New Blogsite Coming Soon.

We've been getting a number questions about the Stumpjack blogs recently. We haven't been updating the blogs regularly of late as I've been working on changing our blog format and hosting over from Blogger to Wordpress. It's been a challenging project but we're almost there. I've deactivated a few of the links on Blogger and will be consolidating the sites into a single format on the forthcoming Wordpress site. Thanks for hanging in there and be prepared for a new look with some new features.

Espresso with a TWIST

Here's the link to my Spill the Beans coffee column in yesterday's HTR. The article is about a cool new espresso gadget called the Mypressi TWIST. I need to point out an important error in the edited version (or more properly, altered version) of the article that went to print. In the article I submitted I had written the second sentence to read "Unfortunately, the price of a quality machine forces many more people to assign such units wish list-only status." I also ended the article with "The Mypressi TWIST offers excellent value at its $170 price tag."

In the published version of the article the staff, for whatever reason, combined the two sentences so that the second sentence erroneously reads "Unfortunately, the $170 price tag of a quality machine forces many more people to assign such units wish list-only status."

Quality counter-top espresso machines do not cost $170. They are quite a bit more expensive than that. The intention with the original last sentence was, of course, to make it clear that the $170 cost of the Mypressi TWIST is a very good value and well under the cost of a good counter-top machine.
