Genius ideas to make home life easier
Café style coffee at home
This fuss-free, affordable new coffee machine from Bosch is perfect for coffee lovers on the hunt for barista-quality brews at home. The Styline filter coffee maker has the capacity to make a whopping 15 cups of coffee in one go and its clever Dual Heating system helps to keep your coffee pot warm, making it ideal for when you have a big group of guests over. An automatic aroma sensor, which adjusts brewing time to the number of cups required, plus an easy-fill water tank and an Easy Descale feature make this coffee machine simple to use and maintain. Available for £79 from bosch-home.co.uk
A clean sweep
Each time this SqueezyPeasy mop head is dunked in its bucket, dirt is cleverly removed while clean water coats and refreshes the mop head, so you can be assured you’re not spreading dirt or bacteria over your floors while you clean. It can then be easily dissembled and stored away in the bucket. £44.95 from amazon.co.uk
Wonder wellies
Ultralight yet robust and 100% waterproof thanks to their moulded outer, Leon Boots Co. Garden ankle boots are the comfiest and lightest weight wellies we’ve ever worn. The cosy inner liner is removable and machine washable too. Available in 5 colours, women’s size UK 3-8, £34.99 from lbcboots.com
Fur-friendly wash
Give your pooch a high-class scrub with this deliciously scented Digby dog wash, made from essential oils of lavender and mandarin. The ingredients are naturally antibacterial, so your dog will have a deep clean without the need for harsh chemicals that can strip important natural oils from their fur. It’s good for your hands too! Try out a 50ml bottle for £4 at bramleyproducts.co.uk
