The problem was we had a large one from another company that wouldn't quite make enough coffee for both our consumption which caused a second pot to have to be made. I searched for and found this large 59oz french press and bought it. We have been surprised and elated at the press doing a fantastic job. Not only do we make less than the total press capacity, but we have the option to make more than we usually make if we need to (like a rough night!) Also the press seems to keep the coffee a lot hotter while it is brewing....this was noticeable on the first day we used it! We experienced NO GROUNDS in the coffee and the press cleaned up easily and completely! We love this french press. The only problem is that we didn't buy it SOONER!" —Robert C.

    Promising review: "This was purchased for me as a Christmas gift from a coworker. I only recently started using it, as I've been dealing with some troubles in my life. I don't know what it is, but even if I repeat some of the same stuff...getting this done in the mornings (or sometimes at night if I don't make the time in the mornings) has made such a tremendous difference in my attitude toward myself and to others. So much so, that several people have taken notice. I have since purchased a couple of copies for friends who are also dealing with troubles in their lives. I highly recommend it. Even if you aren't dealing with any issues in life, it's such a help for clearing your head before starting your day." —Sumo

    32. And a simple yet revolutionary habit calendarto help them stay on track with their goals. Whether it's fitness, mindfulness, or any daily routine, this tool will keep them motivated and accountable in the most organized and satisfying way.

    This bestselling wonder is by Free Period Press, a queer- and woman-owned business that makes adorable stickers and paper goods! It's also made from recycled paper to help you achieve your resolution of living more sustainably. There's even an activity at the beginning to help you brainstorm habits to track, and each month starts with a themed page (for example, "sleep," "gratitude," and "finances") with some words of wisdom and a suggested habit to try.

    Promising review: "I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I've always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I'd been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some 'homework' pages at the beginning to help you focus in on your goals, but mostly it's the cleanness and ready-to-go nature of the monthly calendar pages that have worked for me. It's helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus so I'm not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend. Another friend saw me using it and also made a purchase. I'm really happy I made the leap." —Flight of Stars
