Chocolate Vitale Hot Chocolate
(31 October 2005) - We had the opportunity to taste this new hot chocolate from Chocolate Vitale at an Ubercool event the other night. Inspired by the celebrated hot chocolate cafés in Paris and conceived by an American couple from Seattle, this mix is pure chocolate and does not include cocoa powder. Simply melt it in some hot milk and you are good to go. We were impressed...

Dazz-Ahh
(26 September 2005) - There's nothing new about simple syrup (sugar dissolved in hot water). Nor is there anything new about using it instead of sugar in an iced tea, iced coffee or lemonade (because it is much easier to mix with cold beverages). But this is the first time I've come across it in ready-to-use packets, sitting among the growing assortment of sugar, raw sugar, and their...

(10 August 2005) - Your favorite pint glass just got more useful. From Innermost comes a stylish and functional half-pint mug. Currently available only in the UK, the mug comes in white and black and has a twin wall so hot beverages (read: green tea or a vanilla latte) won’t burn your hands and cold beverages stay cool like they’re supposed to.

Steep Design
(21 July 2005) - "This is what happens when designers and connoisseurs meet for tea," says Gamila Design, creators of The Tea Stick. Touted as one of the most operative ways to brew a perfect cup, this stainless steel device beats out both paper tea bags and "pour-over" steeping systems in both ease of use and sleek sexiness. It's a simple mechanism with no breakable parts; scoop the...

Big Head Coasters
(20 July 2005) - j-me was founded by 2 brothers, Mark and Jamie who created these Big Head Coasters. They're stackable either laying down or standing up. A pack contains 4 coasters, 2 boys and 2 girls. I can't think of a more pleasant way to wake up than to pin one of those big headed boys or girls with my cup of tea. Serves them right for...

Metromint Water
(15 July 2005) - Metromint water is a great new addition to my fridge. Created by the husband and wife team of Rio Miura and Scott Lowe (who are also behind David Rio teas), Metromint is made with only two ingredients: pure water, and mint from Washington. The flavor is just right-- a notch or two above subtle, and way below intense. I've been bringing it to the...

Float Pilsner Flutes
(14 July 2005) - The new Float Pilsner Flute from Molo Design is an eye-catching way to enjoy your summer ale in style. Seemingly suspended in mid-air, beers and other potables are instantly transformed into conversation pieces as soon as they're poured. These glasses, individually handcrafted in the Czech Republic, are not only visually unique, but also functional: the design keeps condensation away from the bottom, making coasters...

Milk Jug Vase
(27 June 2005) - With his "Milk Jug Vase," Jatta Lavi has taken one of the most familiar domestic designs and hand-cast it in fine porcelain, thereby celebrating the classic form and expanding its function. The multipurpose carton, available on MoMa's online store, is a charming way to house floral arrangements or replace that run-of-the-mill carafe for milk, cream, or juice at breakfast time. ...

Our Cup Runneth Over
(23 June 2005) - It's true. The bounty never stops flowing here at Cool Hunting. These glasses showed up at CH HQ the other day. We laughed. We cried. Then we decided they were actually kinda great. The Glass Fox are purveyors of pub-style glassware who specialize in personalized mugs, pitchers and pint glasses. Just choose from one of Fox’s many motifs-- “Big Buck,” “All American” and “Wolf...

Juicy Water
(17 June 2005) - Because of Cool Hunting's unusually high Juicy Water by Innocent Drinks. The health-focused U.K. company is taking aim at the shortcomings of most juice drinks: they're either packed with preservatives or simply far too sweet. Innocent's solution is to start with spring water (about 70% of the mix) and add only real fruit and a dash of sugar. The result is a light and...

Bite the Bulleit
(16 June 2005) - We don't want you to think that we at Cool Hunting sit around drinking all the time (having just posted Pimm's Cup, another of our favorite drinks) but it was so hot and humid last weekend that all I could think of was enjoying a Mint Julep. I found a great recipe (I subbed honey for the sugar) at the Bulleit Bourbon site, and...

Refined Refreshment
(13 June 2005) - Every year, within certain social circles, seasonal consumption patterns invariably emerge, lending a discrete, however intangible, identity to a fleeting moment in time. This is never truer than in the ever-idyllic summertime, when spirits (both human and liquid) run free with the annual tacit promise of carefree living and fond memories. Our potables, alongside our foods, songs and dress, will always help to define...

Nespresso Romeo
(01 June 2005) - Shakespeare's influence continues to impress me. Imagine Juliet (as a Nespresso pod of coffee) standing on her balcony, calling out to her beloved (coffee cup?). Such is the inspiration for the hip design of Nespresso's newest high end machine. Simply pop a Nespresso pod with your preferred roast in the balcony, select the type of espresso/coffee you're in the mood for, and within a...

Stanley Vacuum Bottle: Pastel Color for Spring
(13 April 2005) - Vacuum Bottle. In fact, the company had women in mind when they revamped its classic half-quart stainless steel canister. Stanley released a new version, updating the almost-century-old thermos by streamlining the vacuum seal, widening the opening for easy drinking and adding ice cubes and introducing three new colors to join the classic green – all pastels: pink, light blue and violet. Now soccer moms...

Delonghi Magnifica EAM3500
(12 April 2005) - I know, I know, you'd like to make your own cappucino in the morning, but it gets a bit complicated and messy, and we all like to support the non-chain coffee shop in the hood anyway. But what if you could put some fresh coffee beans into your coffee machine. And a little water and milk. And press a button. And not only do...

Magppie Bottle Opener
(01 April 2005) - Karim Rashid-designed bottle opener from Magppie (yes, it has two Ps). Sure, it looks like a space-aged Weeble or Gloop and Gleep from the Herculoids, but this elegant device does a lot more than worry about falling down. Its ergonomic design sits comfortably in your hand, while the splash of orange in the groove adds just enough color to give this piece a hip...

Have Lunch in Style
(30 March 2005) - Built NY put out a great wine carrying bag (I have the two bottle ByoBag and I absolutely love it). This year, they may have topped their design with two new products: a six-pack carrying bag and a lunch bag. All of their products are made out of neoprene, so food or beverages stay hot or cold. In addition to acting as an insulator,...

Sorapot
(30 March 2005) - Tea is a very ritualistic pleasure. I still refuse to buy those efficient electric kettles because the process of setting the kettle to boil and the impending urgent whistle are aspects of tea consumption that set my day in motion. Joey Roth's Sorapot embraces the ritualistic aspects of tea drinking with its clear container for viewing the tea leaves as they seep into the...

128 Tea Mugs
(24 January 2005) - Onkar Singh Kular has designed something to help the host with a mean perfectionist streak. Each of the 128 tea mugs is a Pantone shade of brown, which allows people to pick out the mug that matches the way they take their tea. Depending on which one they pick, the host with the most can judge how much milk to put in. Domestic goddess made...

Starck Beer Bottles
(17 January 2005) - Continuing his crusade to touch every product segment imaginable, Philippe Starck has done a package redesign for the 340 year old French brewery, Brasseries Kronenbourg. The fluted glass bottle, drinking glass and screw top will no doubt be released in limited numbers to increase desirability. Starck's goal was to highlight the noble nature of beer, "La bière, c'est du pain liquide, comme le disent...

Dunk Mug
(16 December 2004) - Who doesn't love a little biscuit to dunk in his coffee? Dominic Skinner must because he designed this mug to hold them neatly inside the bottom. He was even smart enough to make right and left handed versions so there's no worry of losing your cookies while taking a sip. £14 at Mocha (sold out until January) via Urban Spy ...

USB Cafe Pad
(15 December 2004) - Not being able to read Japanese I can only make assumptions based on the photos. It sure looks like the Cafe Pad is a USB powered cup warmer. I think this thing made it's rounds on the gadget blogs over a year ago, but it's still an unnecessary yet exciting mobile accessory. ...

ZICO Coconut Water
(27 August 2004) - ZICO brings it to you first. Coconut water is better than regular water because it has five essential electrolytes, more potassium than a banana, low acidity, no fat, no sugar added, and no cholesterol-- and it's yummy. Low carb crazies beware, there are about 15g of sugar in an 11oz serving. It's natural sugar, mind you, not the evil refined stuff. ...
