Patrick Jouin and chef Alain Ducasse designed this pot for Alessi to cook pasta like risotto. Simply add pasta and water, and the pasta cooks by absorbing the liquid. No more pre-boiling or straining. Alessi pasta pot, $315 (with spoon, lid and trivet) through Zidea Design.

Your daily fix just got better
This little gadget makes some of the best espresso style coffee I have tasted. It is easy to use (very similar to the workings of a French press), easy to clean, and takes up virtually no counter space. The total brewing time of only 30 seconds reduces acidity in the grounds and results in an exceptionally smooth robust taste. Pack this little gizmo when you travel or head to the cottage and you’ll never taste a bad cup of coffee again. AeroPress Coffee System $39.95
