Coca-Cola M5
(25 July 2005) - In an inspired change of pace from their constant re-tinkering of flavors and additives, Coca-Cola has instead chosen to focus on an evolution of their design. The soft drink giant recently comissioned five talented young design groups from five continents to rethink their packaging with an eye towards hip urban flair. The Designers Republic (U.K.), Lobo (Brazil), MK12 (U.S.A.), Rex & Tennant McKay (South...

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...

Fran's Smoked Salt Caramels
(15 July 2005) - I'm a fan of all things that mix sweet and salty, so when I first tasted the rising confectionary trend combining chocolate, sea salt, and caramel, I was hooked. Fran's Chocolates, a company based out of Seattle, just kicked it up a notch with their introduction of a version that utilizes smoked Welsh sea salt. Sweet and complex, the savory punch perfectly compliments the...

Cocoa Coal
(13 July 2005) - I'm really excited that more and more companies are creating "adult" food products that hit the sweet spot without pummeling you with extra sugar, HFCS, additives and preservatives; companies like GuS, and Fizzy Lizzy come to mind. Add to this growing cateogory my new favorite popcorn snack, Cocoa Coal from LesserEvil. Once you get beyond the name and the packaging you'll discover popcorn that...

SF Ferry Building's Thursday Night Market
(29 June 2005) - San Francisco's Ferry Building Marketplace is a compendium of gourmet food vendors, restaurants, and retail naturally evolved from the longstanding farmer's market that was held in the Embarcadero locale. If you find yourself downtown, the soaring ceilings leftover from the building's past as a terminal for transbay ferries make for a great destination to shop European-style or to lunch on some of California's finest...

Weber One-Touch Gold Grill
(19 June 2005) - Although we here at Cool Hunting realize that stereotypes are so not cool, we also understand that sometimes they exist for a reason. My dad loves to grill, my friends' dads love to grill, and chances are yours does too. So, in observance of Father's Day 2005 (here in the US), we pay homage to one of the classic designs of the 20th century, one...

CoffeeGo go going gone
(17 June 2005) - A friend recently introduced me to these tasty coffee candies that advertise themselves as an alternative "when you don't have time for coffee." These old school hard candies are a welcome addition to the candy drawer and at about $1 a box, a welcome relief from a $4 cup of coffee. Available in regular and cappuccino flavor. Ed. Note: they have 6mg of caffeine...

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...

Green Tomato Jam
(15 June 2005) - I was intrigued by the concept, and am now a fan: Green Tomato Jam. An inspired balance of flavors and texture, and one of several fascinating jams made by L'Epicurean in France. A few to note: Gingerbread Clementine, Arbutus Berry, Sweet Potato, Melon with Vanilla Pod, Watermelon and Orange and Strawberry Champagne. ...

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...

Honey I'm Home
(09 June 2005) - This glass jar with a built-in spoon top is a great way to store and serve honey. I love its simple and effective design and low maintenance. It's €18.23 and available online from Vinçon, one of my favorite stores in Spain. ...

She's recently opened her own place, made her desserts more accessible (cookies are under a buck, a plate of warm doughnuts $5) and shown us that she has great flair for food too. Heading to Chicago?

Garden in a Bag
(02 June 2005) - About this time of year green thumb urbanites are struggling to find corners of land, or more realistically window sill space, to grow a few little herbs or vegetables. Garden in a Bag, available at Wishing Fish, makes the process a bit smoother by including all the necessary elements to grow various herbs and even some vegetables. For $8 per bag you can get...

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...

Ben & Jerry's Euphori Lock
(31 May 2005) - There's nothing worse than looking forward all day to the ice cream in the freezer at home, only to discover that someone else has eaten your Chunky Monkey, or that you ate it all last night, despite the two spoon rule. Fortunately the genious minds at Ben & Jerry's have developed a Euphori Lock that secures your pint from your loved ones. On a...

Martin's Pretzels
(20 May 2005) - It's no secret that sometimes the simplest of foods offer the most pleasure, and anything made by hand with love and a little obsession adds another dimension. Martin's Pretzels are handmade in Pennsylvania and are simply the best you're likely to find. Anywhere. I've been obsessed with them for years. Their site provides great history of the pretzel, photos and video of the kitchen,...

Fish sticks are back...
(18 May 2005) - Seeing this fish stick pan at ICFF brought me back to second grade, when pretty much the only food I would eat was fish sticks (fortunately I've grown out of that phase). The clever designers at Triebwerk Design in Munich were playing around and came up with this clever pan. While intended more as an object to provoke dialogue—do we really need all of...

Plates And Dishes: The Foods And Faces Of The American Diner
(12 May 2005) - Plates and Dishes is a new photographic journal by Stephan Schacher that captures the food and personalities of American diner culture. The portraits are fresh and the colors subdued, and it's easy to live vicariously through Schacher's journey across America and parts of Canada as he explores the country through its diner food and the people who serve it. ...

Store Wars
(09 May 2005) - Remember the Store Wars, a short film by Free Range Graphics for the Organic Trade Association, spreads the word of the pro-organic movement in a humorous and timely manner. It's hard not to love TofuD2, Ham Solo and Chewbroccoli (my favorite). ...

Licorice Piglets
(20 April 2005) - Nothing says I love you quite like a box of piglet shaped licorice... Route 29 Napa makes a variety of tasty licorice, but my favorite are the black and red licorice pieces shaped like piglets. The bags are a better deal, but the can (16 oz for $14) is a great gift. The Chewy Peps have a nice balance of texture and flavor and...
