My wife swears by hydroflask. She (tells me she) collects unique ones from specific locations. Apparently, for instance, there are Hawaii specific ones not available anywhere else...?

 

[Epaulet]

I've got several Hydroflasks (bottles, cups, and tumblers). I use my whiskey one for coffee when I'm at home, but prefer the Zojirushi bottles when I'm on the go. I've never seen that lid before. Wonder if it'll fit my tumbler.

Oh awesome.. they do sell the lids by themselves too. I think that stuff is generally compatible with them.

I never thought that I'd be so obsessed with containers like this, but here we are, lol. I'm also on that 40oz Takeya tip for a way to track my hydration every day.

And speaking of that: for the longest time, I kept up a pretty rigorous skincare routine. I'd wash my face twice daily, use toner, and then a moisturizer. My skin was okay, but wasn't anything to write home about. I'd get breakouts and pimples. It didn't look particularly good. But I was living in NYC and drinking booze a few times a week and never really paying attention to hydration.

These days, I only use neutrogena cleaning wipes on my face, sunscreen in the morning, and Overt serum at night. I don't drink alcohol very often, and I try to have two full 40oz containers of water throughout the day. I tell you, my skin has never been more clear. Any dermatologist will tell you "good skin starts with proper hydration," and it's really true.

Well, they might tell you that, or they might try to sell you some insanely overpriced snake oil moisturizer. Sticking with cheaper basics has served me really well.

Happened to be Aeropressing some coffee now.

EDIT: Looks like they do fit the Rocks one. Will need to pick one up for my Rocks and my partner's Wine one. Our current lids don't have a closure system.

Aeropress is the truth. Hard to go back.

Hydration is definitely super important. Have to admit though I'd be lucky to have more than 8 ozs of straight water a day. 20 oz with my coffee.

Flavor is great and clean up so much easier than a traditional drip. I'm the only coffee drinker in our household so nice to be able to make just a cup.

Yeah and the filter situation lasts one year for a pack pretty much. Those gooseneck kettles with the slow pour also really bumped up the flavor for me.

You guys are really making me re-think the Starbucks cold brew I buy around 8:00 a.m. and nurse throughout the day from the plastic cup it came in while occasionally throwing a few more ice cubes in...

Haha, I was right there with you! All of this "flasking" is new for me, but once you try it, there's no going back.

Starbucks will generally fill your bottle too if you give it to them.

Ah man! I was on the fence and then it disappeared.

You know I just did the inventory and looks like we have one unit of size 40. There was enough to do three units, so they used all of the cloth. It's made with the same smoke MOP buttons as in the sample.

If anyone's interested... HERE'S THE LINK FOR IT

Sweet, looking forward to receiving it. Ran out to do some returns at the post office, and threw on my corduroy Doyle.

Sorry, can't do it, the wool/linen blend is prohibited by Jewish law. (It's absolutely gorgeous but I don't want to spend that much on a jacket right now that I don't really need or I'd snap it up in a heartbeat).

Aeropress++

I use it as a pour-over container. I nuke my water, slowly pour it into the press, stir for 10-15 seconds and then just let it sit for about 5 minutes while I go do other stuff. Then I come back and do a slow press for any remaining water and to gather the puck for disposal. Then I screw it all up with 3 ice cubes and a bit of heavy cream and add a little water if I deem it necessary (by volume in my mug). Cheap and quick, and easy peezy cleanup.

Also: STOKED about my new Doyle that just delivered. NOT STOKED about the 85 degrees it's supposed to be today. :/ I am going to have to get the sleeves taken up a little though.
