Coasters That Stick To Glasses Protect Every Surface in Your Home

Coasters That Stick To Glasses Protect Every Surface in Your Home

A coaster is only effective if your dinner guests are willing to use them. Once you’ve left the room to check on dinner, it’s all but guaranteed there will be glasses, cans, and bottles placed directly onto every piece of furniture you own. Unless, of course, those coasters were stuck to the bottom of every drink.

Monsieur Bartender Is A Machine That Serves You Your Favorite Drinks

Monsieur Bartender Is A Machine That Serves You Your Favorite DrinksParties are fun, especially if you are one who loves to meet people. The thing about parties is this – you need fantastic music as well as a decent supply of booze to keep the people happy, and at times, waiting at the bar could prove to be an exceptionally long moment before your order is fulfilled. How about solving this shortage of momentary manpower with the help of a robot? This is where the Monsieur Bartender robot comes in handy, where it comes in a boxy tabletop form factor that functions as a vending machine – albeit serving up cocktails instead of Coke or Pepsi.

All you need to do is to key in your order on a colorful touchscreen display or place an order from your phone, and the Monsieur Bartender will get to work right away, blending liquor with mixers and letting the contents settle into a cup. A fully equipped Monsieur Bartender has the capability to make up to 300 types of drinks. Not only that, the Monsieur Bartender will not take up too much space, measuring a mere 20” in height and 21” wide, sporting a color Android touchscreen display so that you can check out the potential drinks from up to eight mixers and liquors.

    How To Build Your Own Carbonation Rig That Adds Bubbles to Anything

    How To Build Your Own Carbonation Rig That Adds Bubbles to Anything

    Look, Sodastreams are great for their convenience and ubiquity, but there are some drawbacks. For starters, you can only use them to carbonate water. On top of that, the cost of the replacement CO2 cartridges (which you need to keep yourself "in bubbles") is higher than it needs to be. We’ve explored other systems that let you carbonate cocktails, but they’re prohibitively expensive and very inconvenient. We knew there had to be a better way.

    Temperfect Mug Will Keep Your Coffee/Tea At The Perfect Temperature

    Temperfect Mug Will Keep Your Coffee/Tea At The Perfect TemperatureWhen it comes to the perfect cup of coffee, the temperature cannot be too hot otherwise it would be impossible to drink, and neither can it be too cold because then it’s kind of gross, but unfortunately coffee will get cold, and at times you will get a barista who unfortunately does not know what they are doing when they overheat the milk. Well if you think you know how to brew the perfect cup or know a barista who does a great job, and you would like to prevent your perfect cup of coffee from getting cold too fast, this is a Kickstarter project worth checking out.

    Dubbed the Temperfect Mug, this is a mug that supposedly will bring coffee down to the perfect drinking temperature, and will apparently be able to keep it at said temperature for hours on end, and all of this is done is just 2 minutes. According to its creators, the secret to the Temperfect Mug is its insulation material which has the ability to now only draw out excess heat from the drink, but at the same time is able to transfer it back to the drink to maintain its temperature. To top things off, the mug does look pretty sleek and stylish.

    It is a great idea for those who love their coffee or tea and want to enjoy it for hours without worrying about it becoming cold and disgusting. As it stands the creators of the Temperfect Mug has managed to raise over $181,000, far exceeding its initial goal of $23,500, so for more information, hit up its Kickstarter page for the details!

    Everything That Goes Into a Cup of Eggnog

    Everything That Goes Into a Cup of Eggnog

    Traditionally, yes, eggnog included raw eggs. However, some countries today, such as the United States, severely restrict the use of raw egg in products, due to health concerns; thus, most commercial eggnog does not include raw eggs. (The FDA actually limits the egg yolk solids in eggnog to less than 1%.) You can, however, buy pasteurized eggs first before making your own eggnog (or partially cook the raw egg in milk to make a custard), but eggnog connoisseurs tend to frown upon this as it supposedly alters the flavor and consistency of the final product.

    Thermos Designed a Mug For the Slowest Sipping Tea Drinkers

    Thermos Designed a Mug For the Slowest Sipping Tea Drinkers

    It’s supposed to be a beverage that you slowly slip and savor, but once you’ve brewed a cup of tea it’s a race against the clock—and thermodynamics—to enjoy it while it’s hot. A thick ceramic mug helps with that problem, but even better is the double-walled insulated engineering that went into Thermos’ new tea tumblers.

    Halloween Cocktails + Dry Ice: A Spooky, Drunken Primer

    Dry ice is one of the most tried and true Halloween special effects. Simply drop a chunk into a liquid, then it begins to "boil" and emit a dense, creepy fog. Not only that, it’s cheap, simple to use, and way easier to find than you probably thought. It also happens to be fantastic—and fantastically ghoulish—in a lot of cocktails.
