Not A Second Cup of Coffee, But I Buy A Second Coffee Maker In A Week!

As you’ll see and hear on this week’s show, the TwoMeow K-Cup Maker I showed on last week’s show did not work out, and was quickly returned to Amazon. No amount of cleaning could get rid of the plastic taste in the brewed coffee! So I bought the more feature-laden Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Advanced 4-in-1 Single Serve Coffee Maker.

This single serve coffee maker can brew a cup of iced or hot coffee with a K-Cup pod or ground coffee. A big plus is the 45 oz water reservoir. Brew up to five 8 oz. cups of coffee without refilling. It also allows you to control the strength of your coffee with your choice of regular and bold brewing options. And it’s fast, brew a single cup in 2 minutes. It was $79.99 when I bought it and still that price on 9/17/26.

On a recent show Chad showed the Wakeman Portable Trash Bag Holder.

I liked it and went to order one. Chad’s was under $14.00. I saw those inexpensive trash bag holders, but I also saw a Heavy Duty Version for more than double the price. Since I wanted to leave it out in the yard all year long, I bought that one. It’s slightly bigger and can handle slightly larger 60L bags. It’s even ships with 7 of them. Like Chad’s model, it features a 3-legged base. But it’s seems to be a bigger and more heavy duty base that also has a drip tray, and a built-in compartment to hold a roll of trash bags. Plus a heavy-duty lid to minimize odors. It was twice the price of the one Chad bought, but looking at mine Chad said mine certainly looks “Heavy Duty”, and better looking if it’s going to be seen by guests. I paid $29.99 for the Heavy Duty Version. On the Amazon page, you’ll see the HD model and also listings for the under $14.00 versions.

When I saw the listing for the Gritin 19 LED Rechargeable Book Light, I had to buy one.

I didn’t need it for reading a book, but I thought it would make a great mini-task light. It features 3 lighting modes, Amber light (1800K), Mixed light (3400K), and White light (6000K). It had 5 step dimming, or you could long press the button for stepless dimming from 10% to 100%. It has a 1200 mAh high-capacity battery, and a large sturdy spring clip to attach it almost anywhere. It also has 4 LED indicators to show the power level. And it had a knock-out low price: $9.99. I bought two of them.

Wait, There’s More!! New, New, New!

Then, when checking the price has I making notes for this show, I saw the sometimes dreaded: “there is a newer version of this device”. It’s the Gritin 2026 Gen 2 version with 30 LEDs, a bigger battery, a choice of wide or narrow lighting and most amazing of all — still only $9.99. I bought three of them.

Video after I learned about the Gen2 model. Giz Wiz Video: https://youtu.be/D7ZFKu-eD5k

Then I found an $8.00 Gen 2.0 version as of 9/18/26! https://amzn.to/46wUPiW (Although this version seems to have the same features, the lamp head seems to be vertical rather than horizontal. Check the photos on Amazon before you order to see which you like better.)

And the $9.99 Gen 2.0 version: https://amzn.to/4rm29aD

Here’s a link to the first model I bought. It was still the price of the later model, $9.99

Chad’s New Cheap Gadget Theme, as voted on by our loyal Patreons for September, is — drum roll — “Cheap Storage Gadgets!”

Chad’s third Cheap Storage Gadget are the EpicTotes Metal Frame Storage Bins.

These are very useful said many in chat, me too. Each cube has a sewn in metal frame which keeps its shape. You’ll see in Chad’s demo on this week’s show they’re sturdy enough to stack one on top of the other. And each cube has 2 clear windows and both top and front zipper openings. Chad said this really allows quick access without having to unstack multiple boxes. The price was decent too. A set of four was $26.98, or about $6.75 per cube. If you scroll down on the Amazon page for these cubes you’ll see dozens of other varieties.

The Red Caboose, a 56 year old hobby shop in mid-town, New York City is closing.

I went there endless times when I was writing Match Game for Goodson-Todman. In those old-old days it was way more focused on model railroading. I had not been there in maybe 25 years, but I had to make a last visit when I heard about their mid-October, 2026 closing. What I found was some train stuff, but models of every kind and shape. You won’t believe the range and scope of the inventory they have (or had) when I shot this video mid-September, 2026.
