Saeco Magic Comfort Plus Super Automatic Espresso Machine
Hands down the greatest invention of all time. Essentially a barista inside of a 1×1x1.5 ft plastic and metal box of beauty, the Saeco Magic Comfort Plus may not the be the newest in super-automatic espresso machines but it is still a de-facto standard accessory in the home of Portuguese families up and down the East Coast. Why is it “super?” Cuz it does it all. Sure it costs an arm and a leg but after brewing 1541 cups of espresso (oh yeah it tells you), it has paid itself off in convenience quality and ease of use. If you’re gonna buy an espresso machine, you NEED to buy a super-automatic. Live big.

Le Creuset 12″ Frying Pan
The French do it best when it comes to cast iron cookware. About the only essential frying pan needed in any home is the Le Creuset 12″ frying pan. Beat the shit out of it. Over heat everything on it. Let a nice thick greasy patina build up on it (some people call it seasoning) and this pan will probably outlive you. Even better, if anything happens to go wrong with it, they’ll replace it for you. Thats class. Available in a variety of colors. Default is red.

IPEVO Free.1 USB Skype Phone
The best Skype phone on the market. Forget buying those third party no-name handsets for Skype. What makes this the killer Skype is its 16K Skype to Skype call sampling rate and its 8k rate to landlines. Its the clearest signal you can get from a Skype handheld. Did I mention it has actual working Mac OSX drivers? I have mine permanently plugged into my monitor’s USB hub and attached via some velcro. It’s always right there.

MUJI Plastic Card Case x 2
My wallets. One for the AMEX, driver’s license, subway cards and the other for business cards. At $2 USD each, you cannot beat them. The slimmer the wallet the better and these are slim.

iPhone
Name says it all. Cant’ wait for 3G.
