The 23-year old has found first-team opportunities limited at the Allianz Arena in recent seasons, although he is under contract with the European champions until 2016.
Bremen were reported to have been keen on a move for Contento, but Bayern have told their Bundesliga rivals that they are not prepared to part with the German, Eichin revealed.
"Just recently we have received the clear signal from Bayern Munich that they are not ready to part company with him," he told German newspaper Kreiszeitung Syke.
"Therefore we have stepped out of any bidding. You never know in football but at this point in time, a transfer will not happen."

2013 Willamette Softball Season Outlook
Bearcats to Feature a Young and Talented Team
SALEM, ORE. -- The Willamette University softball team, which will feature a young roster this season, achieved a 21-15 overall record in 2012, including 19-9 in the Northwest Conference (3rd place). Willamette's conference record included a 2-0 road upset of then top-ranked Linfield College on April 14. The Bearcats also qualified for the four-team NWC tournament.
Willamette will field a young but talented team in 2013. Despite having only three seniors and two juniors, Head Coach Damian Williams is optimistic about what the season will bring.
"We will be a young and exciting team this year," Williams said.
The Bearcats hope to capitalize on the return of several offensive standouts. Kelli Snyder (Sr., C, Longview, WA/Kelso HS) led the team with a .400 batting average in 2012. Snyder also ranked first on the team with a .514 on base percentage. She contributed 24 hits and 11 RBIs en route to becoming a First Team All-NWC selection.
Yvonne Drabin (Sr., OF, Fremont, CA/Moreau Catholic HS) also returns as an offensive force for the Bearcats. In 2012, she played in 31 games with 28 starts, was third on the team with a .364 batting average, and contributed 24 hits and 11 RBIs. For her efforts, Drabin was chosen First Team All-NWC.
Heather Winslow (So., OF, Oregon City, OR/Oregon City HS) will work to continue the success from her breakout freshman year. Last spring, Winslow started 33 games and hit .345 with 30 hits and 20 RBIs. She was a power threat for Willamette, and led the team with five home runs and a .644 slugging percentage. Winslow was named Second Team All-NWC for her efforts.
Allie Martin (Jr., UTIL, Thousand Oaks, CA/West Lake HS) will provide valuable experience with both her bat and her glove. Martin hit .237 in 16 appearances last season while driving in nine runs. Just as important was Martin's defensive consistency, as she committed no errors for a 1.000 fielding percentage. On the field, she will step in and play third base for the Bearcats.
Willamette's incoming freshman class adds talent to the team as well. Williams believes that despite their lack of collegiate softball experience, WU's five new players on the team will have an immediate and lasting effect.
"The freshmen are going to make a huge impact," Williams said. "All five players will see lots of playing time."
On the mound, the Bearcats will be aided by the return of Hayley Glantz (So., P, Reno, NV/Robert McQueen HS). Last season Glantz started 16 games, pitched 89 2/3 innings and recorded 42 strikeouts. Glantz was particularly impressive over her last 10 appearances of the season, posting a 6-3 record with a 3.52 ERA.
Joining Glantz on the pitching staff will be freshmen Victoria Bradshaw (Fr., P, Discovery Bay, CA/Liberty HS) and Erin Bueser (Fr., P, Mill Creek, WA/Henry M. Jackson HS). Bradshaw was named First Team All-League during her senior year pitching for Liberty High School. Bueser was a three-year varsity letterwinner at Henry M. Jackson High School and served as the team captain her senior year.
Willamette will open its season this weekend, Feb. 16-17, when it travels to Clackamas, Ore. to participate in the Northwest Cup. The Bearcats will play four games over the course of the weekend: Sat., Feb. 16 – vs. College of Idaho, 9 a.m. (PST); vs. Corban, 11 a.m.; Sun., Feb. 17 – vs. Oregon Tech, 1 p.m.; vs. Concordia, 3 p.m.
The Bearcats will begin conference play the following weekend, Feb. 23-24, with a four-game home series against George Fox University. The teams will play two games at the WU Softball Field starting at 12 p.m. (PST) each day.

I really thought I'd see a difference, but it was almost imperceptible. I want to really bulk (215 at a minimum) and reassess from there before I even think of taking more pictures.

Well, when I had my squat meltdown last week, it was after I tried powerlifting squats after not having squatted heavy since November. And 240x3 felt
last week, which is why I was so disappointed since in November I squatted 390x1 and 350x5. I theorized since my other lifts were going well, that is was largely a nervous system/motor pattern issue and I could get back on track in a reasonable amount of time. Well, I think I was right.
320x3 is not where I should be, it's about 40lbs weaker (given a PR of 350x5, I could have handled rougly 360x3 back in November)...
it is a heck of a lot better than 240 feeling heavy one week ago!
Thanks again to all those who encouraged me. I am getting back on track and will continue to work to get to where I was and surpass that.
Chins felt good, hoping to hit a PR, but I hit a wall on the 14th rep. Added straps on the 3rd and 4th set. I have never done that before, just wanted to see if I could get an extra rep or 2 out of it due to the stress off the forearms. I think it did help, my reps didn't go down from set 2 to 3 and I was going for max reps each set so I typically expect a decrease.
Diet update:

Media from across the country arrived at the Bright Complex at Texas A&M Tuesday for the first ever news conference with Johnny Manziel.
"He hasn't spoken with the media this year, so this is an opportunity that a lot of people are taking advantage of," said Alan Cannon, Texas A&M Media Relations.
The country heard Manziel speak in a teleconference Monday, but no one had seen the freshman football phenomenon speak on camera before the news conference Tuesday afternoon.
A&M officials said they expected at least a hundred members of the media to attend the news conference at the Bright Complex.
"They're coming in from Dallas, Houston, San Antonio. We'll have USA today, Sports Illustrated, and we've had the folks from ESPN here all day," said Cannon.
So why all the hype about hearing Johnny Football speak?
"You can watch YouTube, or you can watch cable stations, and you can see and hear from just about anyone at any time. We've been able to see this guy, but we haven't been able to hear from him in the longest time," said Victor Diaz with Austin's Your News Now.
That's why camera crews from across the country packed into the 200-seat auditorium in the bright complex hours early
Johnny Football told reporters his success on the field was a dream come true. But if you looked at the crows in the Bright Complex Auditorium Tuesday, you might think seeing the first-ever freshman Heisman candidate speak was Aggieland's dream come true.

The most beautiful, the realm beyond imagination
the end of your mortality, the judging of your soul.
Today I stood in heaven's doorway to face God's verdict,
I've never imagined, I'm still young, too young.
I have so many dreams not yet fulfilled
but there's a feeling, peace and comfort I can't resist
I see happiness without end, love without envy,
life without hatred, God eternity.
I look back, my family, friends and enemies I saw
I felt lonely and discontented without their forgiveness
suddenly I hear voices.."One more step and be with us".
Minutes and hours passed, I decided to take that step..
then I woke..heard chattering, laughing, my siblings arrived,
So glorious, it's going to be fun...Oh If I take that step I will be dead by now!

Having an Android device is no longer a requirement for Asus device owners that want access to the vast library of Android apps thanks to a new partnership between Asus and Bluestacks announced today.
Bluestacks is an incredibly cool company that's developing technology allowing people to use Android apps on Windows machines. It's essentially doing for Windows what Parallels does for Mac owners that want to run Windows programs. However, Bluestacks' strategy is focused on blurring the lines between mobile and desktop apps.
Sponsored by VB
Per terms of the partnership, Bluestacks is integrating this technology within Asus Vibe, an entertainment platform that comes preloaded on all Asus desktops, notebooks, Eee PCs, and other devices made by the company. The Vibe platform will launch with the new Android player ability at this year's Computex event, and provide users will access to
"Our strong portfolio of apps from top developers, combined with our unique monetization engine makes this a revenue-generating opportunity for PC OEMs," said Bluestacks President and CEO said Rosen Sharma in a statement.
Check out a demo video of Asus' Vibe platform below, courtesy of Bluestacks. It starts by showing off the ability to run visual notation app Skitch — traditionally used by only mobile and Apple users — on a Windows machine.
Founded in 2009, the San Francisco, Calif.-based startup has offices in India, Taiwan and Japan. The company raised $10.6 million in funding back in September 2011.

Book Review 266: "Only a Poor Old Man"
February 17, 2013 - Harry Eagar
Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge: 'Only a Poor Old Man,' by Carl Barks. 240 pages. Fantagraphics
Uncle Scrooge was my favorite comic when I was 8 or 9 years old, although my favorite character was Gyro Gearloose. I never could get enough of him.
I did not know that the author-illustrator of the comic was Carl Barks – Disney was careful not to allow credit to accrue to anybody but Disney.
Barks was a westerner, born in 1901, one of the last of that great generation of free spirits that also produced Linus Pauling and Eric Hoffer. Barks's accomplishments were less ambitious but, as it has turned out, still full of ideas for later readers to mine.
This volume has commentary by a gaggle of American and, curiously, Italian scholars, mainly academics.
This volume, 12th in the Fantagraphics catalogue raisonne of Barks but first in terms of the McDuck legend, introduces the skinflinty but honest Scotch duck and explains where he accumulated his "three cubic acres" of money.
My boyhood reading came a little later in the series, and I was surprised to see how hard-edged the original Barks conception was. Scrooge, though honest, was ready to take advantage of the unwary (and was consequently often taken advantage of because of his own reluctance to pay a reasonable rate for services); and the Beagle Boys were not only vicious but cruel and murderous. Those qualities softened as the Eisenhower years rolled on.
Barks was not political; none of the monarchism that makes Disney so unpalatable ever seeped into Duckburg, but his attitude toward wealth and the getting and spending of it was complex, as befitted a child of the frontier, where great disparities of wealth were usual and where Barks himself was one of the have-nots.
Scrooge liked money for its own sake. He was not one for luxury, except the luxury of swimming in money. But he also was not the pinched and querulous miser of classic aspect – he was not like Ebenezer Scrooge. He did not hate and fear people with less money (though he feared the Beagle Boys' schemes), which distinguishes him from today's rich. Scrooge McDuck just liked money.
Much of the appeal of the great comic artists was their subversive intent. Barks's subversion centered on Huey, Dewey and Louie, young ducklings who consistently showed more common sense and foresight than any older residents of Duckburg.
As with all Fantagraphics reprints, "Only a Poor Old Man" is done in first-rate style all the way. They are not cheap, and Scrooge would be loath to buy his own book, but in the long run they are worth it.

Many people, adults and children should watch Classic Disney. Lots of good movies made. One of the first station we in my family watched when TV first came out. Besides Ed Sullivan in Black and White. TV tube would blow and we had to get a repairman to fix it.

Here's To The Death Of "Personal Branding" On The Internet
I'm not exactly sure who made being a "personal brand" a thing on the Internet, but I'd really like to sit down with them and ask them why they thought that it was a good idea. You see, an entire ecosystem of people looking to make money have cropped up around this notion of helping people become a "brand." Honestly, it's bull, and I'd like to see… Read More

Full detailed profile on Sean Montgomery Played by Brent Weber on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
Brent Weber
Birthday: 1980-06-16
At Jack's home, he asks Barbara if she will stay to care for Sean and Lily while he goes to Vegas to find Kendall. Barbara surprises him by telling him she will, and reveals that she called Reggie to let him know she was around, too! Assuring Jack that she can handle the kids, she wishes him good luck. Erica arrives with one more surprise - she is going to Vegas with him! Jack tells Erica to stay away and Barbara backs him up. Telling Barbara to back off, Jack focuses on Erica. "This guy's not playing by any rules," he exclaims as Barbara listens in. Erica won't back down, and Barbara comes out. Hoping to put another barrier between them, Barbara lets it slip that Erica is sleeping with Jeff! Jack leaves and Erica follows him out, telling him not to believe Barbara's lies. "We both know you're sleeping with Jeff," he says sadly. Erica tries to explain, but can't, and Jack walks quickly away. Realizing what she has done, Erica goes back inside. Angry, she smacks Barbara - hard! - across the face. Catty, Barbara tells Erica that she knows Jack and suggests that she is his lover. Erica tells the other woman to leave her home, but Barbara isn't leaving. Thinking that she is using Sean and Lily to get to Jack, Erica confronts Barbara. "You were always the pathetic, desperate consolation prize," Erica says and leaves. Sean comes in and Barbara offers to check his homework. Sean doesn't know how to react to her offer. He tells her to leave - he doesn't need her pretending to be his mother! Barbara tells him Jack asked her to stay so she is staying. "But he doesn't want you," Sean says and tells her to move on. Barbara tells Sean she isn't just there for Jack; she is also there to try to be a better mother. Sean doesn't buy it. "Don't ever try to play me," he says and leaves the room.
At the Chandler mansion, Adam wraps Krystal in a blanket and puts her to bed. "I'd do anything to give her back to you," he says, holding her tight. As Krystal rests, Colby walks in with tea and tells her to eat. Krystal is cradling a pillow against her body, like a child. "I'll never be able to hold my daughter again," she cries. Colby offers to be a stand-in for Babe. "Maybe you could hold me and pretend you have her back," she says. Krystal tells Colby she doesn't have to be anyone but herself and hugs her tightly. Adam walks in, smiling at the two of them. Alone in the room, Adam tells Krystal how proud he is of her. She raised Babe alone and she did a great job. "I want Charlotte to be you," Krystal says. "And she will be." Outside on the terrace, Colby is crying. Sean arrives and hugs her close. He tells her about his father, and the fact that he still misses him. They sit quietly, gazing at the moon.
Jack arrives home, to find Barbara inside. Surprised, he asks what she is doing there. "You don't know how much I've missed you," she says and kisses him! Erica walks in, stunned to see Jack and Barbara kissing. Slamming the door, Erica asks to see Jack alone. Barbara interrupts. "Center of the galaxy, you haven't changed at all," she says. Erica tries to shut Barbara out and asks for Jack's help with Josh - the boy is gone and Erica hasn't been able to reach him. Barbara continues to interrupt. "Why are you here again?" Jack asks and tells Barbara to go away. She won't leave, annoying Erica, who continues asking Jack for help. He won't budge; there are too many other things going on that he can't drop. But he has as idea. "Why don�t you talk to Jeff. I'm sure he could help," Jack says. This angers Erica who slams out of the apartment. Happy to be alone with Jack, Barbara tries to come on to him. But Jack again asks her to leave. Sean comes in. "Yeah. Why don't you just go?" he asks. Barbara doesn't want to leave, but seeing that Sean really doesn't want her around, Barbara says she will get a hotel room or stay with Myrtle. Exasperated, Jack tells her she can stay there, but only if she will stay out of his way! He leaves to change clothes. Alone in the room, Barbara tries to play mommy to Sean, who isn't biting. "The only reason you're here is to tag Uncle Jack," he says and informs her it won't work. He believes Jack and Erica still have a chance! In the hall, Jack receives a call from Josh. Jack tells him he is on the way to the funeral. "You keep in touch," Jack says.
At Sean's apartment, Erica is surprised by Barbara's appearance. Just how long is she going to be in Pine Valley, playing good-mother? Why doesn't she just take on someone her own size - like Erica? Barbara brings up their past rivalry over Jack and Trevor, bringing up Erica's hackles. Sean listens from outside the room and interrupts the women before they can really get going. He hugs Erica, much to Barbara's dismay. Lilly comes in to give them the news - there's been another attack, but she doesn't know who was hurt. Sean and Erica hurry out. Left alone, Barbara tries to talk to Lilly about Jack and Erica's marriage. Lilly is obviously nervous around Barbara, but the woman won't leave her alone. Instead, she enlists Lilly's help to find ways to help Jack "relax"!
At the courthouse, Sean and Colby are miserable, but relieved to see Jack, Adam and Krystal arrive. Colby asks what her father has been able to do about the charges. "Nothing,' he tells her, "the D.A. won't drop the charges and this judge can't be influenced." Jack advises the pair to plead guilty and apologize.
The charges are read to Colby and Sean in court. It was a busy night, the judge says, these are serious charges. Sean tells the judge it was a big mistake, because he wouldn't have taken the supervisors limo if he had known who it belonged to. Colby says the mistake was giving the officers the fake ID, and that they didn't drink ThAT much champgne. The judge tells the spoiled duo that prison time is a reality, then calls for a recess to give them time to think!
In the courtroom, Sean assures Jack he'll be sticking by Colby since the joyride was his idea. Colby spends the recess begging 'Daddy' to do something, until Krystal paints her a scary picture of life behind bars with no Daddy to help her.
As the judge calls the court back into session, Colby announces that she knew what they were doing was illegal but she didn't care, didn't think about other people or what could happen. She asks for a second chance and please no prison time! Sean gets up and says he was trying to be cool - it was a big mistake and he too knew it was wrong, but didn't care. He says he was an idiot and that he is sorry. It's not enough to be sorry, the judge declares, it's your actions and what you do with your second chance should you be granted one that matters. The judge is ready to pass sentencing...
Adam rushes to the police station where Colby has been arrested. She insists that Chief Frye has something against the Chandlers, and that's the only reason she's in trouble.
Jack arrives to see Sean, and they learn that Erica has moved back to the Valley Inn. Jack wants to know what the heck Sean was thinking when he drank and commandeered the limo.
Jack tells Adam that he has no intention of bailing out Sean, saying jail will be a lesson in consequences for the teen. Krystal agrees that's a good idea, and suggests that Adam do the same. He thinks that's crazy, but she insists he's "creating a monster" by saving Colby every time she does something wrong.
Krystal convinces Adam, and they leave Colby at the station.
Colby insists to Sean that this demonstrates that Adam really doesn't want her. The next time Sean's planning a road trip�she's in.
Colby and Sean are bummed since her credit card was declined by the limo company. How can they get to Manhattan for New Year's Eve? Sean saves the day by impersonating Nico and commandeering another limo. They're having a nice time, sipping champagne and heading towards New York when sirens are heard, and suddenly the police stop the limo and discover the impostors. They're arrested for a number of offenses, including theft of services and underage drinking.

Ah, I thought it was just me that experienced some odd control issues! Sometimes Scrooge just doesn't whip that stick out in time lol
Good game though, even on easy I'm getting battered - maybe I'm just that bad!
For anyone born in the late 1980s and the early 1990s, DuckTales may ring a few bells. Known for its classic Disney vibe and catchy theme tune, DuckTales spawned various different pieces of media and merchandise. Amongst these included an official video game, developed by Capcom for the NES, which used the original Mega Man architecture. Recently, it was announced that WayForward would be remaking the game, with beautiful high definition sprites and original voice acting. Cubed3 travels to Duckburg, where life is like a hurricane, to see if this spruced up version of DuckTales is worth parting with your gold.
In DuckTales: Remastered, players take control of Scrooge McDuck, who has had yet another run in with the Beagle Boys in an effort to steal all of his fortunes. Upon averting the attempted robbery, Scrooge and his great-nephews come across a map which houses the location of numerous priceless artefacts. To get to this treasure, Scrooge must travel through exotic locations such as The Amazon, Transylvania and even The Moon! However, finding these treasures does not prove to be an easy task for Scrooge and the boys, as they must overcome many obstacles and challenges along the way.
The game features full voice acting, including some of the original cast members from the animated series. Alan Young reprises his role as Scrooge McDuck and sounds as fantastic as ever, throwing pieces of hilarious dialogue to and from characters. Sadly, due to some of the original cast passing away, their characters are voiced by fresh new voice actors. With that being said, though, the new cast brings life to the characters in the same way that the original cast did, resulting in the success to bring back the classic DuckTales light-hearted humour.
In many ways, DuckTales: Remastered is incredibly identical to that of its NES predecessor, but WayForward has slowed down the overall pace of the game, fitting in various cut-scenes whenever appropriate. Fans of the original game will immediately notice similarities between the two, as all of the hidden treasure locations and passages come flooding back to them. Whilst this new, slower process of getting through the game may put some fans off, the introduction of story elements and conversations between characters will appeal to a younger audience and even some fans who loved the animated show. Even if these cut-scenes are not to the player's taste, they can easily be skipped by pressing Start, followed by the A button.
The game also features a recreated soundtrack, which uses the same arrangements as the original title but gives it a more modern feel. The great aspect about the music in DuckTales: Remastered is that once the game has been beaten, the option to freely switch between the modern and original soundtracks is unlocked.
Like the version on the NES, players can choose to play any of the five levels in their preferred order. The lack of linearity doesn't stop there, though, as different paths to navigate through each level can also be taken. However, unlike the original game, players are forced to collect items in order to progress further in the level. For example, in The Amazon, Scrooge must collect and insert eight coins into a statue in order to bypass it. It's hard to say whether this drastic change is a good thing or a bad thing, as it also slows down the progress of the game; especially for players who keep losing their lives, forcing them to start the level as if they had never visited before.
WayForward definitely got one thing right when recreating the DuckTales experience, and that's the unforgiving difficulty contained in earlier NES games. Sometimes the game feels kind of cheap; for instance, when trying to pogo over obstacles, Scrooge won't always get his cane out and he'll just land straight into the trap he is trying to avoid, instead. Most of the time, the controls are flawless, but on other occasions, Scrooge just won't respond to the button presses.
On the positive side of things, DuckTales: Remastered as a whole is a love letter to fans of the animated series and the original game. It is a level-for-level recreation of the retro title, with plenty of content available to purchase using the in-game currency collected by Scrooge. Although it can be unforgiving at times and it may not be perfect, WayForward has done a good job at sticking to the original's gameplay, if not a great one.
The pogo action from the original remains to be just as fun in this remake, with new story elements and forced collectibles which may or may not sit well with fans of the NES version. Although the controls can be unresponsive at times, they usually work flawlessly.
Beautiful hand drawn sprites, which have been fluidly animated to make DuckTales: Remastered feel like a mixture of both the original game and the animated TV series. The hand drawn sprites presented on the 3D backgrounds may not be to everyone's taste, but it still remains faithful to the classic NES title.
Stellar voice acting provided by both the original cast members and a few new voices bring the game to life, accompanied by the recreated soundtrack and the ability to switch between the modern and retro music. WayForward can definitely not be faulted when it comes to the audio included in the game.
DuckTales: Remastered is a relatively short but unforgiving game, just like the original NES title. There are three difficulties available at the start, with a fourth becoming available later on. If players want to purchase all of the character profiles, concept art and music from the soundtrack, they will have to play through the game a number of times before they can view it all.
Whilst not perfect, DuckTales: Remastered stays faithful to the NES original and its gameplay mechanics, with the exception of forced collectibles and prolonging levels with cut-scenes. Fans of the show will be pleased to know that Alan Young has reprised his role as Scrooge McDuck and he still does a fantastic job at it, despite being much older now. For fans of the classic that like the inclusion of full voice acting and don't mind exploring every inch of a level to gather items required to progress, definitely check this out. However, for those that didn't like the NES version of DuckTales and despise the unforgiving difficulty of retro titles, steer clear of this remaster.

Ah, I thought it was just me that experienced some odd control issues! Sometimes Scrooge just doesn't whip that stick out in time lol
Good game though, even on easy I'm getting battered - maybe I'm just that bad!
I guess it's because Scrooge is getting old now.
Hopefully they patch it and fix the controls a little. Other than that though, enjoyable game.
I started on medium, didn't touch easy, but I agree, the game can be pretty challenging at times.
I would have paid £5-8 for this but £12! Most preowned (if not all) Wii U games i see right now are around £12-£15 and they are disc based!

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, could serve her constituents' interests better by being a little more nuanced. In a Nov. 26 Columbian interview, "Herrera Beutler: Sights are set on second term," she interpreted recent election results to mean "the voters in Clark County just said they don't like the transit portion of the CRC enough to pay for it." Not true. Many of us (who strongly support a light rail CRC) voted against C-Tran's proposed method of paying for ongoing maintenance costs — not against light rail per se. We think C-Tran can come up with better solutions.
I'd like to believe that Herrera Beutler already knows this (she indicated openness to light rail during her campaign), and that she, and her Republican colleagues, were not just looking for a pretext to bolster their opposition to "the transit portion."
Come on, Jaime, please don't make fools of those of us who want to trust and work with you on making Clark County the best that it can be.

You might have Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH), which is a skin ailment that only celiacs suffer from. While you're going gluten free, try to go iodine free, too. A lot of people need to ingest both gluten and iodine to break out in DH. Iodine can be found in iodized salt (you can buy non-iodized salt instead), seafood, asparagus, salty foods (french fries, chips, etc.), and sometimes dairy, depending on where you live.

Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
Simple. Durable. Great coffee. If it ever breaks, I will buy a new one, and we have tried all the usual suspects. Coffee is simple, so why complicate it?
Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
If you stumble around first thing in the morning as I do this is a little complicated to put together and get working. The bottom plate is not attached and if not in place the coffee goes everywhere but in the jug. Excellent coffee when it does work
Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
OK, I've been drinking swill all these years. I admit it. Between the cheap drip makers, the various single serve machines (including a Verismo) and even a French Press, nothing has equaled what I got in the 1st pot from this maker. I did run it twice to rinse it out and then followed the instructions on how much coffee to put in according to the instruction booklet. I used a Kona coffee blend that I had recently ground and it had a PERFECT flavor. Tasted like the best coffee house coffee. Now, it isn't cheap but in this case, you can spend money on this and save money buying pounds of coffee or buy a decent single serve machine and then spend a boat load on pods/discs/cups. Look at the cost over time...given that this has a 5 year warranty, figure how many machines you will buy in that time.
As far as the carafe is concerned, there was another reviewer that complained that the coffee got cold quickly. I honestly experienced a better experience. I put the sealing cap on the carafe and came back 45 minutes later for cup #2. Still hot. 4.5 hours after that, I opened the cap and heard a vacuum seal break. The coffee was still steaming. Cup #3 was still perfectly acceptable and only was affected by the creamer I put in it (which was back in the fridge due to the time between cups). I found this to be better than expected and thought I was going to have to dump it all (and no, I don't do iced coffee). Pleasant surprise!
Overall, I am pleased. Shipping was quick and arrived perfectly.
Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
Let's be honest... Nobody wakes up in the morning thinking, "today I want to spend $300 on a drip coffee maker."
I mean, it almost sounds ridiculous! But then, because of your love for coffee, you see this beautiful machine and see how it's rated the best all over the Internet. So you bite the bullet and buy it. You start to have buyers remorse.
You wake up the next morning thinking, "what?? I just spent $300 on a drip coffee machine?! What was I thinking?!"
You start thinking about returning it, but you have to at least TRY it. What's all the fuss about anyway?
So you go ahead and make your first pot. You fresh grind your beans, preheat your thermos, and watch every drip go through that amazingly fast copper heating element.
***its finally done!*** (which actually only took 4 min.)
You pour your first cup of coffee into your favorite mug, that you also preheated of course... And then it hits you:
It's true. That's my story. No more buyers remorse. You really do get what you pay for.
My favorite features besides the design (coming from a Starbucks store manager and certified Coffee Master):
- The 200 degree temperature coffee. It's truly amazing the effect this has on the quality of your brew.
- The fast machine. I usually make 8 cups which takes the machine 4 minutes!
- The shower head water dispenser. It's lines in copper to maintain the temperature of the water going through it, and it has 9 holes to shower over your grounds. Essentially you get an electronic pour over.
You'll notice a taste and quality difference the MOMENT you take your first sip, but for kicks and giggles, brew it and your other machine side by shade with the same fresh grounds, etc. There is no way you won't notice the difference.
If you prefer to make your coffee at home (like me), this coffee maker will change your mornings forever. Enjoy.
Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
After living in Colombia for over 4 years, I've turned into a real coffee drinker. Even after moving back to Texas, with my Colombian wife, we still buy all of our coffee in Colombia, Sorry Starbucks. For the past 15+ years, we've had 2 coffee makers, one 12+ and the other failed after only 3 years. For whatever reason, I started shopping around, though I was boiling water and pouring it directly over the coffee each day. After about 10 days, I narrowed it down to the Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm and my love for the cup of "joe" become much deeper. I can't believe that I've drank hundreds, most likely thousands of cups that were brewed in what they call and sell as coffee makers. I now know what a real cup of coffee is to taste like and it's not bitter for sure. The only issue now is that my wife and teens are now drinking more, which isn't a real problem since it only takes 5 to 6 minutes to brew another 40oz. pot. Just set back and watch the "Lava Lamp" Moccamaster brew you up what's been the best cup of coffee I've ever experienced.
It's a must and a great Christmas gift for family and more importantly yourself.
Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
This coffee maker is pristine!! Very easy to use and very clean/cool look! Wish they had a screen filter.
Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
This coffee maker is excellent. It brews fast (under 5 minutes) and hot. I love the automatic cut off, so once the coffee drips into the thermal carafe, we carry it outside to enjoy with our morning reading or birding.
This is too tall to fit under the cabinets conveniently, and some of the parts are not attached, so it requires a little extra effort...all worth it for the delicious brew. It is a step in the ceremony of that first morning brew!
Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
This is the best drip coffee maker I have ever owned. I have had it now for 6 months and still love it.
Only caution - make sure to look at the dimensions closely if you are planning on sliding this under a cabinet. It is a lot taller than my other coffee makers and barely fits.

I love all kinds of coffee from all over the world.
The frist coffee that i made was Kopi and the Moccamaster let me savor every detail.
Comments about Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm:
When my husband made the first pot we were so excited to try it. We were amazing how good it brewed. The taste was exceptional. The time to brew was less than 5 mins. This coffee pot is our new favorite gadget.

Product arrived x3 and leaked into snap lock bag. Outside labels were soaked/damaged.
It's sweet...
Posted by saralovesiherb on Nov 09, 2014
I may have missed something, but I wouldn't call this a seasoning sauce. It's really really sweet. I felt like I was covering my food in sugar (after reading the label, I pretty much was) and wasn't as expected.

Doesn't have as much taste as tamari sauce in my stir fries so was a little disappointing. However it does smell great and maybe if I use more of it there will be a stronger taste :) I'll experiment
Posted by 4737156218367784817 on Feb 24, 2014
I ordered 2 bottles, both arrived with good and protection around the bottle but one of the sauce overflowed although the bottle is not broken may be due to the drastic change in temperature and caused the sauce to bubble out of the bottom. Otherwise taste is good. Recommended for dipping only.

the taste is not powerful and I didn't taste any coconut flavor. Perhaps I'm not suppose to.
