Featuring a large dial control, this designy coffee grinder from Fellow is intended for use in the home but offers barista-quality results. The precise machine comes with professional-grade 64mm flat burrs, 31 grind settings, and was engineered to be a lot quieter than its existing counterparts.

A fun hands-on project for photography buffs and 3D printing fans alike, this campaign is offering STL files so you can make your own version of the Brancopan 35mm panoramic camera pictured above.

The environmentally-friendly Eureka! Cup is an updated take on the menstrual cup that can be emptied without removal.

Silicone heads inside this protective holder safely secure objects upside down. Originally designed as a better way of storing toothbrushes while minimizing bacteria, the neutral design could be useful throughout the home.

Frequent travelers take note of this improved travel pillow, packed with extra rigidity and all-around support to keep you properly aligned and pain-free.
