Comments (2)I have the Emerson IM90T. I got it for myself for Christmas. It was $120 or so at Target. I love the thing! Personally, I absolutely HATE the crescent ice cubes that are made in refrigerator ice makers. They are fine for using in a cooler, but they do not work well in a drinking glass. The Emerson makes a bullet-shaped cube...it's hard to describe. It's like a cylinder but one end is rounded. My favorite feature is that I can use water from my Berkey purifier and the ice is tasteless. It is not clear like bar ice, but it is tasteless. There are a couple of quirks that you have to be willing to deal with, however. For one thing, you have to keep it filled with water because if it runs dry the motor can burn out. Another quirk is that it does take a while to make ice. Each individual cycle is pretty quick compared to having to freeze water in trays, but it does take quite a while to accumulate a big batch of ice. As you already know, it does not keep the ice cold so you have to remove the ice periodically and put it in the freezer. I wait until there are 2 or 3 cycles of ice in the basket and then I "decant" it to a ziploc bag and put it in the freezer. Once the ziploc bag is full I move it down to my basement freezer and keep a stockpile there. When I need ice, I get a bag out of the chest freezer and put it in the bin of the icemaker in my kitchen freezer (the same icemaker that stopped working after 2 months and makes the dreaded crescent cubes). My solution for these little quirks is that I pick a day every few weeks when I'm going to be around the house all day and I run the thing all day and make a big batch of ice. I set my oven timer for 30 minutes and when it goes off I decant the ice and refill the water and set the timer to go off in another 30 minutes. It's a little bit of a process, but it's worth it to me to have a better shape of ice that's been made from purified water. That being said, when I do my kitchen remodel I am still planning to get a fridge with an icemaker but I will use that ice for using in a cooler or for chilling wine. . . not for consumption. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions....See MoreCoffee Chocolate Cake - in the icing or cake?
Comments (16)We've been using a Ghirardelli chocolate cake recipe for birthdays since the 50s. For frosting we always use some strong coffee as well as some milk. It's perfect. Dad's theory was that the purpose of cake was to deliver the frosting, and that mocha frosting was the best of all. :) He has a 4 yr old great-granddaughter, born many years after he passed away, who shares his opinion about the function of cake.....See MoreIced coffee, do you enjoy it?
Comments (46)I love coffee! Hot coffee, iced coffee, coffee flavored desserts, cappuccino gelato. . . The list goes on and on and on . . . . .. You get the idea. Mornings I have one, sometimes two, cups of coffee with just powdered creamer, no sugar, no flavorings. (Much as I love coffee, I have never been able to drink it black.) I had been buying those bottles of Starbucks Frappuccinos in the grocery store, when one day a couple of years ago I realized I could make a reasonable facsimile a heck of a lot cheaper! And have a lot more favors. So now, on these hot, HOT afternoons, I enjoy my own version of iced coffee, no real recipe though. I fill my tall, insulated Yeti type tumbler with ice, add refrigerated coffee if I have it, room temperature if I don't, to within about an inch or so of the top of the ice. Add some cream, and some flavored liquid coffee creamer, stir, taste, and adjust amounts of whatever until it has the taste I want. I like a dark roast coffee, and I brew it pretty strong. My usual brand is either Dunkin Donuts' "Turbo" or their dark roast. I never thought about using sweetened condensed milk, may have to try that sometime. I like the iced coffee to be a just little sweet, with a only little bit of flavor. If I add enough of either to get it too the 'lightness' I want, it would be way too sweet or the flavor too overpowering, My current favorite flavors are caramel macchiato and amaretto. At one time, when I first started making my own, I probably had almost every flavor of liquid coffee creamer there is on hand. Now I usually keep two different flavors on hand. Oh, and I use the tall, slim, Yeti type tumbler because they don't sweat, and keep the iced drink iced for many hours. Or they would if the drink lasted that long. . . . .
