It's basically just a metal ball with holes in it, on a chain, that you open to put loose tea into and then use the same way as a teabag. In fact, I'm sure that's what everyone used to make tea before teabags were invented! So...is there a reason you couldn't use one of those for coffee? I imagine you'd need to fill it before shabbat, because it is a filtering device...but if you can use a teabag (with the usual kli sheini manipulations) you should be able to use that, I would think. One note, though -- I've learned that because of its filtering purpose, you can't take a teabag out of your tea once it's steeped as much as you want it. That would be taking the bad from the good, and with a special tool no less. I'm sure the same would apply here. You'd have to drink it with the ball still in the cup, or possibly pour the coffee into another cup. Of course, check with a rabbinical authority...</p>Renee commented on 'Full Mind Dry Heave'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0112790cc9be28a42009-02-25T19:21:46Z2009-02-25T19:21:46ZReneeFrom someone who believes the 4 food groups are caffeine, nicotine, saturated fat, and processed sugar, I KNOW coffeemakers!

Of course as a non-practicig Protestant, I don't have Shabbat to worry about, but I DO tend to forget to turn things off, so a machine with a heater is NOT a good option. <br />
The Cuisinart Programmable Stainless Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker can be set to make coffee at a particular time, AND it will keep a full pot drinkably warm for 24+ hours. The bad news is that the more you drink, the faster the remainder will cool. SO, set it to brew right before Shabbat, then drink it slowly, savoring the brew. Cuisinart also makes a grind and brew with the same stainless carafe, but I haven't tried this...yet. <br />
Going without coffee is not a good thing...</p>Fred2 commented on 'Full Mind Dry Heave'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef011168958e9b970c2009-02-24T20:02:39Z2009-02-24T20:02:40ZFred21.

How is that different than a thermostat?</p>

<p>I'm a fan of the Melitta-and-coffee-urn version of shabbat coffee, and also <a href="http://blog.jugglingfrogs.com/2008/07/cold-brew-coffee.html" rel="nofollow">cold-brew methods</a>, which act as a coffee-sense. Both of these are methods I'm happy to use also during the week.</p>
<p>Most drip coffee makers DO have a timer these days: both programmable start time and automatic shut-off. </p>tnspr569 commented on 'Full Mind Dry Heave'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef01127908883a28a42009-02-23T23:49:26Z2009-02-23T23:49:26Ztnspr569Those grind and brew type coffee makers are REALLY noisy, from what I recall - reminiscent of a vacuum cleaner,...<p>Those grind and brew type coffee makers are REALLY noisy, from what I recall - reminiscent of a vacuum cleaner, to be precise :-P</p>roberti commented on 'Full Mind Dry Heave'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef011168935507970c2009-02-23T22:13:51Z2009-02-23T22:13:51Zrobertiwe use a melitta http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-640616-10C-Manual-Coffeemaker/dp/B000MIT2OK/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1235426232&sr=8-1 w/ klei sheinie - if your urn keeps the water fairly hot- you are in...<p>we use a melitta http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-640616-10C-Manual-Coffeemaker/dp/B000MIT2OK/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1235426232&sr=8-1<br />

The other boys called him on it and took the question to the Rosh Yeshivah. </p>
<p>The issues that the Rosh Yeshivah brought out aren't even discussed on the sheet you link to. According to the shiur the problem isn't stirring, or noise, or even leaving a pot of raw food on the fire before Shabbos, it is that the cooking won't even start until well into Shabbos. There is apparently a teshuvah from R. Moshe Feinstein that deals with it (no, I don't know where) and compares it to asking a non-Jew to cook for you on Shabbos. R. Moshe concludes that using a coffee machine on a timer is zilzul Shabbos, i.e. not Shabbosdik, and thus forbidden. </p>val commented on 'Full Mind Dry Heave'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef01127907148228a42009-02-23T20:01:50Z2009-02-23T20:01:50Zvalhttp://bogieval.blogs.com/valcentric/ok... about #4, having lived thru YOUR teenager-years, it's temporary - that insanity that doesn't know how to cover their...<p>ok... about #4, having lived thru YOUR teenager-years, it's temporary - that insanity that doesn't know how to cover their ass!

As I often say, it seems that 99% of why people see doctors is for one of two things: colds and back pain, and they're equally ineffective at treating both ("Try heat." "Try cold." "Try resting." "Try exercising.")</p>
<p>I'm pretty outspoken as being anti the whole "alternative medicine" thing (you REALLY don't want to get me started on homeopathy), but I can see trying ANYTHING when back pain flares up and conventional medicine can't do jack squat.</p>Rahel commented on 'Full Mind Dry Heave'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef01127906fac328a42009-02-23T19:38:20Z2009-02-23T19:38:21ZRahelhttp://elmsintheyard.blogspot.comDavid, I'm sorry to hear about your back... and very sorry to hear about Jordan.<p>David, I'm sorry to hear about your back... and very sorry to hear about Jordan.</p>Alissa commented on 'Full Mind Dry Heave'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef01127906f31628a42009-02-23T19:27:13Z2009-02-23T19:27:13ZAlissahttp://altmanaliyah.blogspot.com/Forget the back pain (my recommendation is shiatsu, I'm loving it), does this mean the problem with coffee makers on...<p>Forget the back pain (my recommendation is shiatsu, I'm loving it), does this mean the problem with coffee makers on Shabbat has all along been with *stirring*?

<p>And as my husband pointed out, the sound of a coffee maker would *enhance* our Shabbat, not disturb it! :)</p>

<p>I've been suffering from lower back pain for quite some time myself. Chiropractor did nothing for me (actually made it worse at one point). Acupuncture was quite helpful in the short term as was seeing an osteopath (both through maccabi). The Alexander Technique also helped out. But the thing that has helped me the most was pilates. I've been seeing a private pilates instructor for about six months, it hasn't been cheap but my back (and tummy) is strong and I haven't felt better in years. Highly recommended. </p>
<p>Sorry to hear about Jordan. We just went through quite an ordeal with our pooch.

<p>As for your back, I feel for ya. I'm sitting here with my back board straight and am still cringing every 30 seconds or so when I move just so...bulging disc between L3-L4. There's a book called Back Rx by Vijay Vad that I've found incredibly helpful. It outlines a stretching/strengthening routine that you can start as soon as you are able to get on the floor safely, belly down. It uses a combination of Pilates, Yoga, and Physical Therapy (you got your homeopathy and your allopathy). Give it a shot, I've seen marked improvement.</p>
<p>Or, if you can wait 'til this summer, I'm making Aliyah most likely in August!<br />

<p>As a lower back pain sufferer since adolescence, I recommend this (it is the only thing that has ever worked for me). Bend over forward, relaxing down like you are going to touch your toes. Do not stretch. Let your spine and back muscles stretch as you let your body relax ever lower for at least sixty seconds. If you try it, you will feel better. (do I need some small print here?) It really works - promise.</p>Karl Newman commented on 'Full Mind Dry Heave'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef011168917929970c2009-02-23T09:14:05Z2009-02-23T09:14:05ZKarl NewmanIn regards to the back pain, I feel for you.

If your chiropractor has an ultrasound machine and he hasn't used it on you yet, ask him to. There's also a stretching routine that involves lying on your belly and arching your back by pushing your upper body off the floor while keeping your stomach on the ground. Ask him about that if he hasn't prescribed it.</p>
