It seems I’m always seeing some new article touting the health benefits of coffee. This time around, I came across a single article that seems to cover most of them. Let’s see, coffee: Coffee reduces the risk of skin cancer (basal-cell carcinoma, specifically) reduces stroke risk reduces depression in women reduces risk of type 2 […]
Don’t get too excited (or scared)…this is just a concept! It’s definitely unique…a beautiful concept for brewing coffee and tea, though not without some functional issues. Check it out at Yanko Design.

The project ended with the purchase of an off the shelf coffee roaster, but the website is still a good read for those of you interested in building your own. You can check it out at […]
The new Bodum pour over coffee machine is quite remarkable. I say that because, well, I don’t get it. $250 for what appears to be an enhanced drip coffee maker? Sure, it looks cool. Nice design. Nice materials. But $250 for a drip maker? I don’t quite get it. Maybe I need to try to […]
