We really like Bedell and just discovered Coffee Pot this fall (“Rock on”).
Other faves out there are Old Field and McCall.
If you like Rose’, I love Croteaux as beautiful place to sit and drink on a nice day
Have done McCall many times
Kontokosta is the furthest out, great views of the Sound. Usually start there and work back
Us, too.
Did their branding team never hear of smegma? I cannot take the brand seriously
Although, I will say they have some sexy fridges

Someone had to say it …
Yeah, me too. The toaster is cute, but i wouldn’t want that name in my kitchen.

LOL, well now I like it more.
Wut, you just told me what I’m buying my SO for valentines day. Thanks.
Now, if you’d just buy it and wrap it for me as well (a card wouldn’t kill you either), that’d be great.
It’s not extravagant, but i bought the Oxo gooseneck electric kettle. I think i picked it because it was the cheapest of the highly rated gooseneck electric kettles, but i think it’s cute.
I use it to make tea every day. I don’t really need a gooseneck, except the handful of times each year i make pour-over coffee. But i like that i can pour the water exactly where i want over the tea leaves, and i like that it never spills a drop. And the interface is easy to use. I heat water to 200f for black tea, and to 175f for green tea, and it brings it to whatever temp i set, gives one discreet beep, and then holds it there until it thinks I’ve forgotten about it, at which point it turns itself off.
(I think it holds the temp for half an hour. I’m not actually certain, as I’ve not yet forgotten. But my daughter sometimes forgets, and it doesn’t stay on forever.)

Ooh I like that. It might go on my birthday list. 
Well who wouldn’t?
How do I feel about Fahrenheit?

Nothing like seeing 32 as the water freezing point and I don’t even know what the boiling point is.
0 and 100 are just too easy
And 10cm cubed of water is a liter. A liter of water weighs a kilogram
Meanwhile, an inch.is the width of some dead guys thumb.

Eh, 200F, 93C, they are exactly equivalent in ease.
I actually prefer “English measures” for volume because there’s a different unit for every factor of 2-4. So you never have to deal with large numbers. I agree that metric weights and lengths are simpler. But i think Fahrenheit and Celsius are exactly equivalent, and it’s just a question of what you are familiar with.
The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it!
