Blue Bottle Coffee Timbuk2 Pour Over Kit

Blue Blue Coffee popularized pour-over coffee techniques in the bay area and expanded all the way to Japan. It's only fitting that it now partners with San Francisco local messenger bag company Timbuk2 to create the ultimate leather bag pour-over coffee making kit. The two kits are priced at $179 and $349, each comes with a bag with an unique design, a dripper, paper filters, coffee beans, two enameled tumblers, two felt zarfs or sleeves, a mini hand grinder, and an two extras for the larger more expensive kit - a kettle and a scale. See illustrated comparison chart below. This is a perfect gift for bay area techies, coffee lovers, road trip affectionados and a classy gift for men. It also makes a great gift to Japanese visitors since Blue Bottle has gained quite some popularity in Japan as well.

Japanese Children Educated about Poop - Yes, Perhaps Only in Japan


As we know many interesting and strange things happen in Japan. It's a country that leads technology innovation, design and arts, and yet it's also the home to many strange novel things. 

Above is a picture showing Japanese children sliding down a giant toilet while wearing a poop plush hat, in order to be educated about poop... or feces... yeah bizarre indeed. 

The above collage shows superman poop, various shapes of poop, animated toilet complaining about human abuse, and quotes of humans complaining about toilets... yes, a different culture indeed.

Scent, Memory of California Big Sur Cabin Spray

We recently discovered this unique cabin spray of cypress pine soil mushroom natural medley reminiscent of central Californian coastal forests, cliffs, rocks and shorelines. A natural product by Juniper Ridge an Oakland based local Bay Area company, which managed to infiltrate trendy and rustic San Francisco boutiques on Divisadero Street and in Hayes Valley. 

The scent is very refreshing and unique. Any one who has spent some time around campfire and cabins, hiking trails, and the lush red wood forest of Muir Woods and the coast lines of Big Sur, may get the instant rush to go back to nature.

Each Juniper Ridge product is artisan grade, comes with a harvest number, showcasing its natural real origin, memories of campfire, trail roads, and wooden cabins. 
Juniper Ridge's packaging captures the popular lumbersexual designs perfectly, a perfect blend of modern and rustic.

Juniper Ridge has received Press attention from lifestyle magazines like Monocle
