GENERAL NEWS KITCHENWARE NEWS & HOUSEWARES REVIEW n FEBRUARY 2018 n www.kitchenwarenews.com 12 CUTTING BOARD CLEANER FROM HOWARD PRODUCTS Now the entire cleaning, oiling and conditioning process can be done from products manufactured by the same company, which gives consumers confidence that all three products will work together perfectly. Some dish soaps can't penetrate wood as deeply as Howard Cutting Board Cleaner can, leaving unreached areas that can harbor harmful bacteria and contaminate food. Howard Cutting Board Cleaner effectively cleans and neutralizes odors, leaving wooden kitchen items smelling great, even on well-used cutting surfaces. Dish soaps aren't specifically designed to clean wooden cutting boards; they are designed to cover a broader array of kitchen items. Cutting Board Cleaner is specifically designed for wooden cutting boards and wooden kitchen items. Howard Cutting Board Cleaner does not contain bleach or any other harsh ingredients which can make wooden boards soft and gummy, reducing the life of the board. The minimum wholesale order is only four cases (six bottles each) for a total order of 24 bottles.

Barry's Restore It All 888.889.9876 www.barrysrestoreitall.com Featured at the 2018 CES, illy introduces a connected version of its Y5 single-serve espresso and coffee system that integrates the Amazon Dash Replenishment System (DRS). Now, the illy Y5 system tracks coffee capsule usage and automatically reorders more before the user runs out. illy, the world's most global coffee brand and leader in high-quality, sustainably sourced coffee, gave select CES insiders a first look at the Y5 DRS at the WIRED Café in the Venetian Hotel. A new companion "My illy Machine" app — available on Android and Apple iOS — enables remote management of the Y5 DRS system via mobile devices and operates multiple features. Through the intuitive app, coffee lovers can initiate brewing coffee and espresso, schedule daily brewing times, and customize cup volume and temperature. The system monitors capsule usage and automatically reorders f rom Amazon when capsule counts run low. The system also operates without the app. "Our new illy Y5 DRS system and app work seamlessly to empower coffee connoisseurs to enjoy all that illy has to offer, and automatically reorder capsules with Dash Replenishment," said Barry Sheldon, President and COO of illy North America. " The potent combination of remote operation, custom-tailored coffee and espresso options, and simple capsule reordering through Dash Replenishment means loving every cup without the worry of ever running out." Over its 85 years, illy has reimagined many aspects of coffee culture, starting from its introduction of the Illetta in 1935 — the precursor to the modern-day espresso machine which, for the first time, separated pressure and heating elements, and the first to use pressurization to protect coffee from excessive heat during preparation to preserve its vital aromas and flavors. illy capsules are powered by Iperespresso, a technological innovation protected by five patents that was conceived and developed for home espresso and drip coffee brewing at the illycaffè Research & Innovation labs in Trieste, Italy. Unlike the traditional preparation process in which espresso is brewed all at once through percolation, in each Iperespresso capsule, coffee is extracted in two phases: first infusion, then emulsion. This two-stage process ensures optimal extraction of the coffee's aromas, creating espresso with a smooth, full-bodied aroma and a rich, velvety, long-lasting crema. With Iperespresso, coffee never comes into contact with any part of the machine, for easy clean-up. The illy Y5 DRS coffee and espresso system is Bluetooth enabled, comes in black and is available for $299 on Amazon.com along with illy Iperespresso and drip coffee capsules at $19 (21-count tin of espresso capsules) and $16.50 (18-count cube pack of drip capsules), in medium roast, dark roast and decaffeinated varieties.
