When the mercury rises, so do tensions at home, in the office and on the go. Keep a cool head by keeping the rest of you cool with these handy gadgets this summer.
Evapolar Personal Microclimate – Office temperature already rising? Tired of always begging colleagues to open the windows? Don’t suffer through another sweltering office summer; Evapolar sits right on your desk to provide your own private microclimate while you’re hard at work. Rather than drying out the air in order to cool it (like typical AC units), Evapolar actually emits water vapour, effectively humidifying the air as it cools it. It also runs on low energy (you can power it with a USB battery pack). The only drawback? Due to its humidifying process, it only works in relatively dry environments where the humidity doesn’t exceed 70%.

Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker – The desire for an energising cup of joe doesn’t necessarily wane when the mercury rises. If it’s hot out and you still need your fix, go for cold brew coffee – not only is it refreshing, but it’s also less acidic than hot brews, resulting in a sweeter, more mellow flavour. The Takeya cold brew maker works through the night to ensure you have a refreshing cuppa first thing in the morning. Simply fill the basket with coffee grounds, refrigerate overnight, then add more water to adjust the strength of your brew. What’s more, one brewing process yields several cups of joe, and can be kept for up to two weeks in the airtight brewing container.
