And as for the cafeteair (spelling unknown and confusing!  ) this is what I've got.
Ah, in the US we call it a French press. I've learned never to make tea in one that's been used for coffee...

Didn't help at all that I didn't even know how to spell what we call it over here.
I use mine for tea and coffee (for visitors) w/out a problem. But then the coffee is pretty infrequent.

What exactly does it tsste like? Speaking of tasting bad.
I saw some IBS info that said it was essential to take
Alfalfa supplement for vitatim K. I got some yesterday,
and the stuff tastes like lawn grass, yuk!

Fennel has a licorice/aniseed flavour.
Never heard of taking alfafa for IBS! Wouldn't that be high in IF too?

You're welcome!
Maybe you're not as sensitive as I am to coffee. I'm one of the few people I know who has never tried coffee and turns her nose up coffee ice cream and candies. So obviously that part of Heather's diet was real easy to follow... 
I can taste those dang coffee acids in tiny amounts. There are some thermoses we have that I refuse to drink out of because I can still taste the coffee in them even after two trips through the dishwasher!
--AC, obviously high-maintenance in this department....

Ohhhh bite your tongue. Caffeine is my drug of choice (along w/ miralax and Nu-Lev). It doesn't seem to bother me although I drink it by the cup now and not the pot.

Thank goodness, now I can tell my husband I'm not nuts. As a life-long tea drinker, I can taste coffee in restaurant urns that have ever served coffee, always in hot water that runs through a Mr. Coffee, and sometimes even in hot water dispensed from a coffee machine above the brewing point (fumes, I guess). I prefer to think of it as senstive, rather than high-maintenance.

Oh ho! That's right. I didn't even think of that. Yesterday
I started feeling pretty crappy with an upset stomach and
gas pain. I had made a variation of Heather's cinnamon zuc
bread by substituting cocoa for the cinnamon, and thought
maybe that was the culprit since it's like chocolate. I
also put in three tablespoons of it instead of one because
I had'nt had anything chocolatey in a long while. Now
I realize it was the darn alfalfa! Not only is it IF
, as you point out, additionally they tell you to take
it three times a day when your stomach is *empty*! I
realized today that I started feeling crappy right
after I had taken that stuff. In addition to being IF
and tasting horrible, it also makes your urine light green
due to the concentration of chlorophyll. This reference
*claims* it's necessary build intestinal flora for
proper digestion. My guess is it's way exaggerated,
if not even false as far as it's being necessary.
No more for me, that's for sure! Thanks very much
for pointing that out, you'ved saved me from getting
sick from it today. -Bob
