Popular with coffee enthusiasts worldwide, including the Giz Wiz, is the AeroPress Go coffee maker. It use a fast brewing process (similar to French Press) to make a smooth, full flavored cup of coffee. With the AeroPress & the newer AeroPress Go paper Micro-filter, there’s no grit in your cup and clean up takes seconds. Plus, you get 350 filters in the box with the Go! Also with the “Go”, the company says you can make 1 to 3 cups of American coffee per pressing in about a minute. Cold brew coffee per pressing in about two minutes and it can brew espresso style coffee for use in lattes & cappuccinos. You’ll see in the video how compact it is, with everything needed fitting in the mug you brew into and drink from. In hotels you can make hot hot water with one of those portable travel immersion water heater devices, or brew a really nice cold brew coffee when you have no access to water. When packed up, the AeroPress Go is great when traveling, camping, boating or otherwise on the go. It’s about $32.00.

The inCharge 6 – or as Amazon calls it: The Six-in-One Swiss Army Knife of Cables, Portable Keyring Compatible with Apple iPhone/USB/USB-C/Micro USB Cable for All of Your Devices. This cable is short, about 2”. The whole device ready to charge is about 5”. But it’s versatile. You get USB to USB-C, USB to combo Lightning/Micro USB, USB-C to USB-C & USB-C to dual Lightning/Micro USB. The device is very lightweight and easy to use once you master the ‘hidden’ connectors. With built-in magnets the heads snap together to hang on your keyring, backpack, etc. The company says you can sync and charge simultaneously. And this I haven’t seen before. This cable supports power transfer from one USB-C smartphone to another which doesn’t have to be USB-C, as you’ll see in my video. It can also charge from one USB-C smartphone to another type of portable device. So you can give a charge to a phone running out of juice, or charge earbuds, etc. It was under $20 on Amazon on 12/27/21, but that price can change at any time.

It’s the TreeMendous Christmas Tree Ornament Decorating Kit. The company says it’s designed for kids Ages 3 and up. I certainly enjoyed using it and designed a couple of ornaments to give away. It’s a fun way for the family to join in and design their own ornaments. The kit comes with three ornaments and a set of 8 nontoxic colorful markers, allowing for many options to create colorful unique creations! I’ve used the kit and it is fun, but there isn’t a wide opportunity to personal the ornaments since you’re decorating an ornament that spins in one plane. So you can’t make pictures, write your name, or personalize it with things like that. But it’s still a lot of fun. You can buy the kit by itself, or with a box of 6 additional ornaments. More different shaped ornament are also available and sold separately. 3 AA batteries are required and are not included. The kit with 3 design-your-own ornaments is under $30. Many options are available on Amazon at the link below.

This is new from Chefman, The InstaCoffee Max+. I bought their original Insta Coffee, but just bought this one too to see the difference. A small difference is that this single serve Kcup maker brewed a cup of coffee in 96 seconds, just a tad faster than my original model. It started brewing in under 30 seconds. But, a big difference is the size of the basket included to make coffee fast using your own fresh ground coffee. With the original one I made about 8 ounces of coffee with the small included basket. Chefman says this new one brews up to 14 ounces of coffee from your own ground coffee. Also different is a water gauge and a cup lift is included on the new model. It was priced the same as the original one, ranging from about $40 to $50. When I bought mine I paid $39.99 and it was still that price on 12/5/21, but Amazon prices can change at any time.
