  If you ever wanted to partake of the world’s favorite stimulant from Darth Vader’s helmet then you might want to head over to Amazon and take a look at this Darth Vader Ceramic Mug.

It’s called the Numi, and it’s possibly Kohler’s greatest creation, boasting features galore.  These [...]

   

• Nomad May Be The Best Portable Espresso Machine To Date

  In Gadgets, Housewares, Previews

  

  The thing about portable espresso makers is that most of them require pods, gas cartridges or pods and gas cartridges – so when a new hand-powered espresso machine pops up that needs neither of these things… we are going to take notice.

• Your New Favorite iPad Stand

  In Housewares

  In Gaming, Housewares, Reviews

  

  You’d think that in 2013 we’d have perfected the art of being able to spot false advertising, consider that with dozens of Internet sites reviewing everything from spray foam insulation to eatable candy underware for men, you’d expect that people would weed out these cockamamie gadgets.
