Those who know me, realize how much I rely on my beloved sigg mug to transport my beloved coffee to work on my bike each morning. It is indestructible (I’ve dropped it off the top of the car before), completely leak proof and keeps liquids warm… not just warm, hot…. for hours.

You don’t knead a machine to make great bread from scratch! Roll up your sleeves and get ready to make the best bread of your life!
