We got an Un-Skru under-cabinet opener and it's pretty great
Also, if you haven't tried it, loose leaf pu'er tea really is excellent. I get mine in tins from the local Chinese grocery store, and the one time they didn't have any I drove around all afternoon trying to find a store that had some in stock.
