Francis Francis X3 Espresso Coffee Machine - Ever since Francis Francis was first founded in Italy by Francesco Illy in 1994, it has produced espresso machines of the very highest quality to this present day. The X3 is certainly no exception.

It was designed for people with very little kitchen space and thanks to its vibrant, energetic shapes and colours, the X3 is never going to go out of fashion. Francis Francis allows the espresso enthusiast to step away from the traditional and less imaginative espresso machine designs and look towards machines that are on the cutting edge of innovation and modern technology.

With beauty also comes a well designed and high quality espresso machine. Take a step back and imagine the X3 quietly sitting on your kitchen counter smiling back at you every time you look at it. Your friends and family will be amazed at how stunning the machine looks. Just wait until they try one of the coffees from it!

Each Francis Francis model has the ability to brew with ground coffee but also accepts ESE certified coffee pods, providing quality espresso with no mess and no fuss. This ease of use, coupled with a distinct look, makes the Francis Francis espresso machines something to admire.

E.S.E. stands for ‘Easy Serving Espresso.’ The serving is a single portion of roasted ground coffee compacted between two sheets of filter paper, guaranteeing constant quality and a perfect result in the cup. The E.S.E. trademark is managed by a consortium founded in 1998 by seven companies made up of roasters and espresso machine producers, with the objective of satisfying the consumer’s request of quality and freedom of choice.

All bodies for the X1 are made of high-grade steel, cataphoretically treated (rust-proof) and are sturdy and easy to use. The X1 makes its best coffee with the Easy Serving Espresso system that uses pre-ground single servings of coffee sealed in filter paper. The hot water dispenser for tea and the steam nozzle for heating milk for cappuccinos are also very easy to use.

All in all, the ultimate coffee machine!

Bugatti Diva Espresso Machine - Chrome - Enjoy the real taste of espresso coffee, prepared at home but with that real authentic taste.

The Bugatti Diva espresso machine pushes the world of coffee making up to new heights. It takes a completely new angle at the cult of coffee by combining function and taste with trend. Now that is a great combination in any body’s language. Bugatti has opened a new world of extraordinary creative products, which achieve high quality results every time.

Most people think that the recipe which transforms coffee into one of the tastiest drinks in the world sounds rather quite simple: heat the water to 88-92C and let it flow under pressure through your favourite blend. But what most people don’t know is that the secret behind a perfect espresso coffee lies in the preparation and in the pure perfection of this recipe technique. Which is why you get a perfect espresso every time with the Diva espresso machine.

Each detail has been studied and perfected by Bugatti’s experts to make sure full optimisation of all of the components and their functions have been achieved. With this innovative design, the Diva has many clever functions. The BDS (Bugatti Drop System) stops any coffee escaping. What’s more the water in the filter is completely extracted and discharged into the recovery tank. In this way, each coffee that you taste is made with new water coming directly from the heater that operates at just the right pressure and temperature. Also, because of the Diva’s conical shape, it optimises space and ensures that heat spreads only on the top part of the machine. So you can keep your coffee cups dry and at the right temperature if you wanted to.

Another really clever feature is that you can use both coffee pods and coffee powder! So whichever you prefer to use to make that perfect coffee, you can use it with the Diva espresso machine.

Nigella Lawson Classic Collection - Inspired by her day-to-day experience in the kitchen, food writer Nigella Lawsons kitchenware collection is both stylish and practical.

Nigella Lawsons ‘Living Kitchen’ includes a range of items innovatively designed to make life easier in the kitchen. Each item is perfectly packaged to make the ideal gift or the perfect culinary indulgence. Nigella quotes ‘These are objects I want passionately for my own kitchen - that’s where the collection came from. I’ve really enjoyed having the chance to design my own collection and working through the ideas with Sebastian (Conran - the co designer) and seeing them come to life’.

We’ve put together a number of designer kitchen collections which will sit delightfully in any kitchen, be it a country cottage or a trendy town house.

The Nigella Lawson classic collection features products which no kitchen should be without, namely the breadbin with beach lid, small and large storage jars and the classic salt pig.

Breadbin with Beech Lid
Nigellas passion is evident in every product she designs - including this delightful bread bin. ‘I’ve never been able to find a bread bin I like the look of’ quotes Nigella. ‘Everything is either too trad or too chilling. And I wanted a wooden lid that would double as a breadboard so that it would be functional as well as beautiful’.

Length - 45cm.
Width - 23cm.
Depth - 22cm.
Small Storage Jar x 2

‘I wanted storage jars that evoked a classical form’ comments Nigella ‘but that seems to spill out somehow to make not only a fluid shape but also that would be easier for pouring out contents’ The small storage jars come in an amphora form that can be used in an upright or tilted position. The glass lid allows ‘at a glance’ identification of the contents.

Capacity - 1.5L

Length - 18.5cm.
Width - 10.5cm.
Depth - 16cm.
Large Storage Jar

The large ceramic storage jars are equally as sumptuous as the small storage jars, just that little bit bigger.

The larger storage jar has a 3 litre capacity, which means room for more goodies.

Length - 22cm.
Width - 13cm.
Depth - 19.5cm.
Salt Pig

Nigella explains about the oddly entitled ceramic salt pig, ‘I am a complete Salt addict and like to be able to keep my salt out at ‘grabbable’ distance near the stove at all times. I wanted to include one in the range that I could live with and take pleasure from just seeing it on the kitchen top’.

Length - 16cm.
Height - 19cm.
Width - 16cm.
Depth - 16.5cm.
The Nigella Lawson Classic Collection is available in cream or blue. Please make your selection from the crop down box below.

Funky Chocolatiere Gift Set - The Funky Chocolatiere is sure to cheer up even the most down trodden soul. The Chocolatiere pot is a deliciously chocolate colour with funky coloured flowers and spots. The pot has as an integrated frother, which makes the perfect creamy hot chocolate from either powder or real chocolate. To compliment the pot are two matching mugs.

We can thank Montezuma for introducing the Conquistadors to the delights of drinking chocolate. The Aztecs drank chocolate in a bitter form and Emperor Montezuma introduced Hernan Cortez to the tasty drink who then took it back to Spain with the addition of sugar and vanilla to sweeten the brew. This is the origins of the hot chocolate we love and cherish today.

So when you froth up your hot chocolate and sit down to relax with the warm, melted nectar, raise your mug in thanks to Montezuma and Aztecs.

Olde Thompson Nutmeg Mill - Olde Thompson is the largest manufacturer of salt and pepper mills in the world. Basically every 18 seconds of every hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year somebody buys an Olde Thompson salt or pepper mill. That’s a lot of salt and pepper mills!!

Thankfully the popularity of the OT brand is pretty much confined to the good old US of A. Consequently you can still get your hands on a contemporary design which is still pretty unknown on British shores.

A popular model in the Olde Thompson range is the Nutmeg Mill.

Not only does it look great, but it works surprisingly well and really does help to add the finishing touches to a number of popular dishes.

It is 11cm tall and at a price less than £20 really does provide a great gift for the aspiring Jamies and Nigella’s out there.

Please note, the Mill comes with a lifetime guarantee.
