Dacor is still made in Calafornia, however the company was sold to Samsung in 2016.

My understanding is Bosch is one of those companies that make it difficult for homeowners to purchase replacement parts.

Congrats on your new range! I am impressed that you were able to find a no-frills range with manual clean. My only gripe with the newer ranges is that the burners are not all equal BTU output. I prefer to decide what burner that I want my large pot to sit on as opposed to place it on the...

Depending on how much $ in food you keep in your chest freezer, I would recommend a chest freezer alarm to alert you if the temperature goes above a setpoint to avoid spoiled meat and loss of $. I don't use an alarm since I keep kegs of beer in mine.

My experience is that most if not all newer appliances will not last near as long as the old ones. My last chest freezer (which I use as a kegerator with a seperate temperature controller) lasted 5 years. You may consider using silaicone caulk for the gap on your old chest freezer gasket and...

Here is my Annova setup:

The best non-stick is my Le Creuset enamal coated cast iron dutch oven which I bought at Costco many years ago.

I ditched those expensive small filters in certain coffee machines and refridgerators years ago with a seperate sediment filter and carbon block/chlorine filter for my kitchen sink and a RO filter setup for my refridgerators from Bulk Reef Supply. The RO filter setup doubles as my brewing water...

I have been using a super automatic for years, mainly because I am lazy and my household drinks alot of coffee. I started out with a Jura, wore that out and now have a Miele. Coffee drink wise they are similar, I prefer the Miele because it has a removeable brew unit that I can lube and clean...

I was in Puerto Rico for work over 35 years ago. I really liked their coffee and I learned to use condensed milk for the cream and raw sugar just liked they did down there. I was also there when Pizza Hut test marketed their Hawaiian Pizza which I also like to this day, please no BBQ sauce.

My favorite coffee that Costco sells is the Kona blend that is usually only available around Christmas time. It usually doesn't last very long.

I purchase it through Amazon Link.

I have been trying different Lavazza whole bean coffee in my superautomatic. This Link one is my current favorite.

Below are pictures of my sous vide setup, I repurposed a canning pot. Inside is a 14.2# ham that I heated to 100 deg. F for 90 minutes and finished on the grill in a oven bag until the internal temp reached 100 deg. F. The ham always comes out juicy, never dry.

I store the unopened bags only in the freezer, once opened then I put the bag near my coffee machine which gets used up fairly quickly (within a couple weeks). I have a vacuum sealer (for my hops) but I didn't notice any loss of freshness to attempt to vacuum seal and re-freeze my coffee beans...

I store my whole beans in the freezer until I need to open another bag. I prefer the 2.2# bags as there are 3 heavy coffee/espresso drinkers in my household.

According to their website: This dark roast blend is named after, Porte des Morts, a narrow strait located between the tip of Door County and Washington Island, that was known to be very dangerous passage for sailors many years ago, earning the name Death’s Door.

I recently went through a bag of Death's Door whole bean coffee in my Miele, I highly recommend this coffee. I purchased a 32oz bag from the Costco in Kenosha WI a while back but noticed that it is available for purchase in the 5# bag on the link above.

Home Depot has 10 gallon version of this if you need to go bigger.

Pre-heating the milk in a microwave for 40 seconds did the trick, much hotter cappuccion's in my Mukka Express.
