The Nomad Slim Wallet with Tile keeps track of your wallet even if it’s stolen

NEWS – Slim wallets are all over the place these days but, the people over at Nomad have come up with one that you’ll never lose. That’s because the Nomad Slim Wallet with Tile uses an integrated Tile Slim tracker. Tile Slim uses advanced Bluetooth and crowdsource location technology to help you keep track of your wallet so that you never lose it.

Inside the wallet, there’s a stealth pocket concealed behind a false liner that completely hides the shape of the Tile. So the only one that knows it’s there is you, keeping your wallet trackable even if it’s stolen.

And you don’t lose any precious space in the wallet either.

The wallet has 4 card slots, 2 cash slots, and 1 quick access pocket. It can comfortably hold up to 12 cards. All in a wallet with a resting height of just over 1/2-inch, making it the perfect everyday minimalist wallet.

The leather used to make the wallet is sourced from the Horween Leather Company of Chicago. They use raw, vegetable tanned leather that over time develops a rich natural patina, which gives the wallet a character that’s unique to its owner. I reviewed a couple iPhone X cases from Nomad that use the same leather, and both developed a nice patina with time and use.

The Nomad Slim Wallet with Tile sells for $79.95 and is available on Nomad’s website.

Keurig’s new K-Café™ is a single-serve coffee, latte, and cappuccino maker

NEWS – A few years ago, I reviewed the Keurig 2.0 Model K550 coffee brewer.  That was soon after the Keurig company was purchased by the Green Mountain Coffee Roasters company and when the patent on the K-Cup coffee pod expired.  Because a coffee company had no interest in allowing other coffee companies to make supplies for their machines, Green Mountain tried phasing out the variety of brewers Keurig had developed and introduced a Keurig machine that would only brew when you used a proprietary, Keurig-branded pod.  Since Keurig lost their bid to stop people from using their own coffee in Keurig machines and relying on the sales of coffee pods, they’ve apparently gone back to developing new brewers with new functionality.  The Keurig K-Cafe Single-Serve Coffee, Latte, and Cappuccino Maker still makes single cups of coffee using K-Cup pods and even the My K-Cup pod that lets you use your own ground coffee, but it has added a milk-frothing function with a machine-washable frothing pot.

Features:

  • Coffee shot for specialty drinks: Press the SHOT button to brew a concentrated shot of coffee to make delicious hot or iced lattes and cappuccinos.
  • Dishwasher-safe frother: Froth fresh milk, including skim, soy, and almond. The frother is dishwasher-safe for easy clean up after use, and also features a COLD setting for cold frothed milk.
  • Strong brew:  Increase the strength and bold taste of your coffee.
  • 4 cup sizes: 6, 8, 10, and 12oz.
  • Large 60-oz water reservoir: Allows you to brew 6 cups before having to refill, saving you time and simplifying your morning routine. Removable reservoir makes refilling easy.
  • Smart start: Your coffee maker heats, then brews in one simple process. No need to wait for it to heat before selecting your cup size.
  • Energy efficient: Programmable auto off feature automatically turns your brewer off 2 hours after the last brew for energy savings.
  • Travel-mug friendly: Accommodates travel mugs up to 7.2” tall and is top rack dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
  • Compatible with the My K-Cup universal reusable coffee filter: Brew your own ground coffee (sold separately).
  • Brewer maintenance reminder: Alerts you when it is time to descale your coffee maker. Descaling is an important process that removes built-up calcium deposits, ensuring the best-tasting brew possible.

The Keurig K-Cafe Single-Serve Coffee, Latte, and Cappuccino Maker is $179.99, available exclusively at Amazon.

Store your bicycle on the horns of a Longhorn

NEWS – The Longhorn Bicycle Rack is a whimsical piece of art for your walls when it’s not in use.  It’s a convenient rack to hang your bike out of the way when needed.  The Longhorn was created by Phillip Stone and is handmade in his Oregon workshop.  It’s crafted of Oregon fir, a vegan leather recycled bicycle seat, and aluminum road bike handlebars.  When hanging on the wall, the rack looks a bit like, and was inspired by, the head and horns of the Texas Longhorn cattle.

The rack mounts to the wall with two screws; be sure to screw it into a stud or use wall anchors.  It measures 12″ tall x 16″ wide x 9″ deep, and it can support a bike up to 65 pounds.  The Longhorn Bicycle Rack is $110.00 at UncommonGoods.
