From her Unique Series, Carola Zee’s set of four gray ceramic coffee spoons for Label Aleph will delight any bean aficionado. The various porcelain shapes are manipulated by pressing the thumb into the clay—a key feature in the design—not only for functionality but because it uniquely molds each shape during the firing process.
The Impress Coffee Brewer combines a traditional French press with a travel mug, making it a great resource for mornings when there’s no time to steep. The clever design separates the grounds with an extra-fine filter basket, delivering a few clean cups of coffee, all while the double-walled stainless steel outer cup remains cool to the touch.
