Supplementary notes
The NCDT, beginning in 2012, includes a representative sample of Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans. Comparisons to years prior to 2012 must be made with caution, since the panel enhancement may impair direct tracking.
The original question ran as follows: Several companies have recently introduced a new way of brewing coffee. With this brewer, you insert a single, pre-measured, sealed disk or capsule of coffee into a specially designed machine. The machine brews a single cup of coffee directly into your coffee cup in about a minute. Have you heard
of this type of brewer before now?
