Our Selections Of The Week

Last week marked some new releases and news and it’s our tradition to look back at it and bring you at least some of them. Make sure you don’t miss out on anything with Our Selections Of The Week segment.

1 – Tepui SkyCamp Tents

Here’s something new from Tepui – a durable rooftop tent for camping off the grounds.

Rooftop camping isn’t just for those who have a vehicle. Each SkyCamp Tent from Tepui comes with a wooden structure for mounting the tent and a built-in bench at the bottom. The area below the tent is great for keeping yourself protected from elements and enjoying a meal (don’t forget to pack mosquito repellent). Tents come in different sizes and a wooden ladder.

2 – Breville Oracle Touch Coffee Maker

A stainless steel espresso machine to begin your day with.

The main features of this coffee machine are those elements that make a perfect cup – automatic grinding, tamping, and dosing. Breville Oracle Touch also comes with porta-filter, low-pressure pre-infusion and precise temperature control. Coffee has a smooth silky foam and is ready in less than a minute. The touchscreen on the front is easy to use and allows you to make a cup according to your taste by choosing the coffee strength, milk texture, and temperature. Once you master a particular taste, the machine can remember it so you have the same coffee each time (it can memorize up to 8 specs).

3 – Ali: A Life

The biography of Muhammad Ali written by a New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Eig.

Jonathan Eig, a New York Times best-selling author, made the ultimate biography of Muhammad Ali, the most famous heavyweight boxer on the planet. The author had access to some of the most influential people in Ali’s life (his managers and three wives). The idea behind Ali: A Life was to tell Ali’s story that was never available in that form and in the complexity he deserves. While writing it, Eig conducted over 500 interviews. The most interesting part, he uncovered thousands of pages of FBI and Justice Department documents that were never seen before.
