Yes you go to Adidas.com. Go to design your own and one of the options is to add script.
I wear Stan Smith's normally so not much of a stretch.

Nice choice kicks! I know the feeling with the extended crappy weather this year -

Love our Technivorm as well. We've had our unit for 4+ years and it still works flawlessly in daily duty... ours is the CDT model below which I think looks slightly nicer. If you don't have it highly recommend the Brew-Thru lid... helps keep your coffee warm even longer.

So... This thing is certified by coffee tasters association in US and Europe. That is hard to do. It has a Copper heating coil and is hand made in the netherlands. It will last forever. Makes an entire perfect pot in 4 minutes. Like an auto pour over with the design. The only control is an on/off switch. Simple and effective.

Compared to a french press - French press should be @ 190 degree water for 4 minutes. This brews at 200 degrees. It starts hotter and stays hot in the excellent yeti quality carafe. It's hotter and cleaner with less residue[pulp] in the cup. Also the grind setting should be much finer in this for drip. Also, I may be about to change your life.... If you're not using an Espro French press and a descent grinder then get one today. Bodum is a gateway french press. We do french press on the weekends. The Moccamaster is just so easy to run and clean between pots.
Oooh, that Espro press is making my inner geek all tingly.

Ok, now I will return the favor: these are the bomb when it comes to drinking coffee on the go:

Some serious coffee problems here (I am in withdrawal this week visiting my son at his condo--and he does not drink coffee).

In the market for new coffee maker.

How is the technivorm for everyday cleaning?
Can you brew 3 large cups easily (I drink one, hubby drinks two usually). Estimating a total of 30 ounces.

Didnt expect to to get a coffee maker referral when I tuned into this thread!

Chemex is the best coffee maker known to man.

Also the 190 degree thing is a terrible myth that causes people to ruin coffee all around the world every day. Water should be 155.

I forget if coffee was in the subject, but that Rancillio pic reminds me of the exact model that my son had but with a PID temp controller added. Clearly he is not alone when the time comes.

Your beloved Chemex disagrees with you. Even they state the ideal brew temp is 197 - 204.

And they state 200 for a pour over.

My Technivorm makes 10 cups which is really 3 good sized mugs of great coffee. I am a La Colombe coffee drinker, Nizza or Corsica, fine grind.
Love how this turned into a coffee thread. Almost as good as the thread about putting fragrances into your console change cup.
