As broadband proliferates, so do the services that rely upon fast video streaming and low-latency activities such as gaming and VOIP. Having a slow router is a serious bottleneck and having one without a significant range can really reduce its performance in homes that have a lot of obstacles to navigate. If you are looking for powerful home wifi routers that have the ...

Lix 3D Printer Pen
If you like doodling and wished you could doodle in thin air, then this is your next travel gadget. You don't need any paper. You can start on a table top surface and draw straight upwards, even at an angle, joining your lines into a pyramid for stability. Or, you can doodle horizontally on a flat surface, then connect your component parts into a lattice-work that you can prop ...
Ultraportable Handpump Espresso Machine – Wacaco Minipresso
This is a travel gadget made after my own heart - a portable, hand-pump mini espresso machine that you can take anywhere to enjoy freshly made espresso! The technology behind it is simple but genius. The whole unit weighs less than a pound and can be held in one hand. You open the top to put in your coffee, which can be ground beans or a coffee capsule (it supports Caffitaly ...
UltraPortable Kole Thermos Flask – 4 shots of Espresso or Whiskey a Go Go
After all our posts about coffee recently, it seems appropriate to discuss how you might carry it around with you. The Kole thermos flask looks like a large cigar holder but holds your favourite beverage, instead, keeping it hot or cold until you need to consume it. I wouldn't use the Kole thermos flask for soup, though. Can't imagine how you'd clean out that mess with such ...
Coffee Grinder is better than Coffee Blender
I used a portable Krupps coffee blender for years and was none the wiser, until it packed up and I had to find a new one. Something caught my eye with the deLonghi coffee grinder and, despite the higher price, I went for it. I am extremely happy with my decision. The difference in taste is really significant! Even though the Krupps is classified as a coffee grinder, it ...
Brexit to Infinity and Beyond!
I wish I could rejoice in the decision yesterday to leave the European Union but I find myself feeling a profound melancholy. I was not born in Britain but arrived as a four year old boy. I suppose this gave me an outsider's perspective. I remember the austerity of the country back then. I remember the struggle with Thatcher, as the working class clashed with her vision of a ...
Hibiki Japanese Harmony Whiskey
It's always sad to say goodbye to somebody you love, and that includes the person who gave me the bottle in the first place. On a recent trip over, a friend gifted me a special presentation bottle of Suntory's Hibiki Japanese Harmony Master's Select. Not only was it a beautiful bottle on the outside but even more so on the inside. I have been a fan of Japanese whiskey for ...
Deezer – FLAC Lossless streaming music on demand [REVIEW]
![Deezer – FLAC Lossless streaming music on demand [REVIEW]](http://www.nomadz.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/deezer.png)
I admit it. I am snob when it comes to music quality. If I'm at someone else's house, their music system can sound just fine to me but, at home, no, only the best will do. I'm like the princess and pea. Something just isn't quite right. High fidelity is a very personal and subjective experience. Each time you upgrade an audio component, you train your ears to hear just a ...
Best Suncreams for your Face SPF50+
We asked around to compile of list of our friends' favourite sunscreens for the face. Most important, they shouldn't feel greasy, must last long without requiring frequent application, and smell nice (or be unscented). Shiseido Anessa Aquabooster 2016 Version Easy to slip in a purse or pocket (it's a flat container), this is one of the most trusted and most popular. It does ...
Smoothest Coffee in the world – Osaka Titanium Coated Filter [REVIEW]
![Smoothest Coffee in the world – Osaka Titanium Coated Filter [REVIEW]](http://www.nomadz.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/osaka-titanium-coffee-filter.jpg)
If you love coffee, you will love and appreciate the Osaka Titanium Coated Cone Dripper. The fine mesh allows water to slowly seep through the coffee grinds on the inside, to the outside, where it drips neatly down the central column and into your cup. The titanium coating may be overkill but it definitely prevents any flavour from the metal mesh from being transferred into the ...
