Ingenious Shelving Units: Hole in the Floor Series by Raw Edges

via Freshome.com - Interior Design & Architecture Newsletter by Lavinia on 2/9/12

The collaboration between Yael Mer & Shay Alkalay led to the founding of Raw Edges, a design studio with a clever and original portfolio. For today we chose to present their project called Hole in the Floor and consisting of a series of ingenious shelving units. Based on the idea of things unexpectedly ending (in a physical sense), the unusual furniture pieces resemble vertical drawers which were literally sliced at the bottom. The impression a viewer gets is-as the name of the project suggests- that of a hole in the floor. We not only appreciate the originality of this idea, but its simplicity and elegance as well. The shelves come in a variety of sizes and can be used in both traditional and modern interiors. No mention about their cost on the official website of the designers, but if you are interested in making a purchase, try to contact them here.

Your Coffee Maker Is Trying to Kill You: Look out: Tassimo single-cup brewers have...

via Eater National by Paula Forbes on 2/9/12

Look out: Tassimo single-cup brewers have been "bursting" and scalding people, and thus 1.7 million of them are being recalled in the US and Canada. There have been 37 reports of hospitalizations due to the machines. Single-serve coffee machines: bad for the environment, wildly expensive, and also dangerous? [AP]

Coffee Buzz: Coffee Snobs Unite Over Hatred of Dark Roasts

Coffee Buzz: Coffee Snobs Unite Over Hatred of Dark Roasts

via Eater National by Paula Forbes on 2/1/12

It isn't just Starbucks that's going blonde these days: roasters from big chains like Peet's to smaller boutiques like Intelligentsia Coffee and Blue Bottle Coffee Co. are producing lighter roasts. Today, the Wall Street Journal profiles the trend, and, as articles on lighter roasted coffee tend to be, it's rife with blonde puns and coffee snobs that are really, really angry about dark roast coffee.

For example, Jeremy Tooker of Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco likes lighter roasts: "When it is dark, you taste charcoal, the same charcoal that's on a piece of toast." Burn (get it?). Also, retired school administrator Jackie Russell says of dark roasts, "It's really just a terrible taste to me. It almost tastes like something that has burned." All right, coffee fans, now it's your chance to vent all your dark roast frustrations in the comments. You know you want to.
