Hasta La Gadget!

I know I am not alone when I tell you that I can’t even begin to engage my brain in the morning without a cup of coffee. Okay, truth be told, it’s two cups of coffee and without it, everyone knows to not even talk to me. I often wonder how caffeine-free people make it through their day, or how they get anything done. One of these days I’m going to have to quit drinking coffee, but it’s not going to be today!

Especially since Lavazza (famous coffee maker) is making the first ever car coffee maker, to be offered as an option on the brand new Fiat 500L. Imagine, cruising down the road, with the aroma of freshly brewed espresso wafting through your luxurious new Fiat. With your brew bubbling right between your front seats, and plugged into its very own power source, you will have everything you need to keep you going.

Called the “coffee experience kit” it comes with two auto friendly cups, an espresso making base with a spoon and sugar holder (no word about milk or cream) Simply snap the new Lavazza into your Fiat’s secure center docking station and let Lavazza work its magic as your coffee pod is steeped in perfectly heated water, making an awesome cup of fresh espresso. Who needs Starbucks’s?

Well, I guess I do. While it seems like the new Fiat will soon be available in the U.S., it doesn’t look like the Lavazza coffee maker will be an available option for us. It appears that our sue-happy society (think McDonalds coffee on lap disaster) has got corporate attorneys too nervous to let us actually have an on-board coffee maker, but I’m not going to count out finding a retrofit kit on e-bay and hey, espresso is small darn it, I can drink it at a red light, as soon as I’m finished making my calls, putting on my make-up and finding a good radio station. For those that can, the kit is expected to be around 300 bucks and the new Fiat to go with it, $22,500.

Crank the grill up, your hands are now safe. The Heat Shield Barbecue Tools are exactly what every grill king or queen needs to manipulate the meat with confidence. Grill flare ups are inevitable, so let the stainless steel guard – which always faces the grill – take the heat. The set includes a fork, spatula and tongs that each extend and lock anywhere from 18 ¼” to 24” to suit your surface. The handles are ergonomic, hard-plastic grips. And the spatula has a probe thermometer tucked in the shaft to verify your grilling progress.

Available at Hammacher Schlemer for $79.95.

If you are one who loves your coffee, then here you are with the $29.99 Indispensable Coffee Dispenser – something that will definitely carve a smile on your face. After all, it has been named after the adjective, ‘dispensable’, and not ‘disposable’ for good reason. Capable of holding around 0.5 lbs of coffee grounds, it sports an airtight design that ensures your coffee grounds remain as fresh as possible, but I would assume that leaving it there for a year or more is definitely going to affect the quality and freshness of the grounds, that is for sure.

The Indispensable Coffee Dispenser will dispense 1 tablespoon at a time, and the main advantage that this particular coffee dispenser has over the rest of the competition would be its eco-friendliness. After all, there are no plastic coffee pods to think about, where those are particularly wasteful. A single squeeze of the handle will enable the Indispensable Coffee Dispenser to deposit a tablespoon of grounds straight into your coffee maker, espresso machine, or reusable coffee pod.
