Last month we brought you the story of Craighton Berman and his Manual Coffeemaker, a decidedly low-tech, Kickstarter-based project to help fund Berman's dream home coffee machine. The elegant, all-glass vessel works like other pour-over methods (pour hot water over grounds), but is designed to be something you might actually want to have on your counter at all times rather than something that looks like a porcelain kitchen funnel. Berman set his funding goal at an ambitious $100,000 and is nearly there. With just under two days to go, the Manual project still needs to raise an additional $10,000 to get funded. You can contribute to making Berman's vision a reality and find out more information on the project's page.
