FROM MICHELIN-CALIBER INSTANT COFFEE TO A THRONE-WORTHY GAMING CHAISE, CLEVER WAYS TO ELEVATE YOUR CHERISHED HOLIDAY VICES

BY TIA KIM

CANA ONE MOLECULAR BEVERAGE PRINTER
This one satiates cravings while also ticking the sustainability box. Touted as the world’s first molecular beverage printer, the Cana One eradicates the waste associated with store-bought drinks. From cold brew and tea to flavored sparkling water and cocktails, the nifty devices “prints” custom beverages to order without one-use pods. Its ingredient cartridge holds 84 essential flavorings, so users can customize their perfect drink, and lasts a month before it needs to be refilled. $499

BREVILLE SOMMELIER DECANTER
‘Tis the season to open another bottle, but a vintage Bordeaux needs to breathe. This smart decanter speeds up the process by pushing 90% pure oxygen into the base of the carafe, ensuring oxygen hits all the wine rather than the surface alone. Just one minute of oxygenation is equivalent to one hour of decanting the old-fashioned way. $500

OUSEPLANT STANDING ASHTRAY
Spiff up your cigar lounge with this mid-century standing ashtray from longtime collaborators and Hollywood heavyweights Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. As part of the duo’s Houseplant brand, the ashtray is meant to “free smokers from the tyranny of a table.” Dramatics aside, it’s a handsome piece, crafted from rich walnut and solid polished brass with an integrated handle for easy movement. $295

HENDRICK’S GIN GAMING CHAISE
In an age of virtual reality and immersive video, Hendrick’s celebrates the art of old-world gaming in the laps of luxury. Unabashedly “extra,” this chaise was designed to accentuate the pre-digital era of leisure, namely pastimes like chess, cards, and backgammon. Crafted of buttery green velvet, rich copper accents, and wooden legs, the chaise features a pair of retractable arms to hold cocktails, cards, and game pieces. There’s also a pull-out drawer to stash the games when not in use, along with a bottle of Hendrick’s. $3,988

SPINN SMART COFFEE MAKER
Its stated mission is to revolutionize the home coffee drinking experience, and this clever device delivers on multiple fronts: the podless system spins fresh ground coffee to erase waste and boost flavor, and can prepare everything from espresso to cold brew. It pairs with an app, so you can press brew through your phone or Alexa, and you’ll receive an alert when it’s time to refill the beans. The app also connects aficionados with thousands of roasters around the world, from the big dogs to small mom-and-pop brewers, so you can find your perfect cup. $999

COMETEER COFFEE CAPSULES
This Massachusetts coffee manufacturer seeks to blend two glorious but formerly mutually exclusive niceties: convenience and superb quality. Touted as the world’s first hyper-fresh coffee capsules, each recyclable aluminum pod is filled with top-notch beans that are flash frozen at -321 degrees and shipped on dry ice. They are machine compatible, but Cometeer recommends merely opening and dropping the coffee into hot water or milk for the fanciest cup of instant coffee you’ve ever had. $64+
