I have owned and used a Bamix stick blender for nearly 25 years, and it's still going strong! Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, the Bamix de Luxe stick blender (aka immersion blender or wand blender) is undoubtedly the most successful product of its kind with over 7 million units sold in all five continents. Use the hand-held Bamix stick blender for practically any kitchen food processing task, including mixing, chopping, crushing, blending, puréeing, whisking, whipping, stirring, grating, and grinding. The Bamix stick blender is simple to use, and its compact size makes it convenient to store on your countertop for use at any time. To operate the Bamix, select an attachment, immerse the wand, and engage the pulse switch with one finger. Operation is quiet and vibration free, and within seconds, you have a creamy sauce, whipped egg whites, homemade mayonnaise, chopped vegetables, crushed ice, foamy milk shake, or fruit purée. Price just under $150, the Bamix is available in the traditional white color, red, black, or silver.

Caffè Chicco d'Oro
Number One Coffee in Switzerland!
Switzerland is known for its high standards in coffee and coffee machines (home of the superautomatic coffee machine), and Chicco d'Oro is the number on coffee sold there. Caffè Chicco d'Oro is blended, roasted, and packed a very modern coffee plant located in the Switzerland's southern-most canton of Ticino, a scenic region of deep lakes, palm trees, and soaring snow-capped Alps. Blended from highest-quality 100% Arabica beans from Central America, Chicco d'Oro is roasted to a golden color, has full body, and is rich flavor and aroma. Caffè Chicco d'Oro is ideal for a superautomatic coffee machine and is equally delicious when brewed in an espresso machine or drip coffeemaker. Chicco d'Oro is available in the USA through 125West.com. Packed in 250g (8.8oz) and 1000g (2.2 lb) long-life, nitrogen-flushed bags, it ships right away to your home or office.
History of Coffee
The word "coffee" originates from the word "QAHWA" that in Arabic refers to every vegetable drink; coffee, in fact, was called "Arabia’s wine". Legends and tales lead us into the fascinating world of coffee’s origins. Among these is interesting the one that tells us about Angel Gabriel’s use of coffee to cure the prophet Mahomet. Among the numerous fables, there is a particular one: some Ethiopian monks noticed, in 850 A.D., coffee berries after their goats ate them. The monks picked the berries and obtained a decoction which kept them awake during their night-prayers. Coffee successfully spread from Ethiopia into Arabia as far as the whole zone of near Orient and of Mediterranean sea and with the drink came all the tools too, necessary for its preparation. The success of this phenomenon is proved by bas-relieves too, present in some tombs, made by bedouin families. This demonstrates the assimilation in every day life. In XVI Century coffee reached Constantinople where the first coffee shop was opened. Europeans discovered coffee many years later after already importing cacao and tea. In Vienna, around the year 1683, following the Turkish siege’s end, the first coffee house was built. But we have to wait for the years after Napoleon’s continental blockade to see the successfully diffusion of coffee in western Europe.
