Yes, I picked one up a few days ago. I love it, and I see they now have a 2 year warranty. I think it was only 1 year before.

I used to have a Brikka (older model), but after I ruined it, I bought a Moka (since it was cheaper and because it got such good reviews). I ended up selling the Moka shortly after because I'd rather drink instant coffee - I just couldn't stand the taste of the Moka. From someone who downgraded from a Brikka to a Moka, it was kind of unacceptable. I think it would definitely be worth a try to upgrade. Let us know what you think!Oh, just fyi, it's cheaper to get the Brikka from the actual Bialetti website (free shipping for the 4-cup) than it is to buy it on Amazon, I have no idea why.

Yeah, I guess it's worth that. For the 250$ I paid for you can get a much better brewer, but in the 100$ range I'd say its worth it.

It's better than BB, in ingredients, nutritional content, and cost. Most of the cost in Blue Buffalo is due to all the advertising they do. Who do they pass that cost onto? Us. Also, the protein levels in the BB Wilderness are extremely high, in my opinion. I know we all think "the more protein the better" which is not always the case.

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.

If you go to the Braun website, they have a comparison chart. For me it was mainly the better reviews. Plus there are video reviews from someone on YouTube.

Mark, I did not find that true. After writing my review I went back and looked at other reviews, it was pretty consistent with regards to flaws with the unit. Don't be fooled by the looks of the unit or the name Krups.Good luck.

The B130 is a single cup brewer 8 oz at a time. Most of the other models have a large reservoir . The only draw back of the B-103 is you have to wait for the water to heat, where as the reservoir models store hot water for "instant" brewing, but hey, I can wait tow or three minutes.

They're both basically the same other than this one being a little cheaper price wise the the T-fal name on it and the B100 being a bit more with the krupps name on it. The main difference between these two and the higher end models is the higher ones have digital displays, but functionally they all do the same thing.

It has been a long time since I tried home brewing, but from what I remember (and from studying the culinary arts for many years), I would suggest that the digital thermometer would be more accurate than the IR (I also have one of those and use it almost daily). Unless you already have an IR, don't buy one just for this. If you already have one, try them both out. I am sure you will find this digital the best of the two by far. :) (Right on KWS...it is not "instant", but 5 secs or so is about as instant as you can get without spending $100 or more)

Rodrigo, Bayou says they are 304, I now own 2 of these, one mash tun one boil kettle for my brew sculpture. I will be getting a 3rd for hot loquor tank. The quality is not that of a blichman but also half the cost. You will not be disappointed.

Hey Scott, this keg is a perfect fit for Mr. Beer batches. In fact, even though I have moved on to all-grain and other extract brews, my main fermenters are still my Mr. Beer LBK's.Hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

Here is a comparison between the 2 models:http://www.singleservecoffee.com/archives/008479.phpCheck this link for manufacturer's rebate info: http://www.tassimodirect.com/Tassimo/Promotions/Amex/Amex_join_Index.aspx?keycode=851276I just bought mine from BB&B; and so far I'm really liking it.Hope it helps!

I was told by a BB&B; employee it was b/c Keurig was not happy that SoloFill came out with a product that allowed you to buy the "cheaper" coffee and use in the more expensive machines, i.e.- buy K cups instead of Vue cups. I have a V2, but want another one. Cannot find them anywhere! Still not in BB&B; stores as of today.

No, I have used mine for about 15 batches of beer. It is still in perfect shape.

I don't think that anyone here can really answer this Sarah. Probably not. I would bet that pretty much all refractometers are off in some way shape or form as you are trying to get a measurement from a tool that is costing considerably less than what you would pay for a model found in a lab. When I was in school we used refractometers that easily cost a couple hundred dollars and I felt they were no better than this one I own now but in reality I have no way to prove it as I don't yet own an Alcolyzer. My brewing courses at UC Davis involved one instructor who would dismiss us and our work if we used S.G. or Brix and would only accept Plato as a source of measure for Brewing. "Your not a Bloody wine maker he would tell us." That being said this refractometer is in Brix and SG. To make matter even worse the numbers don't line up in the refractometer which I am told is a common problem with these thus resulting in a discrepancy in results. We are talking pretty minimal amounts here and unless you are making beer for a commercial operation that is going to be under government label scrutiny (at which point you would be most likely using better equipment or a lab), you really have little to worry about if your beer is 8.8% or 9% ABV. This compared to the Morebeer, AHS, NB, and Midwest is well worth the savings. Not like a BJCP judge is going to know the difference either when we are talking homebrew. I hope this helps.
