I think they do.The thing that makes it so good is that it doesn't heat the coffee, so it can't get burnt, and it uses a very thick filter that catches all of the sediments. That, and you just wash the flask to get rid of any old oils from the coffee. No parts to burn out or get clogged, nowhere for the old coffee to accumulate.
I have one of the ones with the glass handle, so it can go in the dishwasher.

@mrslivinginabin - jobs at schoolshave the schools in your area had 1/2 term yet. IIRC teachers have to hand in their notice by half term so that they can take a new job at the start of the spring term.
SO it may not be all bad, there is usually a flurry of vacancies after the holidays.
does you LEA have a weekly publication of jobs (ours does)
Now is the time to cultivate your contacts at schools you've done supply at and see if anything is coming up

Cheating RabbitI am in East Anglia. I have QTS but not PGCE so I don't think I am qualified to teach outside the UK. I am looking for my first job so I haven't passed NQT year yet.

Actually, I have to admit my ignorance. What IS rubbing alcohol? Is it like surgical spirit?

Of shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and binsQTS is what is important! How you got there is less so (unless you want the golden hello, which only applies to PGCE) If you did a degree course that ends with QTS, IMHO you are better off than a "traditional" degree and PGCE, because you will have covered much more in the way of pedagogic techniques and had more experience in a class than the PGCEs who will have had a 6 month crash course... It means you hit the ground running!
I can't help much with East Anglia (Norwich at a guess) cos I am in the cruel North.

Rubbing Alcohol tastes lovely with a bit of raw liver.
oh, and listen to radio 5live in about 15 minutes, a chap is going to sing Bohemiam Rhapsody, except every single word of the lyrics is replaced by footballers names!

HelllooooooooooooI had a yummy dinner :D
I also had to get lunch stuffs (bread, filling etc) from Tesco, got to the checkout and said "Hopefully that's £10.50 give or take a few pence!" the woman looked at me really strangely when the total was £10.47 - does no one add up as they go any more!?

I don't like footballbut I don't not like football either.
I am football-ambivalent.
But I like humourously complicated things being sung well. Especially after my Animaniacs-fest the other day.
