If your coffee maker is talking to you in the morning, it means one of two things: one, it’s long past time to switch to decaf, or two, you have a Hammacher Schlemmer voice interactive coffee maker.
This coffee maker will actually ASK you questions. Questions like “Would you like to set the clock or set the coffee brewing time?”, and you’ll respond in kind, with simple commands like “Set the coffee brewing time.” If you want the coffee maker to start talking, just press the “talk” button and the little coffee chatterbox will start up.
Meanwhile, on the coffee maker side of the equation, it includes a reusable, dishwasher-safe plastic filter and brews up to ten cups in a detachable carafe that you can leave on the maker to stay warm.
Just in case your early morning instructions to the coffee maker sound less like commands and more like popular Klingon love ballads, you can also operate the device manually.

If you’ve got a hundred and thirty bucks to drop and you’re getting just so gosh darn sick and tired of people always noticing that you’re carrying a camera around, then you may be interested to hear about the Hammacher Schlemmer pen camera, a small, sneaky little spy cam built into a pen.
It records video from up to fifty feet away and can record in 6y40 x 480 resolution, which isn’t half bad for a tiny little pen camera. Also, it has onboard internal memory sufficient to hold two and a half hours of video.
The best part is the price–you can live out all your James Bond fantasies now for just a measly hundred and thirty bucks, like I said above. And just in case you were wondering, yes, the pen function does actually work.
And you can even buy them direct from the manufacturer, and there’s never been anything wrong with that.
