GMG Community Thinktank- Coffee Makers Please Leave a Comment With Your Favorite
Bonavita BV1800 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe
I’m not a fan of Keurig coffee makers. We use one currently at the house only because it’s what’s there, but honestly, there’s not one K-cup that I’d say I was crazy about.
We’re looking for a new coffee maker for the house that may or may not be a Christmas present for someone ;).
What do you guys recommend?
Leave me a comment on this post on a coffee maker that you love and I’ll list them out and research them.
Right now Gizmodo highly recommends the Bonavita BV1800 8-Cup Coffee Maker
It looks nice and gets good reviews and I’m leaning this way but am curious what my awesome readers have to say.
Check out the Bonavita and read the reviews here

Another “Babson Boulder?”..
Came across this plaque in a spot that hundreds of people go by every day but probably never notice. Been going by there myself for six years and never noticed until I walked by with the leaves off the trees.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MAYOR SEFATIA AND CHEF ANTHONY CATURANO FOR HUGE SUCCESS FIRST EVER SAUCE COOK OFF FOR A CAUSE!
Bravo and huge shout out to Mayor Romeo Theken, Chef Anthony, the Tonno staff, and all the volunteers who contributed to today’s successful sauce cook off charity luncheon. Held at Tonno (Anthony donated his restaurant and the Tonno staff volunteered their time), the event raised money to benefit three families with a member undergoing cancer treatment at Addison Gilbert Hospital. The families will each receive $500.00. The additional monies raised are going to the oncology department at AGH. A wonderful time was had by all, especially the Chefs, Mayor Sefatia and Anthony Caturano.
The event was inspired by Chef Anthony (erroneously) referring to sugo as gravy. War was declared and a sugo cookoff to benefit charity was decided upon. See Mayor Sefatia explaining Gloucester-acceptable terms for sauce (practically anything but gravy) 🙂

This afternoon I stopped by to say hello to Traci as she was finishing up the installation of her exquisitely beautiful paintings for her one night show at the Hive. Traci’s Dockside work is wonderfully vibrant, striking really, with a tremendous sense of authenticity and a masterly use of color and bold strokes. DON’T MISS THIS EXHIBIT!
The event is family friendly and refreshments will be served. The show is from 6 to 9 on Thursday night at the Hive, 11 Pleasant Street, Gloucester.

ELEVEN DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS CAROL COUNTDOWN:BARBARA BONNEY AND MARIA CALLAS SINGING AVE MARIA
Ave Maria may not strike some as season appropriate, but I have them both on my Christmas play list. I love the Schubert Ave Maria and Barbara Bonney’s is the most beautiful ever recorded. Sadly, her recording is often mistakenly attributed to Maria Callas (look on youtube for yourself). Two extraordinarily beautiful and uniquely different voices, its difficult to understand the erroneous attribution.

Low Tide on the Annisquam
Sometime I just want to do some exploring and take little side streets to see what I can find. Went behind Lobsta Land and the view of the Annisquam at low tide is beautiful.
