Tea
	6-cup Tea Press	Bodum Assam	After using many other type of tea pots over the years I settled on this excellent Bodum Tea Press, which I have used since the beginning of 2003. It works great and makes leaf tea no hassle! Highly recommended!
Music
	Headphones	Sony MDR-V600	Indestructible headphones. They are a little bass-heavy, but are used by many musicians and road engineers.
Tuners
	Guitar Tuner	Sabine AX-2000	Contact Auto Tuner - works great! Stick it on your guitar - right next to the neck. I have been using a handful of them since 1997. In 1997 we had three guitar players and tuning became even more important.
Cooking
	Nonstick Cookware	Scanpan	Best nonstick pans.
	Chef's Knife	Henckels Pro S 10" Knife	I bought one of these 20 years ago and it is still going strong! I use it daily! It even survived the dishwasher several times!
