These Mikasa spoons go perfectly with your demitasse or espresso cups. Very delicate with nice finish. We enjoy them every time we use them.

There's not much to say about this item. They're just spoons--but very pretty, dainty espresso spoons. I've enjoyed using them.

This scoop holds two tablespoons. The handle is very easy to hold even for those with difficulty grasping or gripping things.

This is a great coffee scoop, and we have tried many many scoops. Very high quality, nice heavy scoop, excellent firm grip material on the handle, like all of the other Good Grips products. Some coffee scoops hold 1 tablespoon, others hold 2 tablespoons. This one holds 2, which is good in other family, because it reduces the number of scoops needed when making coffee. The flat edge on the scoop makes it very easy press the edge against the inside of the coffee bag to reduce the mess when pulling a full scoop out of the coffee bag. I know it's just a coffee scoop, but it has made our mornings a little brighter! Highly recommended.

My wife and I were very skeptical about Riedell glasses until we did a Riedel Wine Glass Tasting here in Austin. We are now believers, and we now have our Riedel Travel Tote to carry our own glasses when dining out. Sure beat paying retail price and got free shipping, too.

Smart looking case that properly holds and protects your fine stemware. Can hold 4 Vinum Bordeaux--great for a night out at your favorite BYOB.

I am very pleased with this pot rack. I originally wanted the chrome-style rack, but since this was such a good price, I went with the white coating. Not a mistake. It looks very nice in my kitchen, perhaps better than the chrome would have. It was very easy to install. The only thing that would have made it easier was to provide a rectangular 16x18 cardboard template for positioning the screws. The cardboard they included with the hardware was almost, but not quite the right size. I had to cut another piece out myself. This made it easy, because I could just tape it to the ceiling and drill a hole at each corner. The rack is very sturdy and my pots look great on this rack. I recommend ordering an extra set of hooks along with the rack.

I needed to find room for all of my pots and pans because my kitchen cabinets were bursting at the seams (not a pretty sight). I looked at a number of racks and found a large range in prices for relatively similar products. The Rogar was definitely one of the best values that I could find. The only real difference from the higher priced brands is, that the Rogar, in some cases may be a tad bit lighter weight, using slightly thinner stainless steel bands that hold the hooks. The Rogar is by no means cheap or flimsy. It is very well built and can hold heavy pots and pans. My whole collection of All Clad pots and pans (heavy stuff), plus a few extra odd's and ends are happily hanging on the Rogar rack. Rogar also includes an order form for extra pot hooks of various styles and extra chrome chain for hanging if you have an extra high ceiling. Over 10-11 feet, you may need extra chain. Another consideration is lighting. A pot rack may block some of your light. My rack is over my island counter and there has been a slight degrading of the lighting on the island countertop. Over all, it has been an excellent purchase. If I move to another house, and need a pot rack, I will definitely buy another Rogar.

We have been using these for years and the kitties just won't touch 'em. Put them on the couch, every once in awhile if they get confused they'll touch it, feel the stick, and back right off. Most days they remember their last experience though... :)

The strips really keep the cat from scratching the upholstery.

I've had one these puppies hanging on my keychain for about 1 year now and it's been a lifesaver at times. The light comes in handy when you're stuck in a dark spot and I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck without a pen and then suddenly remembered that I did have one, on my knife! The pen hasn't run out yet and always writes great. The scissors cut with the precision you'd expect from a Victorinox knife and the nailfile and knife are always useful whoever you may be. All in all, a great companion to any keychain!

Swiss Army has always produced great knives and this one is no exception. The light is a great add on.

After growing up in Africa, one becomes rather fond of Rooibos tea and I never thought the day would arrive when I would recommend anything but a pure Rooibos tea. Tazo has taken Rooibos tea to a new level by blending African Rooibos (red bush) with hibiscus, lemon myrtle, lemon verbena, orange peel, rosemary, and lemon balm.

Rooibos has quite a distinctive fragrance that reminds me a bit of a fragrant flowers waving in a warm afternoon breeze after an African veld fire. I remember mixing in a tablespoon of condensed milk as a child. Now I mix in powdered milk and honey. Honey seems to bring out the rich flavors in this particular tea blend. For some reason, this blend is rather delicious with a toasted and buttered cinnamon/raisin bagel.

I've recently rediscovered the health benefits of Rooibos although I can truly say I've been drinking this tea for most of my existence on this planet. Rooibos is naturally sweet, very aromatic and is high in magnesium, calcium, iron and copper. Mothers in Africa will often add an infusion of this tea to a bottle of milk for babies to cure colic. An application of cold Rooibos tea can also aid in clearing the skin or is recommended for allergies, indigestion, insomnia and nervous tension.

This is one of the Tazo teas that should not be steeped for too long because of all the delicate flavors. If you enjoy this tea, you might also want to try Tazo Honeybush tea.

I'm giggling over the Tazo "history" on this package. They do love to amuse. I must say that the Tazo company really has my attention with their packaging, amusing tales of ancient Tazo wheels and they know how to blend tea to absolute perfection.

I recieved a sampler pack for christmas and I loved the African
Red Bush tea and have looked several places for it and could not find it. Found it, ordered it I am thrilled. Thank you!!

Such is the case with this tea. This mellow yet very flavorful and pleasant tea is perfect any time you want to relax, and is great for before bed time or after a long day at work to help you unwind. As is typical of my experiences with this brand, the aroma is pleasantly complex. This easily qualifies as the single best tea I've ever had the immense pleasure of enjoying.

"A single cup of Tazo Calm has been known to have the same effect as sitting for 45 minutes in a mountain meadow on a sunny day with your shoes off." ~tea packet

Drinking this particular tea blend almost begs for 32 ounces of water and four tea bags. I brew this tea in my coffee maker by putting the tea bags in the coffee pot and letting the water drip slowly onto the tea bags. Then, I let this brew for an extended period of time or at least 20 minutes. Normally, I put this tea on before I start a yoga workout in the evening. By the time I'm done with the workout, I'm ready to just sit in bed and write in my journal. This is now my tea of choice because it has such a calming effect and the smoothness of this tea is superior especially when blended with orange blossom honey.

This tea has a magical, almost golden color with a sparkle of brass. The ingredients in this herbal blend are almost romantic. How often do you drink a tea with "rose petals" in the blend?

Ingredients: Chamomile flowers, hibiscus flowers, spearmint, lemongrass, rose petals, blackberry leaves, safflowers, peppermint, sarsaparilla, lemon balm, licorice, and other natural flavors.

Drinking Tazo teas could be considered to be a religious experience. Once I tasted the first Tazo tea, I started drinking them religiously.

Chamomile is known for its soothing properties and after drinking this tea I have vivid dreams and my sleep is deep and calm and I wake up refreshed. Tazo Calm Herbal Infusion will allow your body to relax into sleep and can be especially calming after yoga, before bed, or when writing peaceful thoughts in your journal.

To drink this tea in the middle of a mountain meadow would take tea drinking to new levels of bliss. I'll try it one day soon.

After drinking one 16-ounce cup of this Calming infusion, I'm always ready for a second cup!

When I first tasted this herbal infusion it seemed I had tasted this flavor before when I lived in Africa. It is much more delicate than a Rooibos tea and has a golden rose color. When blended with a clover honey, it almost has a hint of lemon.

The Honeybush is a plant that only grows in the high mountains of the Western and Eastern Cape regions of South Africa. I might have first tasted this tea when we visited Cape Town and went to Table Mountain. The plant is harvested during the flowering season.

Honeybush is naturally sweet, caffeine free and has very little tannin. I still enjoy adding honey to this tea to enhance the natural honey flavor. This mineral rich infusion is rather soothing and can help to calm the nervous system.

This is technically a wild mountain tea with a hint of aromatic flowers. I only wish I was drinking this tea while visiting Table Mountain. It gets rather chilly up there when you are overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the best tea I have ever had- so smooth and delicate. I like to mix in a little Splenda and Half & Half.

With as strong a mint aroma as this tea has, I expected it to be cloyingly strong, but was pleasantly surprised by how mellow and refreshing the mint flavor is. Perhaps the addition of tarragon is responsible for this effect. Whatever the cause, this tea, like other teas I've had from this brand, is a masterpiece. If you need a quick pick-me-up during the day but don't want coffee or caffeine jitters, this is great. The aroma alone will keep you going for another hour or two.

THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST HERBAL TEA EVER MADE BY TAZO AND EVERY OTHER COMPANY, WORTH THE MONEY. YOU SAVE WHEN YOU BUY IN BULK.
