The White Russian: A Novel Price: $10.17
The Edgar Award–winning novel A Conspiracy of Paper was one of the most acclaimed debuts of 2000. In his richly suspenseful second novel, author David Liss once again travels back in time to a crucial moment in cultural and financial history. His destination: Amsterdam, 1659—a mysterious world of trade populated by schemers and rogues, where deception rules the day.
On the world's first commodities exchange, fortunes are won and lost in an instant. Miguel Lienzo, a sharp-witted trader in the city's close-knit community of Portuguese Jews, knows this only too well. Once among the city's most envied merchants, Miguel has lost everything in a sudden shift in the sugar markets. Now, impoverished and humiliated, living on the charity of his petty younger brother, Miguel must find a way to restore his wealth and reputation.
Miguel enters into a partnership with a seductive Dutchwoman who offers him one last chance at success -- a daring plot to corner the market of an astonishing new commodity called "coffee." To succeed, Miguel must risk everything he values and test the limits of his commercial guile, facing not only the chaos of the markets and the greed of his competitors, but also a powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to see him ruined. Miguel will learn that among Amsterdam's ruthless businessmen, betrayal lurks everywhere, and even friends hide secret agendas.
With humor, imagination, and mystery, David Liss depicts a world of subterfuge, danger, and repressed longing, where religious and cultural traditions clash with the demands of a new and exciting way of doing business. Readers of historical suspense and lovers of coffee (even decaf) will be up all night with this beguiling novel.
“A novel overflowing with intrigue and duplicity... Once you’ve wandered the back alleys of Amsterdam with David Liss, you’ll never look at your morning cup of coffee the same way again!”
SHERI HOLMAN, AUTHOR OF THE DRESS LODGER AND THE MAMMOTH CHEESE
“In his second novel, David Liss creates his own genre: the historical noir. The seventeenth-century Amsterdam he depicts is a wonderfully dark city of secrets, roiling with deceitful maneuverings and caffeine-fueled perils. The Coffee Trader is vivid, utterly absorbing, and more than a little relevant to our current age of financial skulduggery.”
GARY KRIST, AUTHOR OF EXTRAVAGANCE
“It feels as if David Liss has traveled through time to the stock exchange of seventeenth-century Amsterdam and the immigrant society of Dutch Jews who were forced to reinvent their religion after the ravages of the Inquisition. The Coffee Trader is riveting as a historical re-creation, compelling as a tale, and relevant both about the morality of community—in this case, Jewish community—and about the ethical corruptions of an economy where value is a function of perception, competition, and, above all, manipulation.”
NEIL GORDON, AUTHOR OF SACRIFICE OF ISAAC AND SEA OF GREEN
“Masterfully plotted, brilliantly imagined, The Coffee Trader brims with intelligence, intrigue, and suspense. David Liss has written a riveting novel about commerce and faith, loyalty and greed.”
TOVA MIRVIS, AUTHOR OF THE LADIES AUXILIARY
Timothy's World Coffee, Mocha Java, K-Cups for Keurig Brewers, 25-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) Price: $20.00
This review is not about the Kona blend coffee itself, which tastes just fine to me, but rather about the poor construction of Timothy's K-Cups that is forcing me to do extra cleanup after each brew.
The K-Cups I received from Amazon were badly damaged in shipping. I was a little surprised that the shipping box was not nearly as damaged as the K-Cups inside. Still, I didn't think much of the damage because Amazon was very prompt in refunding my order. But, after trying a fresh batch of these K-Cups, I am convinced that Timothy's K-Cups are just poorly constructed and are prone to damage.
Here's the problem. After each brew of these K-Cups, the brewing compartment is left with a good amount of coffee which I have to rinse and soak up with a paper towel (I don't know how else to clean it!). Also, the bottom of the K-Cups is clearly warped and bent after each brew.
My guess is that the bottom of Timothy's K-Cups is not suitable for a clean puncture. It bends under pressure, and the brewed coffee winds up getting splashed inside the brewing compartment instead of streaming straight through the dispenser.
I don't have this problem with other brands of K-Cups, e.g. Green Mountain. They have a thicker plastic ridge around the bottom of their K-Cups that allows the puncture to be made without distorting the K-Cups' structure.
Anyway, I like this coffee, but I am annoyed that construction and plastic of these K-Cups is killing the no-mess convenience of the Keurig machine.

KitchenAid KCM511OB 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Onyx Black Price: $29.99
Coffee devotees know that an efficient grinder can be the secret to a great cup of joe. This model from KitchenAid delivers efficiency and more--from an oversized bowl to dishwasher-safe materials. Powered by a 200-watt motor, the grinder features a permanently attached stainless-steel blade that mills beans quickly and thoroughly. A generous four ounces, the brushed stainless-steel bowl is mounted to the motor housing with a clockwise turn and etched with handy reference markings. The machine turns on when you push down on the clear polycarbonate cover and off again when it's released. As a protective feature, the grinder only operates when the top is in place, so fingers are never exposed to moving blades. Solid and attractive, the grinder is also designed for frequent use and is easy to clean. Both its bowl and top cover go in the dishwasher, while the rest wipes clean with a damp cloth. --Emily Bedard

If you're looking for a very strong, deep and bold coffee, this is the one for you! This was a little stronger than I was looking for, but I would compare it to a cup of Starbucks. If you're looking for a more mild yet bold cup of coffee, I would go with the Rainforest Espresso.

Dead Man Price: $17.98
Now here is a movie that's practically perfect for DVD. Shot over many years with eccentric actors, Jim Jarmusch's collection of black-and-white vignettes is as uneven as a collection of music videos (without songs). Even with the dull spots and the drop-dead-hip ambiance, there's something touching about this parade of frazzled people holding on to their coffee and cigarettes like life rafts--especially in the final sequence with Taylor Mead. There are some severely misconceived pieces, but the best are a treat: Alfred Molina and Steve Coogan in a hilarious Hollywood encounter, Tom Waits and Iggy Pop getting off on the wrong foot in a funky diner, and Cate Blanchett doing a dual role as herself and a jealous cousin. Bill Murray can't save one underwritten piece, but Jack and Meg White are amusing in an absurdist blackout. Use the Scene Selection menu, and revel in the fetishizing of java and butts. --Robert Horton

Espresso: Ultimate Coffee, Second Edition Price: $12.71
years ago(before Starbucks bought the world) Boston had a local chain called the Coffee Connection. Their blends were perfect, their roasts were done by an old central american master and all of their employees were coffee lovers who could tell you details on any bean (once again, pre starbucks and the "we'll hire anyone" policy). I once asked how they knew so much and was told that employees were required to read this book. Somehow I lost my original copy ... so glad to see Amazon making it available again.
Keurig My K-Cup Reuseable Coffee Filter Price: $27.90
I hate to say that a decaffeinated K-Cup is one of my favorites but I can't help it. I only drink this one at night when I have to be up early the next day but I enjoy every single cup. This is a medium roast coffee that does not at all taste weak or watered down. If you are looking for a damn fine cup of decaf this is the one.
Coffee Filters for 10-Cup Drip Coffee Makers, 100/Pack BUNBCF100 Price: $242.89
"Versatile" and "sturdy" aptly describe this well-designed appliance. Once the tank is filled and preheated to brewing temperature (in about 15 minutes), the Pour-Omatic immediately begins brewing coffee whenever more water (2-cup minimum) is added. So you're never more than three minutes away from a fresh cup of coffee. Holds brewed coffee indefinitely at the perfect temperature for drinking, or you can use the preheated water for tea or other beverages. The brewing funnel fits easily into positioning slots that suspend it securely over the 6-cup glass decanter, as does the hot-water funnel. Also included are two large packages of Bunn drip filters, a spring for deliming the drip mechanism, and a clearly written, illustrated instruction booklet to help you get the best performance from this appliance. --Toni Reineke
