FlexBrew Makes Coffee Three Ways.
I thought I would make a bit more room in my tiny NYC apartment kitchen by buying one appliance to do the work of two. That’s why I bought the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew that offers 3 ways to brew coffee. You can make up to 12 cups with ground coffee on the carafe side or use dual purpose single serving inserts to brew a pod or ground coffee on the other. The included pod holder and single-serve grounds basket handle both options. A nice feature is that the cup rest can be removed so you can brew coffee into a tall travel mug. This coffee maker side has something they call Easy-Touch programming. After brewing, coffee stays warm for 2 hours and the power automatically shuts off. It does have a pause & pour feature so you pour a cup as coffee brews.There is a also a choice of regular and bold brewing options. Each brewing side its own water reservoir. I like the water fill windows that let you see exactly how much water you’ve added. $99.00. It makes great carafe coffee and K-cup coffee, but it’s a bit messy to clean up when you use the extra large ‘use your own ground coffee’ option since there’s only the built-in filter which has to be cleaned each time you use. You’ll hear more of my thoughts on this machine in the video on this week’s show. I bought mine on Amazon, where it was, and still is $99.00. I think that’s a great price for all the machine does.

An Inexpensive Clip That Can Save You A Lot Of Clean Up Time.
It’s called the Trudeau Flex Pot Clip and here’s how it works.
You just slip this stainless steel clip on the rim of pots, pans, or even bowls to keep your counter tops drip-free and clutter-free. When you’re taking a break from stirring sauce or gravy, it conveniently cradles the handles of most utensils, so drips go back into whatever you’re making and not on the countertop. Trudeau says their Flex Pot Clip with silicone construction is heat resistant up to 428° F. Available in colors, and priced under $10.

Heard Of Lazy Susan? Well, Meet Something Better – The Crazy Susan.
Yes, it looks like a lazy susan, but this one by YouCopia is labeled a crazy susan because it has a few extra features. First, there are 3 clear plastic bins to organize your spices, etc. The sides are great to keep items from falling off the turntable where you can’t reach them. The removable bins are clear and have handles inside and outside. The inside handles let you lift off the entire bin collection. The outside handles let you take off any one of the three bins. It also has stainless steel ball bearings that allow the 11” turntable to rotate smoothly and rubber feet keep it from sliding. It’s all ready to go right out of the box, there’s nothing to assemble. I paid $24.00 on Amazon as of 2/13/21. Check the reviews, they are quite good.Giz Wiz Video: https://youtu.be/MhejXyg_Txw

The Most Versatile Robot I’ve Ever Seen At CES!
It’s called the Samsung Bot Handy. Yes, there are always a lot of robots at CES, but this one from Samsung, still in the experimental stage, is designed to be real handy around the house. With the ability to “pick up objects of varying sizes, shapes and weights,” the one-armed Bot Handy can help with household chores, like sorting the dishes and tidying up messy rooms. Employing advanced artificial intelligence technology, it’s even smart enough to differentiate the material of various objects, so it knows how much force to use when picking something up. No release date, or price are available. It’s still very much in the design stage, but it’s fascinating how ‘handy’ a robot for the home might be in the future. May be available in the future.
