Product review: Autsmile Portable Electric Spin Scrubber Rechargeable

 

 The spin scrubber can be used with and without an extension pole. It comes with various pads for windows, toilets, and cars. It also has brushes with different shapes; I particularly like the one designed for corners. Without the pole, I can use it to wax and polish the car. With the pole, I can wash the tub without bending down. Does it wash the tub as good of a job as hard scrubbing by hand? No. But it does a decent enough job that a person with a back like me can do without pain. I scrubbed the tub for 10 minutes without stops, and the battery worked as well at the end as it did at the start. Overall, I am happy with it.

Product review: Immortalitea White Mulberry Leaf Tea in tea bags

 

 Mulberry leaf tea has a flavor reminiscent of green tea, with a slightly earthy and bitter taste. The tea is packed into a foil-lined zip lock bag. The tea bags are triangular pyramids, but the material has a plasticky feel. I am not sure if they will compost fast. I like putting used tea bags into my composter, and I have had trouble with bags with this feel before (i.e., they did not compose in one season, which is what I need to use my compost in the garden each spring. They do compost eventually, just not as fast as I need ).

Product review: Coffee Roasting Kit by OurHands

 

The OurHands package includes six small bags, 1.7 oz each, of raw green coffee beans.
It includes 6 different raw coffee beans:
1. Old Brown Java from Indonesia (woodsy notes)
2. Columbus Excelso from Columbia (caramel notes)
3. Brazil Santos from Brazil (nutty notes)
4. Ethiopia Djimma from Ethiopia (berry notes)
5. Mysore Plantation from India (clove notes)
6. Yellow Bourbon from Brazil (chocolate and caramel notes)

The kit includes a de-chaffer (to remove the dried skin of the bean), a cotton bag, and a coffee color chart.
You need to provide an oven, baking tray, and spoons.

You can control the level of roast: 2 minutes for light, 4 minutes for medium (stirring every 2 minutes), and 6 minutes for dark roast (stirring every 2 minutes). The beans are ready to use in 24 hours, as they need 24 hours to degas.

Purchased September 2023, expires August 2025.

The total amount of coffee in the package is 10.2 oz, so it is expensive compared to other options for raw coffee that average about $8 a pound. However, it is a nice gift for a coffee lover to try roasting your own for the first time!
