The Nespresso CitiZ – Your Next Espresso Machine?

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

The Nespresso CitiZ makes surprisingly good coffee. I say surprising because this machine uses coffee capsules instead of fresh ground coffee. Nestle, the manufacturer, offers a nice variety of flavors to choose from so you are sure to find something you like. It’s quick and easy to use too.

The machine itself is relatively small. It’s thinner than a typical drip coffee maker, and slightly deeper. This would be a nice choice for a apartment or small kitchens with limited space. I like the look of it, it’s elegant and modern, and I think it looks nice on the counter top.

Operating the machine is about as simple as it gets. You fill up the water container and turn on the switch. In about 2 minutes the light is steady green. You open up the top and drop in a pellet of coffee and as you shut it, the pellet is pierced. You press to choose the “short” or “long” shot and out comes your espresso.

What really sets it apart besides the great espresso and simple operation is the integrated milk frother. You can get this machine separate from the aeroccino or built together as with this product. It is very quick and easy to froth milk, which basically involves pouring a set amount of milk into a special container and putting a lid on it and then pressing a button.

The pods or espresso capsules come sealed with perfectly ground coffee. The tins are recyclable aluminum and lined with a film to prevent the coffee from contact the metal directly. In one of the few drawbacks, the coffee capsules are only available from one source, the Nespresso Club on the company website.

rom start to finish, you can warm up the machine, froth the milk, make two shots of espresso, and rinse out the frother in about five or six minutes. After brewing the use capsules are ejected into a container within the machine. It holds about eight pellets and is easily removable for disposing of your used coffee. Clean up is a breeze.

This is great machine and I would highly recommend it. If you want great espresso and you want it quick with no fuss, it’s hard to beat the Nespresso CitiZ.

Home-Made Pesticides

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

if you are one of the growing number of people worldwide that thinks that we should start using fewer chemicals on our planet, then you have probably wondered about home-made pesticides. Once you have had a lung full of ant spray or cockroach spray, you know that it would be a good idea if you could use something less ghastly.

The problem is that we have come to depend on a spray of this to destroy ants, a spray of that to kill cockroaches and another spray for silverfish or whatever. This is all a big con. You do not need three or four sprays to kill or deter all the insects that you are concerned about.

In fact, many sprays contain the old-fashioned pesticides, but they are packaged so as to make you pay a lot more for them.

Boric acid can be used to kill all insects that have mandibles and scavenge. If you want to eradicate ants, mix it with water and sugar. It will be taken back to the nest, if you do not make the mixture so strong that it kills the ants before they can get home. Boric acid will also poison cockroaches. Mix it with flour or pour it in liquid form on bread.

You can kill greenfly or aphids quite effortlessly, by spraying them with your used washing-up water. Soapy water is all you require to kill these insects.

The Colorado potato beetle is a pest in some countries. You can kill or discourage the Colorado potato beetle with a spray made from soaking cedar wood chips in water. This will make a tea-coloured fluid. It is a powerful pesticide and an antibiotic too. Spray it onto the foliage.

You can also use a foliage spray made from tansy. The method is to dry the tansy and then grind it up – as finely as you can be bothered to. Use a pestle and mortar and then mix it with water. The finer you ground the tansy, the fewer blockages you will suffer in your spray gun.

Cutworms can be defeated by mixing pineapple weed with water and spraying on affected areas. Sagebrush and water will have the same effect, but you may need to boil the mixture to extract the essential oils.. If you do not have these plants where you live, you can mix molasses with bran or sawdust and spread that on your plants just before dusk.

The tomato hornworm causes a great deal of damage to tomatoes where they exist. This technique of destroying them is not a pesticide as such, but it is very effective. Spread cornflour around your tomato plants, the hornworms will feed on this too, but they cannot digest it. It will soak up their digestive fluids , expand, and blow them up. This technique can be used on cockroaches too.

A spoonful of canola oil and a drop or two washing-up liquid in a spray gun will exterminate most soft bodied grubs

Diatomaceous earth is a good barrier to all insects and is one of the few ways of clearing out bed bugs too.
