Northwest Glass Yama Stovetop Coffee Siphon, 1-Unit Review

Northwest Glass Yama Stovetop Coffee Siphon, 1-Unit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This has to be my favorite (non-espresso) method of producing good coffee. Vacuum brewing (often called siphon brewing) was very popular before convenience assumed more importance than the quality of coffee produced.
While lacking quite the grace and style (and "coffee-table theatre") of the Cona version, the Yama brewer carries a much smaller price tag. Though it is made of glass, the Yama feels quite sturdy and should be quite serviceable - given suitable care. If it breaks, the cost of replacement is reasonable.

The Cona has a glass rod/filter which is very effective, zero cost, and low maintenance. I do not like the idea of brewing through re-used, laundered cotton filters as provided with the Yama, so I use an old Cory glass rod filter (check out eBay) which works perfectly with my 40 oz unit. A simple wire grid is provided and works well with my electric smooth-top. The whole process soon becomes very quick and easy with practice.
Maybe I'll buy a small butane burner to achieve the Cona's "coffee-table theatre".

Brew and serve the best coffee of your life with the help of this 40-ounce coffee siphon from Northwest Glass Yama, which vacuum brews coffee on your stovetop to produce a cleaner, richer, and smoother cup of coffee. This coffee siphon (model SY-8) makes 40 ounces (8 cups) of coffee. One part performance art and one part laboratory project, the coffee siphon brews coffee by heating water stored in the bottom chamber, which is then forced to the upper vessel containing the coffee grounds. After removal from the heat, the brewed coffee will be drawn back through a strainer to the bottom chamber and ready for pouring. This model works on gas and electric rangetops, and comes with a wire diffuser for use on electric coil burners. The glass chambers are dishwasher and microwave safe.

Directions for Use
Use a slightly finer grind of coffee.
Drop the washable, reusable cloth covered filter into the infusion chamber with the chain hanging down into the glass siphon tube.
Pull the chain down until you can hook it to the bottom of the siphon tube.
Fill the bottom carafe to the 5 mark with hot water and place 5 measuring spoons of coffee in top chamber.
After about 4 minutes to heat the water, all the water is siphoned to the top chamber; allow 2 minutes to brew.
Remove from the heat source, allowing the coffee comes back down to the bottom carafe.
Remove the top, placing it in its convertible lid/stand, and bring the pot to the table for serving.

Strathwood Folding Hardwood Bistro Table Review

Strathwood Folding Hardwood Bistro Table
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ce n'est pas une table du tek. This is not a teak table. That said, it LOOKS like a teak table. And it costs maybe twenty percent of the cost of teak. It is made in Vietnam of a reasonable quality of wood which is stained rather well to resemble teak coloring. The 'some assembly required' involves tightening four large bolts and attaching two hooks with four wood screws. Maybe a half an hour, including getting it out of the large package it came in via FedEX.
The sixty dollar price is reasonable although the problem is not with the table when you get it. It looks good. It is sturdy. But how will it withstand weathering from rain and sun? You don't know. I suggest since it isn't teak, that you take it inside when you are not using it. It is not too heavy to carry, and it easily folds up. If you keep it on a porch or covered patio it will last far longer but not as long as teak. Nothing else outlasts teak outside.
Still I am pleased with this table and, until I feel like paying four hundred dollars or more for my next teak table it will do. In fact, the eight pieces forming the edge of the table had better joinery than my last real teak table from Indonesia. Recommended.

The Strathwood 28-inch round folding table is a very handy little table that can be quickly put away when not in use. It folds with a snap and will easily seat two people--just right for snacks, drinks, gaming, or any occasion. Use this table with the Strathwood folding armchair set for a complete folding set that is both stylish and functional. The entire table is made of an all-weather hardwood that is dense and durable. Sturdy mortise-and-tenon construction provides the highest quality joinery, which will last for many years. Overall, the table measures 28 inches in diameter by 28 inches high and weighs 20 pounds.

Crafted from durable, Earthy-friendly eucalyptus hardwood, this furniture is intended for outdoor use in all weather. A beautiful hardwood comparable to teak and with excellent weather-resistant properties, eucalyptus is dense and naturally resistant to rot and insect infestation. Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), there is no doubt about the responsible production and consumption of this wood. The rapid growth of eucalyptus trees makes them more readily available and more easily affordable. In addition, furniture constructed of eucalyptus is light enough to move easily and requires no oiling unless to maintain a desired look.
Left untreated, eucalyptus will weather when exposed to the elements, turning a soft shade of silver/gray similar to the weathering of teak. In addition, when untreated, natural splitting or cracks will appear, but this will not affect the durability of the furniture. To guard against this weathering process and to maintain a desired look, apply coats of a hardwood oil. The frequency of necessary oil applications depends on the intensity of the outdoor elements. The furniture has already been oiled prior to packing, and it is recommended that an oil treatment be repeated at least once a year. Giving the furniture an extra treatment before exposing to rain will prolong the "new" look and ensure a longer life.
After eucalyptus furniture has weathered, it can be restored if desired by sanding down the surface, cleaning it, and then applying oil to prevent more weathering. To clean it, mix one tablespoon of bleach, five tablespoons of a gentle dishwashing liquid, and a gallon of water, and gently scrub the mixture on the surface of the wood with a soft bristle brush. Rinse the solution from the furniture, and allow it to dry completely in the sun. Developed for use in high humidity, the furniture is best not stored in centrally heated areas, as that could lead to excessive drying out of the wood.
Wood that becomes saturated with water and left over an extended period without drying out is more likely to warp and rot. The bases of furniture legs are probably the most vulnerable when it comes to water damage. If wood furniture is kept in the grass, at the poolside, or on a surface that collects rain water, the legs can become saturated. Covering the bottoms of each leg with rubberized material or small sections of cedar fencing material will help protect furniture from rotting from the bottom up.
Strathwood furniture has quality, ease of use, and casual elegance at its core. Each piece is rigorously tested for durability, and assembly instructions have been standardized for simplicity from start to finish. Strathwood furniture is sleekly designed, handsomely finished, and built to last. This classic style and reliable craftsmanship will weather ever-changing trends and regular use for years to come.

Just ordered a couple more of these little tables after reading the reviewer who used them as nightstands. What a great idea. I have them as traditional end tables and they are handsome and sturdy. Get baskets for the lower shelves, look really nice. And did I mention sturdy? Assembly was a breeze, even for me. The wood is heavy and a pleasing tone, very neutral. And Target.com, what more can I say about them? They really, really, really stand behind their products. If you ever have a problem, contact them. They will make it right, and at their expense.

SEI Plank Cocktail Table Review

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the table is actually a pretty good size. We can put appetizers and drinks on the table and have plenty of space. What it also doesn't show is that it has a pre-distressed finish which is off-putting if you weren't expecting it. Very carefully placed gouges in the wood and shaved off edges. But they're all finished in the same color varnish, so it's fine by us. We like it a lot. So far no rings from glasses have marked the table and it's a nice rich warm brown color.

2x4basics AnySize Table or Low Bench, Sand Review

2x4basics  AnySize Table or Low Bench, Sand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased 8 benches - 4 for our house and 4 as house warming gifts for friends who relocated to the country. These benches were a breeze to put together. After thinking it over I decided to incorporate 2x6s in place of 2x4s where I could to prevent warping. 2x6 lumber fits perfect into this construction. I've attached photos above - check 2x6 construction. the 2x4 braces below make for solid shake-free benches. I sanded and finished mine with three coats of Thompsons "Honey Gold" tint Watersealant. After this summer and winter in OK I'll report back on how well these held up. All construction so far has been 6 feet long.
You have to realize it's wood you're working with and prepare accordingly. Measure to get the most of each cut from the length wood you buy. I purchased #2 Douglas Fir - it's a bit stronger than framing lumber.

A great looking table, interesting design, actually looks just like the picture. Problem, very little real wood in the product. My husband said, what did I expect for the price. I'd willingly pay more if it were made of wood. Oh well, live, learn, read descriptions more carefully. Use it till it falls apart--then again, it could be like plastic and live long after us. Still, love the look.

Average Reviews:

I love the way they look! I was surprised how good the quality of the wood and finish was for the price. My only beef is that they aren't very sturdy due to the way the legs are designed. They look great with two Tiffany lamps on the side tables. I wouldn't put anything heavier on them though for fear of it tipping over. You can't push on the coffee table to help you get up from the couch either as it will start to tip also. There are spinner feet on the bottoms of all three and they do help to lessen the wobble that they have (I have them on a carpet floor), but they are still not perfectly solidly stable. Shipping was decently fast/average. I would buy from this seller again.

It took me a VERY long time to find a decent-looking Mission coffee table that wasn't the size of a ping pong table (what's WITH the oversized coffee table trend, anyway?) So, I was happy to find this modestly sized table and was even more pleased that it exceeded my expectations. I was afraid it might be a little flimsy or cheap-looking in person, but that's not the case. No, it's not as nice as a quarter-sawn antique but it looks pretty darn good for the price. The drawers are on metal rollers that roll very smoothly and quietly, which I think is indicative of the table's quality. It was easy to assemble and came very securely packaged - no dings or chips. It's a bit on the darker side of medium oak in color. I'm pleased with it and wouldn't hesitate to buy more of this brand.
