eX libris, like other hyper-efficient companies, strives to achieve "just-in-time" supplying. (Our tiny stockroom also has something to do with this.) Sometimes demand flucuates wildly, sometimes our orders get mucked up, and since most of our vendors only deliver once per week, it takes a while to put things right. We apologize.

ARAMARK does not provide electricity for equipment needed on the show floor. Exhibitors are solely responsible for ordering and payment for any electrical requirements for contracted rental equipment, including, but not limited to, espresso machines, popcorn machines, cookie ovens, etc. Electrical requirements should be verified with the ARAMARK Sales Manager.

With a coffee to water ratio of two level measuring tablespoons per six ounces of water, two pounds of Tourniquet coffee beans will make approximately 80 cups of coffee - at only 21 cents per cup.

Coffee Ingredient Dispensers or ‘Flickers' can serve approx 120 teaspoons of coffee, therefore 120 cups of coffee.

No, these cups have a plastic film that coats the inside of the cup or a wax coating. Additionally, the plastic lid that often accompanies the paper cup is also not desired in the recycling mix.

There are approximately 60 heaping tablespoons, (75 level tablespoons) in 1 lb. of coffee. 1 lb. of ground coffee is equivalent to approximately 5.25 cups.

Toddy's cold brew system yields six cups (48 fluid ounces) of coffee concentrate. This is typically enough concentrate to make approximately 32 (6-ounce) cups of coffee, depending on how strong you like your coffee. Although this is about 30% less coffee per pound than what you may be accustomed to producing with your conventional hot-brew system, keep in mind, there's no waste. You drink what you make. Plus, it's better coffee.

The New Mexico State Police Association sells some collectible items. Visit their web site or write directly to Sgt. Ron Taylor at RTnmsp@aol.com and see what is available.

If you wish, you may use low-fat or skim milk or small amounts of half and half in your coffee or tea. You may also use artificial sweeteners such as Equal if desired.

According to the results of epidemiological studies the degree of protection varies according to the number of cups consumed daily. In the majority of the studies, a statistically significant result is obtained for 3 or 4 cups a day, which represents an average and safe level of consumption. Research is ongoing to elucidate the mechanisms of action

The coffee maker's cup size is measured in 4-5 ounce serving sizes, the industry standard, versus an 8 ounce measurement.

Natural compounds in some foods, particularly acids, corrode metal and make a dark deposit on the underside of jar lids. This deposit on lids of sealed, properly processed canned foods is harmless.

Flattening the lids isn't a requirement, but doing so will make it easier to get them into an envelope (and will be less hassle for the U.S. Postal Service).

The shelf life that we place on our K-cups is a "best by" date for 6 months. The K-cup packaging is packaged with less than 1% oxygen through our nitrogen flush process.

The cups are designed to move to allow for the expansion and contraction of both the platforms and the carpet thus allowing for perfect cup alignment in all weather conditions.

No, regular consumers of caffeinated drinks, including coffee, have a higher tolerance to the mild diuretic effect, so the overall long term effect on hydration is very similar to water. In the same way as we are advised to eat and enjoy a variety of foods, so we should enjoy a variety of drinks. Fluids are an important part of a healthy diet and we should be drinking at least 6-8 cups (1.5-2 litres) of fluid a day to maintain our body's fluid balance.

In the Spring of 1997 I joined a round robin quilt group formed by a lady named Kristine from Massachusetts. There were several different sub-groups, all of which submitted a center and passed it along with fabric swatches to the next person on the list in our group. Consiquently we would get centers from other members and we added to them and passed them on...well somwhere along the line mine was never returned.The center was a cat theme and mine was appliqued rectangles of calico cats.

Yes. The zeolite in liquid zeolite is unaffected by temperatures under approximately 900°F (480°C).

One should always store coffee beans in a glass, air tight container. Air is coffee's principle enemy. Glass is best because it doesn't retain the odors of the beans or the oils, which could contaminate future beans stored in the same container. However, if you use glass, make sure the container is not exposed to light, as sunlight is believed to reduce freshness. What is a French Press/Cafetiere/Bodum French presses are usually glass containers with a wire mesh attached to a plunger.

Lids should not be used a second time since the sealing compound becomes indented by the first use, preventing another airtight seal. Screw bands may be reused unless they are badly rusted or the top edge is pried up which would prevent a proper seal.

The lids to plastic bottles are made of different grades of plastic than the bottle itself. These grades of plastic are not recyclable in Washington, and mixing lids in with plastic bottles will diminish the value of bottle-grade plastic collected in that fashion.

You can also contact your local Komen Affiliate and ask about Lid Collection Bin locations they may have or know of. Most affiliates are actively participating in the Save Lids to Save Lives program. You can also find Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® events taking place in or around your area during the Save Lids to Save Lives pink lid collection period. You'll find Yoplait Pink Lid Collection Bins at all Race for the Cure events. Check on the pink lid itself for key collection dates.

Generally, removing bottle caps and lids is a good recycling habit, because their recyclability depends on the equipment your local recycler uses and what the lid is made of. Often it’s as much a safety issue as a recycling issue; the pressure that builds up in a sealed plastic bottle can blow a whole bale of plastic and potentially injure workers.

The familiar term Mason Jar came after its inventor, Mr. John L. Mason, who, at age 26, was a tinsmith in New York City. He perfected a machine that could cut threads into lids, which ushered in the ability of manufacturing a jar with a reusable, screw-on, lid. These jars freed farm families from having to rely on pickle barrels, root cellars, and smoke houses to get through the winter. For urban families, Mason Jars allowed excess fruits and vegetables to be preserved for use later.

Yes. Our question – what color lid do we inventory for a cup that can be almost any color? Our answer – an upscale, clear, thermo-formed lid designed to compliment the cup without clashing with the print. Some cups shown in this website are “concept” cups only and were created from DIGISPEC’s mouse pad art files to illustrate the graphic capabilities of Visstun® cups.

The black or brown deposit sometimes found on the underside of a lid is caused by natural compounds in some foods which are released from the food by the heat of processing. This deposit is harmless and does not indicate spoilage.

Underwired cups were designed to be a cheap way to mass-produce women's underwear and they are exactly that. They are also not the best way. Under wire actually gives very minimal support. All it does is hang a large bust from the unlucky recipient's shoulders which usually results in back and shoulder pain.
