#32The side-stand of a motorcycle that swings backward to retract. Such a simple yet life saving design.
For tech stuff, checkout Windows Surface Hub.

What brewing method do you use the grinder for? I've been using a blade grinder for French press, and the grind is so uneven that part of me feels like it probably doesn't matter, but the other part feels like a barbarian.

You have good taste! The Hosu chair looks very comfortable, though I'm too poor to afford one :(. Anything else you'd add to your list?

Care to share the top 3 things you like about it/top 3 things you wish other cars did?

#38Instant pot pressure cooker.
Want to use it as a crock pot? sure.
Want to saute things inside it first? sure.
Frozen meat or dried beans? Why not!

#39My jet black iPhone 7. A bit of a cop-out answer, but I'll be damned if it isn't the best looking, most comfortable (I use it without a case, and enjoy it), and best overall designed thing I own.
I almost completely agree with this. The camera is fantastic, but if it didn't stick out from the bottom (or if there were something to balance it on the other side) the iPhone 7 would be the perfect product. I don't like that it doesn't lay flat, and I can't fathom why the iPad Pro's were made in the same way.

#40A maybe overly-broad category, but the style of ceramic coffee mugs that have handles big enough to get all four fingers in. I don't realize how easy they are to hold until I'm using a mug that only allows one or two fingers in the handle.
