Thanks for the clarification; it's probably the display types and contrasts
I object to.

Print styles can be coped with by the skill of the operator.  Display types 
in contrast, less so.

I'd be interested, also.  I've been interested in those coffeemakers but
have not bought one, specifically because I've been afraid I wouldn't be
able to read the cups.  I find that over all, print styles are much more
challenging these days than they used to be, and I get really frustrated
when I come up against something I can't read.  I have to remind myself
always that the Optacon was made before we had all of these print styles!

I'd be interested to know if anyone has successfully read the tops of those
little cups for a Keurig coffeemaker to know what's inside.  So far, I
haven't been able to make that one work due to typestyles and background
contrast, but would welcome any suggestions.

Great weekend, all!  JH
