Shiny & Sharp
GADGETS
Blend, grate, filter and pull espressos with the coolest new kitchen kit…
Vitamix Pro 750
Professional Series Blender
Harts Price: £650.00
Here’s a blender that’s far too
stylish to ever blend in. You will
want to show off this copper
version of the elite model in the
already-pretty-premium Vitamix
range of blenders. A commercial-
grade motor drives laser-cut
stainless steel blades on a
pulverising path throughout fruit,
veg and ice. One of its neatest
tricks is heating through friction
alone, so you can make soups
steaming hot just by blending
them. It has four preprogrammed
settings for smoothies, hot soups,
frozen desserts and purées as well
as a self-cleaning mode which will
get the shatterproof jug back to
pristine in 60 seconds. A seven-
year guarantee confirms this is
a serious bit of kit, as happy in
a busy smoothie bar as on your
counter top.

Black + Blum Eau Carafe Charcoal Filter Water Jug
Harts Price: £ 34.96
A simple way to make your water taste great. This
elegant carafe has a stick of natural charcoal in and you’ll
be able to taste the difference within an hour. Each filter
lasts for six months and the hand blown glass has been
designed to fit the fridge door.
Magimix Nespresso Expert and
Milk Coffee Machine
Wacaco Minipresso
Portable Espresso Machine
Harts Price: £ 49.94
Campsite coffee used to be Nescafé
in a plastic bag. This gadget lets you
dispense espresso shots from proper
ground coffee with a few presses of
the pump and some hot water. It
packs away pleasingly like all the best
camping gear but would also work for
car journeys, commutes and in offices
with bad coffee.
Harts Price: £299.99
The noble Americano fuels this
very magazine to completion every
issue so it’s good to see this new
Nespresso machine embraces the
longer coffee with a 200ml cup
size. It also doesn’t forget the
milk and comes complete with
an automatic milk frother. A
Bluetooth connection means you
can schedule your coffees from
your phone and reorder capsules,
like owning a mini coffee shop.

Microplane Master Series Coarse Grater
Harts Price: £ 34.94
Much loved by pro chefs, Microplane started out as a woodworkers’ tool and they show their
heritage with a new range featuring American walnut handles. The ultra-sharp stainless steel
blades put this in a different league to most standard graters.
