Keurig

Think it's the only thing I use every day. Never used to get close the whatever the current recommendation is for water drinking but now I meet and even exceed hydration recommendations.

A friend has one and she told me that although she likes it, replacing the CO2 canisters is a pain.

Nah, the canister is easy to change… u just need to get the hang of it.

Saves a lot of recycling too! The canisters are not inexpensive however they make 60 L per canister and if you compare that to the price of soda it saves you money.

During the pandemic all the stores around here couldn't seems to keep them in stock so I now have too many canisters 'cause I'd ordered new ones online.

As far as replacing them in the machine, the newer models have what's called "Quick Release" fittings and they're pretty easy to replace.

and the only store in her area that takes the empty ones for …. redemption? …. recycling ….? is out of the way for her.

This was a couple years ago she told me this, so maybe the system has changed over that time.

And I put a little lime juice in it for time to time!

With that thing I can get enough loose fur off a cat to build another cat with.

Really a game changer in the garden and elsewhere.

It keeps butter fresh at room temperature so it's always soft and ready to spread.

There are many, many different styles. The link is to one from Crate and Barrel.

...all the time. Been doing this for years, with no ill effects.

The device has 2 parts. The top/lid/bell has a cylindrical part into which you put the butter. The bottom gets water put in it to a level sufficient to act as a seal to keep air away from the butter when you invert the lid and put it into the bottom part.

Bought from the hardware store where they were displayed at the register! $1.98.

Great question, Deb!

Computers, cameras, microscopes, Kitchen-Aid attachments, electric kettle, cars, and tools. Too hard to pick just one!

Used for stirring, mixing instead of wooden spoons

I guess my microwave. It's great for heating up food and making baked potatoes. It really helps keep the heat out of the kitchen during warm weather months.

It's lightweight and powerful, and the batteries last forever! I love it!

microwave to heat the milk--every way possible to make it, but with the Instant Pot it is so much simpler. Plus it sautes', slow cooks, steams, you name it. But, that yogurt setting is worth it all to me.

Second: My very reliable US-made (at least mine was) VitaMix Blender. Mine has to be 15 years old by now and I've had (knock on wood) no problems with it and use it at least once or twice weekly--EOD in warmer months to make smoothies.

Third: My Zojirushi Insulated Hot Water Boiler-- keeps water at preset temps for instantly available coffee pour-overs, teas (of all kinds), hot chocolate, Matcha, or whatever one wishes. And since it is insulated, it uses little energy except to boil the first time if you let it run empty.

I would be lost without it.

I got this using my VISA Rewards points. I use it for cutting down boxes and opening blister packs. It beats using a box cutter or scissors. Nice thing about it is it's rechargeable.




I bought this compressed air duster to clean my keyboards and other items where it's hard to reach to clean. It's rechargeable, has 3-speeds, 180,000 rpm, and comes with a couple of attachments.




Magic Twist Ties for tying charging cords. There are magnets at each end and the cord stretches so you can easily connect both magnets.

Handy little gadget. 1001 uses. Also works well on horse hooves.

Coffee maker that does not require paper filters (not a Keurig). It has a washable screen that serves the same function.

Weed trimmer head with three line attachment points that allows for line to be cut to approximately 1 ft lengths and inserted as needed. No more rolling up a spool of line and tapping only to have it tangle.

I bought four & here's where I keep them: 1. bedside 2. beside my LR chair 3. at my home desk 4. at my work desk. When I retired the work one went to the basement in my craft area. They are not only good for back scratching, but for reaching items & playing with your kitty.

Doesn't take up much space in the drawer.

To a small roar.
