Dreamfarm's design for its Garject garlic press features a "Peel eject" button which shoots out the remaining garlic (and skin) from the gadget once it's been pressed.

It's a tea infuser. it's a coffee press pot. It's a tea infuser and a press pot.

The tea rod also features an interesting notched design that allows you to pull it back and lock it at the top of the pot to prevent oversteeping.
