New and interesting gear we’ve discovered this month.

Toaks Manual Coffee Grinder $99.99 | 274g

For caffeine cravers who prefer the freshest possible brew, Toaks manual coffee grinder caters for both pour-over or AeroPress-style coffee. The aluminium body contains a ceramic conical burr grinder that is adjustable to four coarseness settings. The wooden handle has plenty of leverage and a smooth action for efficient grinding. It’s compact when packed down, but is best suited to car campers or trips where weight isn’t a concern. 

Big Agnes Campmeister Deluxe Mat $579.99 | 907g 

If you find typical lightweight air-chamber mats lack comfort, Big Agnes’ latest luxury offering provides a well-priced and packable option. The 11cm-thick chambers and a super-quiet quilted 40D stretch top provide a plush and restful surface, while its 70D base provides durability. Generous dimensions (64x183cm) means your arms won’t hang off the sides, and you’ll sleep warmly with the PrimaLoft Silver insulation’s impressive R7 rating . It’s a high-comfort mat for year-round car camping, and is light and packable enough for backcountry trips too.
