Made in Sweden, the Ankarsrum is the aspirational choice in stand mixers – easier to use, more efficient, more versatile and quieter. Its unique design simulates kneading by hand, with a rotating bowl rather than something rotating in a bowl. Spectacular baked goods are just the beginning: it is designed for whisking, mixing, kneading, pasta making, blending, pressing, grinding, shredding, sausage stuffing and straining, with over 15 additional attachments available.
Elevate the cooking experience with the Fissler Pure-Profi Collection of 18/10 stainless steel cookware, made in Germany. The Cookstar all-stove base performs on all stovetops, including induction, is ovenproof up to 450°F, and has large stay-cool ergonomic handles and extra wide pouring rim. Laser-etched measurement markings inside pans show quarts and liters. The look is striking, combining polished and matte features, with a subtle dot design that adds personality.
Ensure perfectly prepared meat, poultry and fish using the CDN Waterproof Folding Thermocouple Thermometer (TCTW572). NSF certified to professional standards, it offers a fast 2-3 second response, a 1.5 mm thin tip for sliding easily into the thickest part of food and one-button calibration. The backlit display rotates in four directions, so it’s always easy to read.
Available in beautiful Nordic White, the JURA ENA 8 brews 10 different coffee specialties at the touch of a button – always freshly ground, not capsuled. Small, stunning and simple, it features Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.®) to optimize aroma, and fine foam technology to create airy, feather-like milk foam for cappuccino and more. The striking, compact design includes a cylindrical water tank inspired by premium crystal carafes.

There are four settings to choose from – cold froth, hot froth, hot milk or hot chocolate – for a variety of options including flavored steamers, matcha latte, hot apple cider and iced fruit lattes.
