Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Monday, March 12, 2018 6 6 2018 Best of Show aerolatte: Unleash Your Inner Barista with New Launch Cappuccino Artist aerolatte ® – the incredibly frothy coffee company – is full of beans announcing the launch of one of three new products, the cappuccino artist. Be ready to unleash your inner barista with top tips on getting the best results from your cappuccino art. Eighteen years ago, Alan and Gary, Founders of aerolatte, were in search of the best solution for making perfect frothy milk at home. As true coffee lovers, Alan and Gary have expanded the range considerably and now it includes innovative equipment and accessories to brew and present coffee in a variety of ways. After the positive feedback received from customers for their cap- puccino stencil set and shaker tin, Alan and Gary decided to combine the two products to design an innovative acces- sory to create patterns on your frothy coffee, leading to the creation of the cappuccino artist. aerolatte's aim is, ''to help the con- sumer achieve professional results at home, simply and easily.'' True to its word, creating cappuccino art has never been easier. Fill the holder with choco- late, cinnamon or powder of your choice, choose from six professional designs, simply clip the stencil on top, invert and twist. To get the best results from your cappuccino artist, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Did you know, that the best time to add stencil art to your frothy milk is right after the milk has been added to the mug? This is when the milk is most compact, allowing you to get the clearest pattern. Placing the stencil as closely as you can above your drink will also help you achieve a neat design. For a product demonstration, head over to aerolatte's booth #S1559 or check out the demo video on YouTube @aerolatteTV. The team would love to meet you at the show. Pop by the stand and they'll be sure to have a hot mug of coffee waiting for you. aerolatte would love it if you kept in touch.

Toockies Focused on True Sustainability An interview with Anna Marie Stauss, Founder and Owner, Toockies © Brand, Sinko Corporation. KNSD: What is 'Toockies'? AS: Toockies is an important disruptor in the household cleaning, beauty and housewares categories. We are re-launch- ing the historic, global tradition of cotton and jute hand crochet as highly effective, sustainable alternatives. What's old (the art of crochet) is truly green! Our handmade products replace plastic and petrochemical sponges, scrubbers, paper towels, bath and beauty scrubbers, mitts and exfo- liators, and other housewares. KNSD: What demographic does Toockies target? AS: The stats point to a changing culture! A Unilever study states 33 percent of consumers are looking for products that make an environmental and social impact. Sixty-six percent of consumers (and a higher rate – 73 percent of millen- nials) are willing to spend more on a product if it is sustainable. KNSD: Why did you create the products? AS: We are addressing true sustainability. Our products address the environmental impact of common throw-away, plastic, petrochemical household and beauty tools on oceans, landfills and more. Second, we make an important social impact because our products are handmade by women in India. These are desperate stories of poverty: women's fair pay, flexible hours for mothers and support for local economies. We have been Fair Trade Federation members for seven years. KNSD: It is difficult to create and launch a category disruptor in the competitive household products category. How are you driven? AS: In my childhood in the Azores and on my travels, I have seen extreme poverty. I decided to do something. I realized there was no clearly defined answer, but the best solutions are to provide an opportu- nity to earn income and life-affirming work. At the same time, adjusting one's lifestyle and awareness in such a way to reduce waste is truly on-trend. KNSD: What is the controversy? AS: Each week, millions of com- mercial sponges, paper towels and plastic scrubbers, bath scrubbies and exfoliators, etc. are thrown out – even by enthusiastic, environmentally con- scious consumers. Even so-called natural products are often half synthetic and half real sponge. These end up in landfills and oceans by the millions of tons! Sadly, many consumers have not looked past convenience to see the problem. I was one of those people, so I understand! KNSD: How do Toockies compare to conventional or natural products? AS: Sponges, plastic scrubbies and paper towels disintegrate with limited use, leaving product debris behind. Because we use special 100 percent cotton fiber and specific ribbing, our products remain durable and highly effective, making it the most economical option available! Toockies are 100 percent biodegrad- able and can be re-purposed for many things (potting mesh, trashcan and shoe deodorizers, etc). Petrochemical and plastic products cannot be sustainably reused. In the case of paper towels, they are often not recycled, and the amount used per family is staggering. Toockies, unlike other products, can be effectively sanitized by simply machine washing and tumble drying or boiled in water. Microwaves and dish- washers have been proven to be ineffec- tive in eliminating grime and harmful bacteria in conventional products. For more information, visit www .toockies.com.
