Thanks.  I didn't want to make the coffee too clear, but perhaps I could
lighten it up slightly.

Thanks.  Unfortuneately I was trying for a brushed metal texture for the
base, I'll admit, not too convincingly :( .  Perhaps I could tone the
brushing down a bit to get a bit more unblurred reflection.

Um, you got me there.  I got the switch flipped around, the light should
reflect that the burner is on. (Poop)

Try a cup.  It's quite tasty today, still fresh.

I think the coffee looks perfect.  Maybe he's referring to the bottom half
of the pot, which is metal?

Like always, a great product, Trevor!
(watch out for that switch, though)  :-)

I have to agree with Marc I also really liked the texture of the base.

Only complaint - in your CGsphere descriptions you don't mention what 
software you use. (I know you show the logo but unless the viewer 
already knows about pov ...)

Yup I couldn't criticise the image so...

Your next challenge is to show the same scene 6 weeks and 100 pots of 
coffee later.

I agree!  This image is fantastic, but I second Verm's challenge!

Hmm shouldn't be too difficult to do.

I usually put the software in the description, but I realize I had forgotten
this time.  Thanks for noticing, I'll see if I can update it.
