The morning coffee ritual is a sacred one for many people. Whether it's a time to gather yourself at the start of a day, an act of service to someone you love or a moment of pause in the middle of a busy schedule, it can be a kind of meditation. This gadget, about to be launched on Kickstarter caught our eye because it takes that idea and crafts it into an old school scale that emphasises that peace. It also looks super fun. We love being in a subculture that has so many quirks and so much innovation.
