You Can Make Cold Brew Coffee Yourself. Here’s How.

Anna FreemanCold brew coffee has been a hot trend these past few years among avid coffee drinkers. Even coffee chains like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts have incorporated cold brew beverages into their product mix. As a coffee addict myself, I can admit to having burned a hole in my pocket just to experience this holy grail of coffee. Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery, right? Well, consider me healed, because I’ve become a pro at brewing my own delicious cold brew. My bank account thanks me, and shortly you probably will too.
For those who don’t know, let me clarify what cold brew is and what makes it so great. Despite its name, cold brew is NOT the same as iced coffee. Cold brew simply refers to the temperature at which the coffee is brewed, not the temperature at which it is actually served. Meaning, cold brew can be enjoyed as a delicious hot cup of coffee too. Cold brew is made from ground coffee beans that have been steeped in cold water for 12-24 hours, eliminating the use of high temperatures normally needed to brew coffee. The cold brew process replaces heat with time. This results in a flavorful, strong and less acidic concentrate that becomes the foundation of a perfectly crafted cup of coffee. Here’s the best part: the concentrate can stay fresh in the fridge for up to two weeks, thus eliminating the hassle of having to brew a pot of coffee every morning. Pretty cool, right?
So, without further ado, I present to you: The Toddy Cold Brew System. The Toddy Cold Brew System, or “Toddy” for short, is a non-electrical coffee maker that uses a cold water filtration process to extract the rich flavor of the coffee beans into a smooth yet strong concentrate over a 12-24 hour period of time. For just $45, you can purchase the Toddy Cold Brew System on Amazon. It comes with a set of instructions, a recipe guide, one brewing container with handle (BPA-free), one glass decanter with lid, two reusable felt filters, one stopper and three paper filters.
Toddy Cold Brew Coffee Maker System with Extra Filters and Rubber Stoppers Bundle — $49.99
Now, I’ve been using my Toddy for about six months now and I really do love it (and all the money it’s saving me), but I’m still going to give it to you straight. The preparation process might take a time or two to perfect, but it gets much easier the more you do it. Not to mention, the clean-up is quick which is always a plus. The brewing container itself is made out of plastic and can be damaged if not handled properly. Mine started to leak after about two months of having it and I had to order another one, which I’ve had no problems with. Although the initial price might seem a bit steep, it has definitely paid off in my experience and is a great product for all my fellow coffee lovers.

At $9, This Silly Plush Turkey Hat Is A Must-Own

Jack KocsisIn 2022, Santa hats are out. Silly turkey hats are in.
I was on Amazon looking for things to do over Thanksgiving with relatives (eventually landing on the brand new game Christmas Categories) when I came across this:
Kangaroo Plush Thanksgiving Day Roasted Turkey Hat Tan — $8.95
My first thought was that it creates the perfect opportunity for someone in the family to recreate the classic Monica turkey head scene from Friends:
Then I realized that there are many ways you can have fun with the turkey hat Thanksgiving. When you play games, you can decide in advance that the loser has to wear the turkey hat. Or perhaps you can start a tradition that whoever carves the turkey each year gets to wear the turkey hat. The possibilities are endless!
No matter how you are spending the holiday this year (with funny turkey hat, or sans funny turkey hat), the We Know Products team wishes you a very happy Thanksgiving!

Keep Comfort Within Arm’s Reach With NAIPO’s New Handheld Massager
Published

Jack KocsisIf you go on Amazon and search for “handheld massager,” you will find dozens and dozens of clones of the same $100 massage gun. My immediate reaction upon seeing this was that there is no longer any innovation in the massager industry. Instead of actually investing in R&D to come up with more advanced ways to help customers, massager companies seem content to copy one another and compete on price.
One company gives me hope. That company is NAIPO, a well-known massager brand whose stated mission is to help people all over the world “Find Well-being.” NAIPO’s latest handheld massager features a brand new design that provides added value for the user. While it is still a percussion massager, its sleek comfort-grip handle grants access to otherwise inaccessible areas of the body. It also features 5 interchangeable massager heads so that you are able to treat each acupuncture point with the best possible massage.
This attention to detail creates a truly customizable experience. After a workout or just a long day at work, you can choose from 5 different speed levels and 5 different working modes, from gentle relaxation to vigorous, deep-tissue massage. By virtue of the extended front grip, you can give exactly the right type of massage to previously neglected muscles all over your body.
A common complaint about percussion massagers is the noise level that can make it awkward or even impossible to use in public. The new NAIPO handheld massager is different. Unlike its competitors, it provides amazing results with only a single massage head. This has the twin effect of reducing noise levels and making it lighter and therefore less unwieldy, a huge plus especially for older users.
The NAIPO XF-5120 handheld massager will be available for purchase soon, and at $52.99 it is inarguably cheaper than similar products on the market. You get your very own either at NAIPO’s own storefront on naipocare.com or on Walmart.com. Stay tuned for more updates!
