Design-forward coffee-centric brand Fellow upgrades their already great Ode grinder with the Opus. This new iteration, which is noticeably quieter than its predecessor, uses adjustable conical burrs to grind the finest espresso to the coarsest cold brew, and 41 steps in-between. Ready-to-brew coffee lands in an anti-static catch to reduce mess and that catch has an optional insert to make packing espresso into a porta-filter super-simple. For extra convenience the lid includes measuring sections and a printed guide to correlate grind size to brew type.

With a fine tip, this marker helps create details and intricate pieces (though larger markers are also available). Whether testing a tattoo or looking for ever-changing forms of self-expression, Inkbox’s markers enable a different, temporary form of creativity.

Apple’s newest Homepod offers improvements on the previous version at a more affordable price. An array of five tweeters is combined with a four-inch woofer to render great sound, but it’s a 360-degree microphone system that listens to the acoustic dynamic of its surroundings to optimize how those speakers perform. The mics also enable whisper-quiet level queries to Siri even while music is blasting. Two Homepods can be set up as left and right stereo channels and then paired with AppleTV to create a home theater system that, from our testing, performed far better than most third-party soundbars. Behind the exterior mesh (which is made from fully recycled materials) are also temperature and humidity sensors that can be leveraged for more advanced home automation.
