Fill Up Your Brain: Equal Measure Cup from FRED

Have you ever wondered how what 6.8 billion grains of flour look like? This, incidentally, is also how many people live on our planet. How about twenty thousand grains of rice? Or maybe you want to ...

Nomadic Espresso: The Handpresso

Have you seen the Handpresso? It's a marriage of a bicycle pump and an espresso machine - two very functional items that obviously belong together. Right? OK, maybe not. It's a portable espresso mac...
