Besides making a potent cup of coffee, who knew that your French Press could be used to perfectly dunk your Oreos? Enter the Mini Dipper. Simply fill your French Press with milk, load up a few Oreos on the plunger, and dunk.

Since you’re now able to do a bunch of cookies at a time, you can invite a few friends over for a cookie and coffee party. Oh, the French press is filled with milk? Then just a cookie party then.

The Portland Press, A Mason Jar Coffee Maker

portland-press-and-jars_project-body

Stop me if you’ve heard this one… But someone has come up with an alternative use for a mason jar, and they’ve launched an online funding campaign to get the project off the ground. Only this time, the mason jar will help brew your coffee.

The Portland Press uses a few carefully constructed, American-made parts to help turn a mason jar into a functional French press. The Portland Press is also fitted with a wool cozy to keep your beverage warm and to help distinguish you from the other hipsters who are only using their jar to drink from — those posers. Find out more about the project here.
