The RoadRunner Travel Coffee Brewer

$150.00

From Weber Workshops, one of our favorite coffee gear makers, The RoadRunner is a new travel- and outdoor-friendly version of their The BIRD no bypass, filter and vacuum brewing machine, created to deliver a range of coffee expressions; it’s not a French press as one may easily assume. Led by Doug Weber, a former Apple designer and coffee nerd, the Japanese company’s gear is beautifully designed and exactingly engineered. The RoadRunner shares The BIRD’s DNA, but in a lighter weight and travel-friendly (yet still durable) design, and features the same Pod (a stainless steel mesh filter and custom Abaca paper filter), carafe (holds the ground coffee and water) and the Gizmo (the crown and claw plunger). The vacuum system is designed to allow full control over your hot or cold preparation of choice (from seconds to hours) and lets you use a much wider range of grind size, providing substantially more options for the brew you desire and enabling you to extract more flavor than in a traditional press. When ready, you simply rotate the wing nut to start filtration. Most importantly, because the brewed coffee is separated from the grounds you avoid both bitterness and over-extraction. The RoadRunner can make up to 350ml per brew.

The Shadow Parka

£1,995.00

Private White V.C. is the house brand of one of Great Britain’s most highly regarded outerwear manufacturers—it’s the company you think of when you think proper raincoats and coats for all seasons, the ones the locals wear to keep the wind and rain out. A long-time CH fave, their latest launch is worth investing in—the only down parka made in Britain, and likely the only one you’ll ever need. Never ones to shy away from a challenge, when the idea came up to make a great down parka it would have made more sense to use specialty manufacturers in Asia, but that goes against the spirit of the brand. Already a leading manufacturer or all kinds of outerwear, they took on the challenge of making a down garment, more complicated, more training for the manufacturing team, more equipment, more time, and more investment. The result is an impeccably made waterproof parka using the best materials available, from the highest rated down, a waterproof ventile shell, detailed stitching, a detachable hood, 100% merino collar, external pockets lined in 100% cashmere, knitted storm cuffs and a military grade copper RIRI zipper. Like all of Private V.C.’s products its guaranteed for life.
