One for the gadget file: If you love camping, but your sweetie can’t survive a morning without her French roast (or if you’re the java fiend), try the Press-Bot Coffee Press. It’s designed to fit a wide-mouth Nalgene water bottle, seals completely, and includes an integrated pour spout. Works for loose tea, too.
Yes, fall is in the air for many of us now, but I’ve had some of my best camping experiences this time of year. The days are cool enough for hiking and the nights provide a good excuse to snuggle into a sleeping bag. Even in mid-winter, though, the Press-Bot would make a good office gadget. Useful for those of us (like myself) always afraid we’ll spill something on the keyboard. (Thanks to Shiny Shiny for the tip.)
