Bitterness Eliminating Coffee Maker makes life sweeter
When it comes to coffee, this is one drink that plenty of us cannot make do without. Just as there are different kinds of beer around that you gulp down the night before, so too, you greet the morning with a variety of beans to suit your palate. Most coffee can be said to be bitter to a certain extent, letting you overdose on sugar if you can’t take the bitterness and yet still want your caffeine fix? Enter the Bitterness Eliminating Coffee Maker, where the name itself is pretty much self-explanatory.
This coffee maker will brew at 200ºF, which would be the brewing temperature preferred by baristas, where it eliminates bitter tastes and extracts rich, flavorful coffee. Why is this model different from the rest? Well, it heats all of the water to 200º F before it starts the brewing process, helping maintain the temperature throughout the whole process to help do away with bitterness.
No idea on how effective this $149.95 device will cost, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Anyone given it a go, and does it really work? If no, it might end up to be a bitter purchase experience…
Road Kill Toys
Everyone knows that road kill is not pretty at all, but somehow, the folks over at Firebox have managed to find a quirky way to talk about death to the younger ones, thanks to the Road Kill Toys. These have already had their souls gone over to teddy heaven, but the physical visage left behind which is none too pretty remains. At £24.99 a pop, you can forget about getting a fluffy bunny or huggable bear – instead, you will end up with a squashed, pancaked critter that some might even say be beyond recognition.
You will be able to choose from Twitch the raccoon, Grind the rabbit, Splodge the hedgehog and Smudge the squirrel. All of them have seen the headlights of an oncoming car, and failed to take the necessary evasive moves, meeting their end under some rubber. Made using extra squidgy material for the organs, as well as mangy-effect fur, you can be sure that they’re works of art that deserve to be appreciated.
ReCover iPhone 4 Case
Your iPhone 4 might be so 2010, but that doesn’t mean you can bring it back to the days of past gizmos to help it remember the hottest portable devices of yore? Basically, what we’re asking you to do is not step into a time machine, but to purchase the £12.99 ReCover iPhone 4 Case and fit it to your smartphone instead. You will be able to choose from a trio of designs – a game controller, a calculator, and an old school camera.
This is the perfect way to make sure your iPhone 4 remains free from scratches, although we can’t guarantee that it will be able to survive a knock or a long drop to the hard concrete floor. The print of the retro icon will be at the back, and some might even think that you’ve gone insane putting in a game controller into your pocket until you flip it to the other side…
Out of the three, which design would you aim for?

Bring Jurassic Park to your home with the 20 Foot Animatronic Triceratops
I’m not too sure about you, but when Jurassic Park first hit the cinemas all those years ago, my jaw literally dropped to the floor for the first time in my life. Such lifelike special effects that made me ask, “Just how the heck did they manage to do it?” To see man and dinosaur walk together is truly one of the more spine-chilling experiences to date, even though it was only on the silver screen. Well, since Father’s Day is already over and you need to start earning brownie points with your kids to be called the “Best Father in the World” for 2012, here’s a quick tip – bring home the 20 Foot Animatronic Triceratops for them.

3-in-1 All Terrain Robot
Have some spare time over the weekend that you want to dabble in a robotics project? Well, you can’t really go wrong with the 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot, that’s for sure. After all, it costs a mere £24.99 a pop, where it comes with half a dozen separate caterpillar tracks as well as a choice of three possible models, giving you much more bang for your hard-earned buck than any other robots out there in the market.
You name it – piles of leaves or pebbly beaches, the 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot is capable of traversing through them without missing a beat. You will be able to change between the robot’s Rover, Forklift or Gripper forms, while the basic wired controller ought to be enough to give you control over just about anything. The caterpillar tracks will make manoeuvring in tight spaces a snap. Just make sure you have a quartet of AA batteries ready to power the wired controller…
Nox Audio Specialist and Scout Headphones
While I was at E3, I got a chance to see Nox Audio and their products. Their latest and greatest aren’t coming out until later, but I had a chance to try out the Scout and the Specialist.
The Scout is essentially a pair of earbuds that “sets the standard for audio performance”. The Scout allows for portable gaming, listening to music, as well as being able to manage calls with a touch of a button.
As for the Specialist, I have a picture of that after the jump. It is also designed for everything that the Scout is for, but it is the over-the-ear headphones. It has a volume control located at the ear that is essentially a big knob.

These big statue heads are stereo speakers
As much as I hated Batman and Robin, the 1997 film that was probably worse in quality than the original 1968 Batman film, I did admire it art direction. In Batman and Robin, the city of Gotham was re-envisioned as a city of giant towers, mixed with gigantic statues.
I had to admit that I liked that aesthetic of gigantic statues mixed with everyday architecture, and you can have it in your home with Richard Grant’s new stereo speakers.
Behind the eyes of these giant heads are the cones of the speaker, and I don’t know how loud of a sound that this delivers. I also don’t know what materials that they are made of, as sources about this item are pretty brief to say the least.
