Recently I wrote up a Philips Kettle that promised to save energy and give you a hot cup of water fast. However, I have to say after looking over the Breville Hot Cup, I like it a whole lot better. Granted my reasons may seem a little silly, but I imagine it’ll appeal to a great deal of others. This device boils just as fast, saving you energy, but you don’t have to refill the water quite so often.
With this you just fill up the tank and then set the size of the cup you’d like to fill. It’s all pretty basic as far as the usage goes. Thankfully, despite the simple usage it has a smart design that’ll help you save on your energy bill. You can purchase it for £59.99 or about $90 through Nigel’s Eco Store.

Do you have a penchant for making music? You might be interested then in picking up the Melodyhorn Air Powered Synth, but don’t be fooled by it being made out of plastic. After all, being plastic doesn’t mean it won’t work as well as a metal piece of instrument, but then again it might just be a whole lot less longer lasting than one made out of the solid stuff.
Just what is the $29.99 Melodyhorn Air Powered Synth, you ask? Well, it is a brand of melodica, featuring keys of a piano, although you play it in a similar manner to that of a woodwind instrument, making it polyphonic like a keyboard or a harmonica. Haven’t heard of the melodica branch of instruments? Well, you might just be a wee bit surprised to know that the following artists have featured a melodica instrument in their albums or live shows before, and we’re talking about Ben Folds, Faith No More, Oasis, Depeche Mode, The String Cheese Incident, Cake, Cyndi Lauper, Indigo Girls, Herbie Hancock, and even The Beatles.
