Bugatti Have a Futuristic Funky Kettle and Call it Vera

by Jay Garrett on September 11, 2009

Bugatti VeraI love a good brew, I love brands with heritage and I also love things that are over-designed.

Imagine if I could get all of the above in one kitchen item…..

….and I can!

It comes in the form of a kettle from none other than Bugatti!

Casa Bugatti’s Vera has a self-timer so you can get your tea bang on 11am and there’s all manner of cleverness in that handle.

It tells the time, allows you to program the temperature that the water will be heated (between 45c and 100c) as well as showing you the current water temp.

The great design, funky colours (see gallery below) and high tech water heating comes in at £185 and I so want one!

But of all the names to call it………. I can’t help but think of a certain Mrs Duckworth when I see the name Vera.

Tea Shark – Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Brew

by Jay Garrett on February 3, 2009

tea-sharkNot many people see tea as a man’s drink.

I love tea. So there.  I said it.

Perhaps it’s the 20 or so years I lived in Yorksshire or perhaps I just love the taste.

Whether it’s Green, Black, Gun Powder, Lady or Earl Grey, Breakfast or Assam – tea is refreshing and good for you.

If you’re still not sure about being seen drinking tea how about infusing the leaves via the Tea Shark.

Even though I’m a proud tea-swigger I’d still buy a Sharkie or two – but it’s just a concept for the time being.
