How to use your Bripe - with inventor and co-founder Tim Panek

If you’re tired of hauling around heavy stoves and fuel just so that you can have your morning cup of Joe, the Bripe is the perfect solution. This innovative device provides you with an instant shot of coffee anywhere you are — whether its paddling down a river, hiking the backcountry, or ascending a mountainside. The best part? The Bripe brews coffee in a pipe.

This ultra light, ultra portable coffee brew pipe is capable of making an awesome coffee shot in under three minutes. The pipe is made of pure copper and includes a copper cooling stand and patent-pending inner core for faster brewing. A variable photo etched stainless steel filter is designed to be used with various types of coffee grinds. The process works by first inserting the filter into the body of the copper pipe, covering the stem hole. Coffee grinds are then added to the bottom, leveling off about midway up the pipe body. Next, water is added to the top and the brewing process can begin.

A quad jet torch is used to heat the bottom of the pipe until the water temperature reaches 185 degrees Fahrenheit. An included thermometer is placed into the water and read from the top, assuring the water reaches the proper temperature. Once the heating is complete, the Bripe can be set onto the copper holder to cool to a recommended temperature of about 140 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point, sugar or milk can be added if desired. Once the Bripe is cooled, you can blow gently through the pipe into the coffee and encourage it to breathe, releasing delicious wafts of espresso aroma.

Not a coffee drinker? The Bripe works great for tea as well. Just place a tea bag where the coffee grinds would go. The complete kit includes the Bripe coffee brew pipe, quad jet torch, reusable variable filter, thermometer, carrying case, and coffee tube. The kit bundles up into the convenient case and is small enough to be carried in a large pocket or the top storage compartment of any backpack. You can purchase the Bripe package for $84 on the company’s website, Briping.com.

I had written off bicycles, until e-bikes unlocked an entire world for me

Himiway C5

I have a lot working against me when it comes to riding a traditional bicycle: collapsed foot arches, bad knees, and nerve issues that extend into my pelvic floor and make it challenging for me to sit for any extended time on a standard bicycle seat. For all those reasons, I gave up on any chance of comfortably bicycling as an adult.

But when Himiway offered to let me try its new C5 e-bike, which features a motorcycle-style saddle that is both wider and longer than the average bicycle seat, I reconsidered. I cautiously hoped it could improve my ability to enjoy bike riding. However, I didn't expect it to completely change my life for the better.
The making of an e-bike guy
From the Engwe M20 to the Ride1up Revv1, e-bikes have embraced the motorcycle aesthetic, and the larger seats that go with them. For most riders, it’s just a cool look. For me, it opened a whole new world.

I ditched my car for a month of e-biking. Here’s what I learned

Since settling into my life as an "e-bike guy," I've been testing new bikes left and right. So when someone suggested trying to replace my car with an e-bike for a month, it didn't take much to convince me. With a growing variety of bikes at my disposal, it sounded exciting to challenge myself and to find out just how much of my normal routine could be maintained with two wheels and a battery.

Though I live in a rural county just outside of Atlanta, my townhome community is located right beside a commercial strip packed with restaurants, department stores, banks, and gyms. So while I've historically used my car to get around, I've always known I could easily reach anything I need on foot or by bike in a mere few minutes if needed. Now, it was time to put that knowledge into action.

The problem is you don't have quick access to a vehicle, nor can you retreat indoors to cool down quickly with central AC.

That's the perfect time to throw on TORRAS' COOLiFY Cyber, a cutting-edge wearable air conditioner. Wait, what? That's right, it slips right over your neck to keep you cool and comfortable.
