    $25, and makes espresso and mocha that puts Starbucks to shame. You could probably coax some hot cocoa out of it, too.

    @Bluecold:Of volcanic temperament but soothed by a custard pie balsam.: Shame. I haven't tried, but I imagine you could use it to heat & froth the milk, then pour it over the cocoa of your choice.

    The family and I used to get lots of fresh cocoa from Grenada whenever we took the trip down there, and after having some hot cocoa made from that, no amount of Nestle or Swiss Miss can compare. Me want Bialetti. Me want it now.

    Got to try some of this machine's wares last weekend. They were offering free samples to customers at Bloomingdales. Not a bad way to pass the time waiting for a salesperson to help me. I must say that it was definitely hot cocoa. I didn't make it though, so I don't know how easy or what exactly was in it.
    Yeah, I take candy from strangers too.

    I really don't know how much synthetic meat is good for you. I mean, it's synthetic, you don't know how it is done and the reaction to the human body.
    Besides, we have this "guilt" of killing animals because we no longer hunt (we in a sense of the common man). Its natural that one living being will eat another, even if you are eating a vegetable, it still a living being. The problem lays on the mass production.

    @SewerShark: LOOK BEHIND YOU, A THREE HEADED MONKEY!!!: Just because it's synthetic doesn't mean it's not organic. Quorn makes the fake meat out of mushroom proteins, and protein is protein. The only difference is how it's arranged, and the flavouring added.

    Since the flavourings can also be vegetarian (look up Bacon Salt, it's basically paprika, salt and herbs), there's not really much difference.

    Also, you get no weird chewy gristle bits in fake meat. Or skin or surprise bone or whatever.

    Can you tell I'm not vegetarian, but live with one?

    (BTW, I'm from the UK, so from what I've heard its entirely possible US fake meat is inorganic...)

    @BonzaiRob: And just because it is organic does not mean edible or healthy.
    The original ingredients may do no harm to you, but when mixed up in a certain process, it may become poisonous.
    I respect vegetarians, but you must admit that not everything that is not animal based is good for you, and vice versa.

    @SewerShark: LOOK BEHIND YOU, A THREE HEADED MONKEY!!!: I think we can safely say that most of the meat available on the supermarket shelf is already synthetic. It wouldn't exist without a force-fed diet, growth hormones and antibiotics, and it contains unfortunate fallout from all of these. In that sense, we've already done a trial study of the effects of synthetic meat.

    @SewerShark: LOOK BEHIND YOU, A THREE HEADED MONKEY!!!: Oh no, I'm not saying everything organic and non-meat is better for you than meat. Well, non-edible or venemous plants, lots of fungi, case in point. But I know what you mean.

    Organic -foodstuffs-, though, are definitely better without the weirdass chemicals that would other be sprayed on to it, or the growth hormones in the fertiliser, or whatever.

    Pesticides are designed to kill insects, sure, but that stuff filters through the food chain normally and you end up with top-tier carnivorous predators dying of pesticide. (insect < small bird < bird of prey < pesticide).
    The theory about organic foods being that it happens in people too. The pesticides build up and basically give you cancer. I figure it's better to be on the safe side.

    If you eat the healthy amount of vegetables, cereals, and protein, you can do better nutritionally with eggs and beans as your substitute for meat. Particularly if you delve into weird yuppie stuff like mung beans, aduki beans, that sort of thing.

    But, people (including me) love meat. So, until science wins and everyone converts to sustainable non-meat, there will be a market for fake meat. Until then, vegetarians have their high horse. Vegans are still kind of weird though.

    Kornbluth & Pohl wrote about a giant tumor named Chicken Little that was regularly harvested of its meat in the 1952 novel, The Space Merchants.

    @Bos'un's Mate: I was just thinking of that when i read this...how in the future (of the early 1950s) we'd all be eating offcuts from a giant beating protein heart harvesting by minions in South America...but then the book also predicted we'd all soon be living in a hyper-consumerist society driven by a few giant global brands...i mean pfft, like THAT's going to happen...

    @Bos'un's Mate: that is disgusting. but it makes a lot of sense. A tumor is just growing cells, albeit out of control. More meat then I guess.

    What would be awesome would be that now we can have pork meat in any shape we want. Poturkey anyone? Or how about a Ponana? Pork medallions grown in the shape of medallions? Don't even get me started on bacon....I could go on all day...

    I used to ask vegetarian friends "would you eat meat from a meat tree," to determine the reason behind their vegetarianism. The answer was always 'no,' which leads me to believe this product will not be popular or convert our veggie friends back to carnivores.

    Of course, I later discovered everybody thought I was asking "would you eat meat from Dmitri," a slightly strange Russian fellow we knew, with a creepy moustache and bad personal hygiene. But I don't believe that minor error had a significant impact on the results of my informal study.
