“Cooking is my happy
place. So when this
sleek, limited-edition
copper baby arrived
in the office, it’s safe
to say I was pumped.
So clever it could
practically grow
legs and walk, this
high-performance
blender does pretty

straight from the
jug (yes, really) to
grinding coffee beans
or making ice cream.
Not confident in the
kitchen? No worries!

dish soap. And while

the job of 10 gadgets
and comes with a
10-year warranty.
What’s not to love?”
