Don, the proprietor of Red Dog is a long-time habitue of news groups, forums, blogs, etcetera related to coffee.  He prides himself on being a true student of the bean.  One of the most common starter questions for new members of forums is "OK, I've narrowed it down to these choices, please help me decide."  In this section we attempt to help you do just that.  We don't sell any of these items so we tend to be somewhat objective although these are just opinions and are by no means the final word.

(One other note:  We like Amazon, we use Amazon, and we find it simply the easiest way to give you a source to pick up these items that we mention.)
