The Monster Beatbox does a good job of putting out loud sound and filling a decent size room with music, from a fairly compact form factor. For about $400 you get a very loud boombox style iPod/iPhone dock. The top sports a convenient handle which is good because the Monster…
I couldn’t wait. The long-awaited Sowden Oskar pot arrived, as beautiful in person as anticipated. I was impatient to try coffee brewed using what Sowden calls their “SoftBrew” method.
