Wanting.

I’m in love with Blomus stainless steel everything, and especially Blomus stainless steel tea things. This Blomus double-filter teapot shows the elegance of minimalist design…

Using.

I’m loving tea as an alternative to wasting time in line at StarCoffeeBucksBean. This Blomus tea filter is perfect for the morning: tuck a little loose-leaf tea into it, and swirl it in your tea cup…

Hating.

This Blomus tea bag clip seems sloppy after the economical design of all their other tea pieces, though, on third thought, it’d be chic for DIY sachets… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/03/24/blomus-tea-things-k-is/feed 0 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/03/10/blomus-stainless-steel-cups-k-is http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/03/10/blomus-stainless-steel-cups-k-is#comments Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:50:28 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2057

Wanting.

Blomus makes great stainless steel gear. I love the bright white of this cappuccino cup, balanced by the low glow of a brushed stainless steel handle and saucer…

Using.

I finally gave up Starbucks, etc., and started French pressing coffee and loose-leaf teas. A slower morning is a better way to warm up to the day, and I like the sensuality of watching the tea brew, then kissing it in this Blomus stainless steel cup…

Hating.

That gap in the Blomus cup’s handle is awkward…

Wanting.

So this hard-case wallet is actually made of aluminum. I just love its accordion style — you’ve got a mini-filing cabinet in your pants…

Using.

I bought this stainless steel wallet months ago, and stash all my credit cards, etc., in it. Brown leather, lined in orange, it’s decent looking enough that I can carry it around without a purse (I hate holding bags, if I don’t have to)…

Hating.

A woven stainless steel wallet sounds chic in theory, and looks geek in reality.

What’s cool about this wallet, though, is that it blocks RFID transmissions, so James Bond can’t scan and steal your personal and financial information as you walk by… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/03/02/stainless-steel-wallets-k-is/feed 4
