KitchenAid Artisan Siphon Coffee Maker
Harts Price: £159.00
Siphon brewing is probably the most complicated way of making coffee, so it has
attracted coffee nerds seeking the secrets of its gravity defying vacuum. Indeed,
even this fully electric version from KitchenAid wouldn’t look out of place in a
lab. However, it’s simple to use, with the heated water in the bottom vessel being
forced through a siphon into the brewing unit steeping the ground coffee. When
the resulting vacuum is released, the coffee cascades spectacularly back down
into the carafe in a piece of kitchen theatre that you’ll want to show off to all
visitors. The smooth coffee that results will get appreciative applause too.

Boska Cheese Curler Geneva
Harts Price: £30.00
As if cheese and chocolate weren’t addictive enough, this
fiendish curling device shaves them into paper thin rosettes
that are practically inhalable. Indeed, the Swiss Tête de Moines
cheese you use with the Curler is said to develop odour and
flavour from being exposed to oxygen. It’s a process so pleasing
that you and your guests could easily shave your way through
a couple of cheese wheels without pausing for breath and then
start on the chocolate for dessert.
Rocknife 4 Piece Ceramic
Knife Set Black
Harts Price: £94.95
These make traditional knives look
boring. Who needs shiny silver metal
blades when you can have zirconium
oxide ceramic with the same
chequered pattern as a pair of chef’s
trousers? This set has 3, 4, 5 and 6
inch knives, all with super sharp
ceramic blades. And the knife
block comes for free.
Nordic Ware Fleur De Lis Bundt Pan
Harts Price: £35.99
Keep this to yourself but we’re not sure we
could have picked out a Bundt pan before
Bake-Off. These days it feels like a baking
essential. This one is made by the very
company who invented them in the first place
and comes with a floral design that will create
a dessert fit for royalty.
Full Circle Wherever Water
Glass Water Bottle
Harts Price: £17.95
Out-health everyone down the gym with
this bottle, which lets you squeeze some
fresh citrus juice into your water.
Much better than shop bought flavoured
waters where the active ingredient is
usually sugar.
