It is just the right size for my wild fermented bread and for her whole wheat. The bread is beautifully crusty and has a perfect crumb – light and soft for BOTH of these usually heavy breads.

Promising review: "The Aristotle frames have been amazing so far. I went with the blue light filter prescription frames, for both form and function, they're the best glasses I've ever had. I work in an office most of the day with lots of screen time and my eyes feel a bit better at the end of the day than usual. I've switched from wearing contacts most of the time to the Aristotles. I have received lots of compliments on them as well and I happily recommend Bohten to curious folks. Honestly, the customer service has always been extremely helpful and flexible with my needs (such as needing a shipping address change because I was moving). Not to mention the business is sustainable and owned by good people. Highly recommend!" —Ian R.

They are the perfect size for storing leftovers that I can either take for lunch the next day or warm up and split between me and my husband.

"If you're a pet owner, listen up! I was fearful to make such an investment when I had literally just adopted two kittens (one of the little devils is pictured above) but it couldn't be a better pick. Our first week with the couch, they seriously scratched up one of the cushions and I was *this* close to a breakdown. Flash forward a week, though, and after sitting on the couch like usual, all of the scratches were buffed out and no marks were left behind!! That is seriously the single best thing about this couch.
