Nesting
Home should be a sanctuary, a retreat and an escape. While most of that comfort and bliss is thanks to the people who inhabit a space, it also comes from treating ourselves. Everybody’s version of tranquility is different, and what we do to achieve it comes down to taste and budget. For some, it’s a lavish throw blanket to cocoon in while watching movies. For others, it’s soaking in the tub and reading a book. Whether it’s beautiful loungewear, incense, serums, candles or cushions, each item here is meant to be enjoyed while relaxing, indulging or snoozing at home. Staying home needn’t feel defeatist; it can be replenishing, comforting and provide us with much-needed rest.

Laundry Detergent Cubes
Laundry Detergent Cubes
You are likely aware that liquid laundry detergent is mostly water and comes in large plastic containers—and yet we expend a lot of effort, cost and pollution moving these containers around, just to wind up in a landfill. Then there’s the contents, which are often full of chemical surfactants, phthaletes, preservatives and more. There are several more natural options, like Nellie’s, which packages its small cubes in a square aluminum box. Nothing exotic in their very clean formula, which includes baking soda, citric acid, sodium carbonate, salt, natural enzymes, sodium metasilicate, alcohol ethoxylate as a biodegradable surfactant. One little cube, tossed in the washer drum, is all you need. We prefer the unscented version, but it’s also available in Spa Day, Lavender and Fresh Linen, all naturally scented. They also make dishwasher cubes and other laundry products. There are 64 cubes in a box, get four boxes and save $20.

Matic Robot Vacuum + Mop
Matic Robot Vacuum + Mop
Matic Robot Vacuum + Mop has been cleaning up CH HQ for a few weeks now, and we’re impressed both by how well it performs and how considered its design is. From the site to unboxing, set up and operation Matic makes it easy. It has a pretty unique form factor with swagger despite its compact size, and small touches like googly-eye stickers give it more personality than most robot cleaning devices. The app is well designed and easy to use. The data it collects stays on device, meaning maps of your home or office aren’t uploaded and shared and stored remotely. Advanced computer vision (it has five cameras) help it view and map your space, allowing it to easily operate in low or no light and avoid obstacles. Vacuumed material (including liquids) goes into a HEPA-12 bag, which has gel-forming salts that solidify the liquid, resulting in a single bag that is easily removed and replaced without needing to empty a dirty liquid chamber. The rotating microfiber mop uses fresh cleaner, and what comes off it when it cleans itself also goes into the bag. Designed and assembled in California, Matic has consistently met and exceeded our tests, easily cleaning crumbs in corners and dog hair everywhere, and its mop takes care of minor spills easily. While we truly have no notes, the office dogs would definitely tell you not to bring one home. Matic Serene, a new addition, provides all of the Matic’s cleaning prowess in the same package with quieter operation, for an additional $200.

Cold Brew Coffee + Tea Brewer
Cold Brew Coffee + Tea Brewer
“Cold brew, but make it fast” is now just minutes away with Brezi Cold—a purpose-built cold brew brewer for coffee and tea. We’ve been testing it for several weeks and are really happy with the results. As you know cold brew is one of the gentlest brewing methods, preserving all of the taste with with substantially less acid. It starts with a hot water bloom to get the coffee primed, then moves to cold brewing, all based on the parameters you’ve set. A fresh cold brew takes around 10 minutes (which varies based on brew volume) and a Kyoto-style slow drip method (our favorite) is also available (which takes around an hour, also based on brew volume). Founded by passionate runners who wanted to enjoy post-run cold brew, they developed their own system when alternatives were lacking. The machine is thoughtfully engineered, with a simple control dial on top of the machine that rotates through brewing options. The grounds cup attaches magnetically. It’s simple to use, and delivers a satisfying cold brew experience.
