Gadget watch
The Press Bot is a French press coffee-maker that fits in a standard-sized nalgene water bottle, so you can make gourmet coffee from your campsite.
I could see trying one of these for early-morning coffee at work. MEC sells them for $18.50.
It looks like it would be an absolute beast to clean, though – the manufacturer’s site skips over that part. My one adventure with making hot drinks in a Nalgene involved finding out while the bottle quickly becomes too hot to touch, the cap expands faster than the bottle and will come off, spraying a litre of hot tea everywhere. I haven’t tried it since.
