Portland, Oregon, has long been famous for its DIY culture and fussy foodies. Bucket, a Portland-based design firm founded by Bryan Kappa and Rob Story, has found the perfect synthesis of Stumptown Coffee Roasters and Etsy with the
Portland Press, a clever French Press that attaches to an every day mason jar. Bucket devised the spout, press, and felt cozie. The rest is nothing you won't find in Aunt Ida's basement. Provided you haven't raided it already for your pickling projects, you hippie. Click through the slideshow for a look at the product and more from the Bucket boys.

"The story about french presses always breaking and then you're without a coffee maker, is something that we'd really like to express to people," says Kappa. "We really think this product, despite it's initial cost, solves a problem and saves people money in the long run." He and Story expect the press to cost $119.
