Forget taking 12+ hours to cold brew coffee with Cuisinart

Most of the cold brewers for coffee that I’ve seen lately take 12-24 hours to brew a pot.  With the Cuisinart DCB-10 cold coffee brewer, you can brew a pot in as little as 25 minutes.  Like other cold brewers where the coffee sits in the water and slowly extracts, the Cuisinart machine starts with cold or room temperature water.  But Cuisinart’s “unique spin technology circulates coffee through water for total flavor extraction in a fraction of the time manual brewers require.”

The coffee grounds are never exposed to the high temperatures that extract the oils that cause bitterness, so your brew is smoother.  There are three flavor strength settings, so you can brew the coffee the way you like it.  The three brewing cycles are mild (25 min), medium (35 min) and bold (45 min).   The coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

The DCB-10 comes with a 7-cup carafe and a steel filter.  All removable parts are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.  The Cuisinart DCB-10 is available for $81.84 at Amazon.  Other retailers offer it for $99.99; check the Cuisinart site to locate a brick-and-mortar store.

James Brand announces their Titanium Collection of EDC knives

James Brand has recently announced a new Titanium Collection featuring three of their classic EDC designs: the Elko, the Chapter, and the County. All three of the new knives have their high quality stainless steel blade and build quality. But J.B. has replaced their usual aluminum or wooden handles with lightweight, strong, and corrosion resistant titanium, making for a lighter and tougher travel companion. I reviewed the aluminum version of the Chapter years ago and still carry it with me in my EDC bag…definitely one of my favorite pocket knives.

Organized travel with the Everyday Dopp kit

Traveling is always better when you have all your gear with you and have it organized so you can always find what you need.  It doesn’t matter if you’re commuting to work with your EDC kit or if you’re traveling with your grooming kit, things are easier when you are organized.  The folks at Supply have a beautiful leather Everyday Dopp bag that can organize what you need to carry.

The Dopp bag has pockets for pens, razors, toothbrush, or the like.  The larger tray area holds bigger things, like bottles of toiletries, or headphones.  The removable zipper pouch holds cables, chargers, or even some glasses.  If you need more room in the tray area, you can remove the zipper pouch and carry it separately.

Supply says the kit is made from “nothing but 100% premium, extra-thick full grain leather from a premier tanner in Leon, Mexico. We never use bonded, genuine, or any other lesser quality leather.”  The leather is “tanned all the way through the hide“, which means the “leather lasts longer and looks better as it ages“.  Both the Dopp and the removable magnetic pouch use custom, quality YKK zippers.  The  flat clam shell profile makes the kit easy to throw in your everyday gear bag or into your suitcase.

The Everyday Dopp is available in midnight black, bourbon, or dark brown.  Supply is accepting pre-orders now for $189.00 (normal price is $219.00).  All orders containing the Everyday Dopp will ship in 6-8 weeks.  Learn more and place a pre-order at Supply.

myCharge celebrates Pride Month with a Limited-Edition Pride power bank

June is Pride Month, which commemorates the Stonewall Riots and the impact that LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer) people have had and are currently having on history. The folks at myCharge want to be part of Pride celebrations by offering a Limited-Edition Pride power bank that reflects the spirit of Pride Month by featuring distinctive artwork on the charger and by donating 5% of sales from the charger to The Trevor Project.

The Trevor Project is an organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people ages 13-24.

The Limited-Edition Pride power bank features a 4000mAh battery that can be recharged by plugging it directly into a wall outlet. That means you don’t need any extra cables. Just unfold the prongs and plug it in. With the built-in USB port, you can plugin your existing micro USB, USB-C, or lightning style cable to recharge your Android or iOS devices when you’re mobile or at one of this month’s Pride parades or festivals.

The Pride Limited Edition power bank retails for $34.99 and is available for purchase on Amazon. Use the code 5OFFPRIDE when you buy from Amazon and you’ll receive a $5 discount (valid until June 30th). For more information on myCharge products, you can visit www.myCharge.com.

Is TableCoaster the ultimate anti-spill drink holder?

The same folks who created the CouchCoaster we told you about earlier this year have introduced the TableCoaster. Even when sitting on a flat, stable table top, it’s possible to knock your drink over – and always on your computer, phone, or important papers it seems.  That won’t happen with the TableCoaster.

Unlike a regular, flat coaster, the TableCoaster doesn’t just absorb moisture from the glass or prevent scratches on the table.  TableCoaster holds mugs, tumblers, bottles, and cans up to 3.5″ (90mm) wide, and it works for hot or cold drinks.  An inner sleeve acts as an adapter to tighten the fit for drinks up to 2.75″ (70mm) wide, and it removes to reveal a mug handle slot. The micro-suction base has a strong adhesive to hold the coaster firmly to a smooth surface.  It leaves behind no residue, and it can be re-used over and over again without losing any sticking power.  The inventor says the outer wall “deflects outside forces down to the base instead of side to side, ensuring drinks stay upright.”

You can use the TableCoaster indoors or outside, home or office, and even in a car or RV.  It’s available now at Amazon in the US in jet black or glacier white for $11.95.  Learn more at the TableCoaster website or order at Amazon.
