The Palmpress puts hand-brewed coffee in the palm of your hand

They’re any number of ways to make a fresh cup of coffee these days. If you’re like me, an old-fashioned drip coffee maker does the trick. But I’ve often heard that the best way to make a cup of coffee is to use a press. The Palmpress single-serve coffee press is a portable take on the traditional coffee press.

Palmpress is a reusable, easy-to-use personal coffee press that lets you make hand brewed craft coffee at home or anywhere you want. And it does it one cup at a time.

Just fill the Palmpress with medium grind coffee and hot water. Wait 3-minutes, set on your favorite coffee mug filter-side down and gently press to extract coffee. Voila, fresh hand-poured coffee that would make a barista proud.

The reusable eco-friendly design means no more messy filters or disposable pods.

And Palmpress is easy to clean. It completely disassembles for a thorough cleaning and is even dishwasher safe.

The Palmpress single-serve coffee press is available on The Grommet for $39.

Organize your shower with simplehuman

NEWS – Living in a house built in the 1960s, you realize how much less people seemed to use in their daily lives than we use now.  For example, both our walk-in shower and our bathtub/shower have only a single soap dish each.  Other than the rim of the bathtub itself, there’s no place to store all the body wash, soap, shampoo, and conditioner that each member of my family uses.  Since our previous house had been built in the 1950s, we were already aware of the lack of shower storage space, and we already knew how to fix it.  We simply bought a new simplehuman Tension Shower Caddy for each bathroom – and left behind the one we had been using at our old house for the next people to use.

The simplehuman Tension Shower Caddy is made of stainless steel and anodized aluminum for rust-proofing.  The reinforced aluminum pole has a high-compression spring that adjusts to securely fit spaces 6 feet to 9 feet tall.  There are three stainless shelves and a towel or washcloth hanger that can be spaced on the pole as you like.  In addition to plenty of room for shampoo or body wash, the shelves also have a soap dish, a razor hanger, toothbrush hanger, and cutouts so you can store bottles upside down for easy dispensing.

We’ve had the two simplehuman shower caddies in our condo for the five years we’ve lived here.  There’s not a speck of rust on them, and they look as good and work as well as they did when we took them out of the box.  If you are in need of some organization and extra storage in your shower, check them out for yourself.

The simplehuman Tension Shower Caddy was available at our local Bed, Bath, and Beyond when we got ours.  You can also purchase them at Amazon for $129.99 or at the simplehuman website for $130.00.

These lightbulbs are works of art

NEWS – Normally, I wouldn’t write about these lightbulbs because they have virtually no information with the listing.  However, they are so beautiful, I did it anyway.  The Speed Warp lightbulbs appear to fit normal lamp sockets.  They seem to have internal fibers that make the bulbs look like the special effects used for hyperspace in Star Wars movies.

The Speed Warp bulbs are available in five styles for $19.00 each at GiftTheGalaxy.
