Here are some cool contemporary bar stools from Varier. The furniture design can be attributed to Olav Eldøy. A great feature in these products is that they can be tilted forward or backward 8 degrees. Depending on my mood and energy level, being able to tilt back a little goes a long way to me sitting comfortably and being able to remain for a period of time. Conversely, there are times where sitting forward may be appropriate to be more engaged in a conversation or activity. These bar stools are fittingly called "Varier Eight" with the inspiration being that these are great for breakfast or even late into the evening. Product information: here.

Some times it just comes down to having a single cup of coffee by ourselves. Bodum has a small single cup coffee press called the "bistro mug" that is just for such occasions. A press does a wonderful job of getting the best taste from coffee beans. This coffee press is relatively inexpensive retailing for $20 at Sur la Table. I like this piece since it fits inside a coffee mug. There is a hook on the side to fasten it to the rim of the coffee cup. Then you create the whole concoction right in the coffee mug.

Having recently been doing a lot of cooking over the holidays, I realize the need for a good zester grater in the kitchen. Several of the recipes called for lemon peel and that is where this model by Microplane came in handy. This is a high grade zester grater that retails for less than $14 and is dishwasher safe. Fresh grated lemon does a much better job than that of the spice variety. Product: here.
