11. AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:09:48 +0000

The AeroPress is an entirely new way to make coffee, American style or Espresso style for use in lattes, cappucinos and other espresso based drinks. AeroPress brews simply delicious coffee, 1-4 cups per pressing. Ideal water temperature and faster brewing yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness. Other brewing processes use near boiling water and long exposure to coffee grounds. Quickly brew a variety of coffee drinks including an Americano or an espresso-style shot for use in lattes or cappuccinos. Its total-immersion system permits extraction at a moderate temperature and a short brew time. Water and grounds are mixed together for 10 seconds, then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a micro-filter in just 20 seconds, which avoids the bitterness of long processes such as drip brewing. The air pressure also gently squeezes the last goodness from the grounds, further enriching the flavor. The total brewing time of only 30 seconds results in an exceptionally smooth brew.

admin — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:58:23 +0000

An inexpensive alternative to a professional stainless-steel mandoline, this device makes it possible to quickly, uniformly, and safely slice and julienne vegetables and fruits. It also shreds cabbage and neatly dices potatoes, tomatoes, and onions. For safety, a holder firmly grips food with stainless-steel prongs so fingers are protected from the German surgical-steel blades, and the three inserts accompanying the device lock in position. The inserts act as a guide for slicing against the V-frame's knife that reverses to create slices either 1/4-inch or 1/16-inch thick and two julienne inserts for creating 1/8-inch or 3/8-inch strips. For storage, the V-frame, all three inserts, and the safety holder fit into a caddy that can stand upright on the counter, lie flat in a drawer, or hang on the wall. Made of rugged plastic, the device measures 15 inches long and 6 inches wide when assembled for storage. --Fred Brack

Washing and drying leafy vegetables has never been simpler or more fun than with this gadget. One hand is all you need to press the soft, cushioned knob to start the spinning; when the built-in brake is applied and the job is done, the basket and bowl can be taken apart and used separately. The knob locks down for easy storage, and the spinner is dishwasher-safe. Use this tool with lettuce, raw spinach, broad-leafed herbs, and greens--they end up clean and oh-so-dry, and the drier your leaves, the better salad dressings will adhere and the less mushy your sandwich bread will become. Puddles at the bottom of your salad bowl disappear... Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

A flip top lid makes refills easy, and an electronic indicator ensures that you know when to change the filter. Purified water is a powerful way to keep your whole body revitalized and uplifted. All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters. Filtration System Reduces Harmful ContaminantsWith the Aqualux Water Pitcher, you and your family can enjoy clean, better-tasting water straight from the tap. The pitcher's included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to a special sponge-like filtration system. The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water. All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters. Filter Change Indicator Ensures Healthier, Great-Tasting WaterChanging your filter regularly ensures that you will always have clear, healthful, great-tasting water. The Electronic Filter Change Indicator makes it easy to know when it is time to replace your filter. Every two weeks an indicator bar will disappear from your pitcher's electronic display. After two months, when all the bars have disappeared, an arrow will flash at the top of the display reminding you to change your filter. Reset your filter change indicator each time you replace your filter to make sure your water is always healthier and great tasting. Smart Design Features Make Water Filtration EasyThe Aqualux Water Pitcher is built smart to make water filtration easy. The pitcher cover has a flip top so that you do not need to remove the entire lid to refill the pitcher. A contoured, soft-grip handle makes the pitcher comfortable and easy to lift and pour. Stylish and slim, the Aqualux is designed to fit into your refrigerator door so you'll always have plenty of cold, filtered water on hand. Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up to 48 ounces of water, enough for six eight-ounce glasses, making the Aqualux a practical choice for your family.
