This incredibly well-designed manually operated espresso maker uses zero electricity and is environmentally friendly – it only requires the amount of energy it takes to boil a kettle, plus a little human-powered force to press. Seems like the end result would by more satisfying as an end result. {via Design Milk}
These graphic-heavy posters of awesome (AKA City Posters) from The Heads of State (AKA Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers) have been popping up around the web for the past week or so, but there’s no way I could pass up sharing them. As it stands Miami, NYC, Seattle, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Phoenix and D.C. are covered. Wondering how long it will take them to make one for Oklahoma City? Never gonna happen.
