    @yungjerry703: wait.. please explain. I've never heard this before. You flip the chopsticks around when grabbing from a community plate? And then set it on your plate...and then flip back to the normal side and it eat? That makes sense..I guess. I had never heard of this. I need to learn more.


    It hasn't been a problem for me though.. If I'm sharing a community plate, then I don't mind swapping spit with them.

    @jcrockerman: This is one of those tricky things in life that not everyone does, but some people are adamant about.


    As with most of these types of tricky things, the key is to not be the first to act. If you find yourself eating asian cuisine family style, sit back. See what the oldest people in the group do (or what other people do if they are serving the oldest people), and then do the same.

    I am curious at how color fast this material is. I would worry SOME coffee properties would remain and its very staining. I dont want coffee spots all over the laundry. (They should make this into a robe, what better thing to smell like coffee.)

    @Curves: Seriously?


    1) Almost certainly the product is not going to smell like coffee.


    2) They have processed the grounds so much that they have managed to make yarn out of it, then into sheets of fabric, dyed and then stitched into clothing. The dyes used after the process should be more of a concern and no more than any other article of clothing.

    Once upon a time this sort of innovation was done here in the United States.


    Now a lot of people here can't even afford the shirts that are literally made of someone's trash.

    Also, since they make yarn out of this, will their slogan be "Good till the last drop...stitch"?

    I think Dunkin' Donuts is already using this tech, as their coffee tastes like it's filtered through an old t-shirt.

    In this tough economy, I just resell my used coffee grounds to the people on the floor below me, and then they do the same, until the guy who lives on the corner (like, literally on the corner) is squeezing rainwater through the last coffee remnants, just so he can get a hint of the taste of what the Green Mountain coffee pods in his corner office once tasted like.

    Seems you need generous open space in the kitchen in order to take full advantage of this thing, in which case, such space could accommodate dedicated (and better looking) traditional kitchen furnishings. Humbug, my good man, humbug indeed.

    You can cook a lot in a toaster oven, though I am not sure how hot this one gets. While Pizza IS the perfect food, you can do a lot other things with it too.

    Oxidation wise: yes. Using a Vinfinity system, which is a vacuum pump that removes oxygen from bottles once they've been opened, is nowhere near as efficient as this seems to be and already makes red last at least a week and whites last even longer.


    Temperature wise: Absolutely. Keeping wine at an appropriate level (62 degrees in a cellar) will vastly lengthen its shelf life once opened.


    So yea. As someone who works in wine, this looks pretty legit to me.

    exposing it to UV in a clear container over the space of days isn't really the best thing for it.

    also, nitrogen displacement systems are better than any vacuum ever could be at removing oxygen.

    "They argue that the aging process is overrated and that 90% of wines are as good when bottled as they'll ever be."


    BULLSHIT! A bunch of self-serving garbage!

    @Jeremy82465:


    you're supposed to say it this way:


    "Is this good for storing kool-aid?"


    which of course is the proper set up for someone to come in and say:


    "OH YEAH!"
