Asobu Insulated PourOver Coffee Maker

Asobu is a tastefully designed insulated coffee maker that, besides brewing delicious java, does one thing other pourover setups can’t – it keeps your wakey juice hot and fresh for up to 12 hours.

Featuring a double wall, stainless steel copper-lined insulated carafe with a heavy duty stainless lid to seal in heat, the coffee maker allows you to enjoy your brew for longer and take it to picnics, barbecues, work, or wherever it is you’re going. A heat-resistant borosilicate cone-shaped glass forms the upper brewing section, a collar section allows for safe handling even when hot, and a double wall micro-mesh stainless steel filter creates a perfect brew without the need for flimsy paper filters.

Holding up to 32 oz (1 Liter) of coffee, Asobu comes in four flavors: Black, Copper, Silver, and Burgundy.

Best Made Field Chest

Drawing inspiration from an original chest owned by professional photographer/inventor/adventurer Robert Edison Fulton (known for having traveled around the world on a motorcycle and for his aviation-related inventions), the Best Made Field Chest is a fine piece of furniture “built to house the items that bring to life our most passionate pursuits.”

Built by the venerated Gerstner & Sons in Dayton, Ohio, the impeccable chest is made from American cherry with hand-fitted joinery, brass hardware, and 6-oz. leather details. It features 12 uniquely sized drawers (some with knurled brass knobs, while the others have library pulls with card slots), a book cubby, storage inside the doors, a custom-made German centerpiece clock, and a secret compartment behind the back paneling.

The exquisite piece is emblazoned with Best Made’s classic motifs – a red sash and laser-etched BMC ruler.

Sean Woolsey Pool Table

Although a bit pricey for our pockets, the Sean Woolsey Pool Table would be a nice addition to our office (can we get a review unit?). Made with performance in mind, the finely crafted gaming table is made of premium materials such as American black walnut for the rails & legs, and rich black leather Inset drop pockets.

The 8-foot pool table also features a steel structure, pro tour felt wrapped around solid Brazilian slate, brass rail protectors, and embedded black epoxy rail sights for aligning shots. With the table, you get a handcrafted walnut triangle with maple splines, an exclusive pro ball set, two 57″ and one 42″ premium fiberglass cue sticks, and a bunch of black chalk. You’ll have to supply your own silly costumes, though.
