i don't often read new york newsday -- more of a new york times kinda girl, but this article caught my attention:

columnist sylvia carter writes on her journey to make good espresso. after searching a bit, she returns to the baseline: a simple krups machine and illy coffee.

my heart immediately leapt out to her. haven't we all been there? she comes so close to finding what she wants, and then, lost -- she falls astray and returns to the safety of compromise and regret.

dear readers: use sylvia as your model. don't sadly settle for less. great coffee is easily within your grasp, once you choose a quality pump machine, a good grinder, and a source for fresh coffee. i've made my recommendations for all of these here; but everyone has their own needs. what works for me may not work for you.

that's why in the past i've always provided links to reliable retailers with proven track records for excellent and friendly customer service. call them and discuss your needs in detail. then bargain with them all ferociously -- it's a competitive area right now, you'll be surprised what deals and goodies you can get!

go forth my friends and make not sylvia's mistakes. . .
