Finally, a Way to Hold Coffee, Cellphone and Wallet at the Same Time [DIY]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on January 1st, 2010
This is a solution to a problem I definitely have—I often find myself wrestling with coffee and a few gadgets, without enough hands to hold it all. This DIY sleeve takes at least the coffee off your hands.
It's basically one of those coffee sleeves you get to keep from burning your hands, but with a few strong magnets embedded inside. So if you need an extra hand to tie your shoes, fiddle with a smartphone or PMP, you can just stick your coffee to the nearest streetlamp. And it looks like it might be even more protective for our delicate nerd hands than those wimpy cardboard ones. [Lifehacker]

Kiwidee | Email this | Comments Dealzmodo: Free Peet’s Coffee, Right Now [Dealzmodo]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 24th, 2009
Sometimes, us non-Christians feel really left out at Christmas. So I'd like to personally thank Peet's (pretty much what Starbucks wishes it was) for giving everyone the gift of free coffee today, Christmas Eve. Find your nearest store here. [Peet's]
Your Coffee Is Ready [Steam]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 15th, 2009
How do you sell the idea of hot coffee to people freezing in a bus stop? You don't need much, but McDonald's built a steam machine right inside the shelter's marquee itself. Too bad that their coffee sucks. [DirectDaily]
Alessi Silver Tea & Coffee Tower May Contain a Robot Voiced by Paul Reubens [Tea Pots]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 30th, 2009
Far be it from me, a blogger with only the most perfunctory grasp of the English language to criticize a legitimate artist, but $30,000 for a tea pot? The Earl Grey within better literally send me to the stars.
Price aside, this thing really is sleek, sexy and functional. In addition to the long, flat tea pot, London-based designer Zaha Hadid also included a coffee pot (the tall bit), milk jug and sugar bowl. Everything fits together to make a tray that changes form depending on how the owner wants to use it. My way would be to recreate scenes from Flight of the Navigator, as if the headline didn't give that away already. [20 Ltd. via Uncrate]
My Dream Coffee Cup is Now Reality [USB]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 21st, 2009
Unlike T.S. Eliot, I can't measure life out in coffee spoons. I tend to lose the darn things. That's exactly why this self-stirring, self-heating, USB-chargeable coffee cup is the stuff my caffeine-deprived daydreams are made of.
Brando calls it the USB Whirl Wind Warmer Cup and it's all too lovely. It keeps your beverage at a comfortable 40°C and stirs everything up at the push of a button. You can recharge the cup's batteries using either an AC outlet or a USB port, so there's no reason to be left without stirring power.
It's $37, and it may be my coffee cravings talking, but somehow that doesn't seem too bad considering how much all my lost spoons add up to. [Brando via Red Ferret]
Famous Paintings Reproduced In Coffee [Art]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 8th, 2009
Sure this reproduction of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam is a lil' bit perverted by the inclusion of a coffee cup, but look closer. The entire masterpiece was painted using only coffee
I'm amazed that I haven't seen these coffee art clones before. They're the creation of Karen Eland, a former barista, who one day decided to dip a paint brush into her coffee cup instead of nibbling on biscotti. By gradually building layers of espresso she's able to create a range of tones and what must be the tastiest smelling paintings ever.
Maybe it's my caffeine addiction talking, but this is the first time I've ever seen the Mona Lisa and wanted to give her a lick. [Coffee Art via Artsy Spot via Neatorama]
Link Mugs: How Many Scalding Hot Beverages Can You String Together? [Coffee]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on October 28th, 2009
The first job I ever had was working in a grocery store, and you could often find me in the parking lot trying to see how many carts I could wrangle at once. That's kind of how Link Mugs work.
Back then, the danger was smashing into cars with a 50-cart runaway train. With Link Mugs it's carrying too many cups and dropping them on others in a shower of ceramic and scalding hot fluid. Still, if you are sensible about it, these mugs might be helpful if you are unwilling to spring for a tray. These mugs were first introduced as a concept a few years ago, but you can actually purchase a set now for around $53. [Mocha via Holycool via Gearfuse]
Caffe Inn: The Espresso Machine That’s Right at Home On Tony Stark’s Chest [Espresso]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on October 25th, 2009
Who knew that the real power source driving Iron Man onward and upward into the stratosphere was really just a strong, trendy espresso machine?
Designed by Frenchman Charles Teyssier, the "Caffe Inn" concept is purely aesthetic, offering little in the way of improvements on the tried and true espresso machine formula. It does, however, remind me of Iron Man, and that's enough. [Design Blog]
