffee maker has been put back together again properly with both halves joined together securely. No you can place the coffee maker on the stove over a medium flame. If the flame is too high the handle on the coffee maker will be in danger of melting.

When the upper chamber of the coffee maker is filled, usually after around 4 – 5 minutes, the coffee maker should be taken off the flame immediately. You should never boil the coffee inside the coffee maker because it will not only adversely affect the taste of the coffee but it will also damage the coffee maker.

How to fit a Dishwasher into a Tiny Kitchen

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

In this day and age, many people live in apartments that have way-to-small kitchens.  If this sounds familiar to you, then read on.  It is tough to even prepare meals in them, let alone fit another bulky appliance into them.  The fact is that most people in western countries have grown accustomed to using a dishwasher.  To go back to washing dishes by hand in the sink can feel like getting tossed back to the Stone Age for some.  One problem people face is that their kitchen doesn’t have a dishwasher, and there really isn’t room for one.  If you are in this situation, you have a few choices.

First, you need to decide whether you need a full sized dishwasher or a small, tabletop unit.  The large ones will be able to handle almost anything you can toss into them, but a compact tabletop dishwasher will only be able to hold 4 place settings.  If you are just looking for a cheap dishwasher that is simple to hook up, I would definitely go with a portable tabletop unit.  There is no plumbing to be done, since they just get hooked up directly to the faucet on the kitchen sink.  The downside to them is that they are a bulky appliance about the size of a microwave, and will take up space in your kitchen.  Many people solve this problem by putting them on a rolling cart, which can be simply pushed next to the sink for use.

If you don’t like the thought of having a bulky appliance hooked up to your sink, or have a lot of dishes to wash everyday, you will most likely need a large dishwasher.  If this is the case, an option is to remove one of the lower kitchen cabinets and install a slimline dishwasher.  These units are designed to fit into smaller spaces than normal dishwashers. You will need to hook up the water intake and drain tubes to the plumbing, but any good plumber should be able to tackle a job like this easily.  You can even do it yourself if you have the inclination.
