CUPPA JOE

Perk up, road warrior coffee-lovers. The Barista Quattro ($85), created by the java-friendly folks at Starbucks, is a mini version of the popular Barista Aroma and comes complete with a four-cup thermal-insulated carafe, easy-to-open lid, and soft-grip handle. If you gotta have your joe on the go, this is the product for you.
