Looking for the most comprehensive list of the U.S. Top 100 Food and Some of the housewares products that could affect food product development: • Nestle Nespresso and De’Longhi joined forces to introduce the Nespresso Lattissima, an easy-to-clean espresso machine that features a one-touch fresh milk froth function for cappuccino or latte coffees. • Illy’s new Hyper Espresso Machine is a revolutionary yet simple system featuring a capsule of roasted, ground and tamped coffee. The coffee and water are hyperinfused in the extraction chamber under optimal pressure conditions to enhance ﬂavor and aroma. Then the coffee passes through a valve to form a thick, velvety crème in the second chamber. • Olde Thompson, which introduced the pepper mill to America 60 years ago, rolls out a line of disposable, 100 percent recyclable, PET grinders for $8 each. Varieties include Malabar Pepper, Pepper Supreme, Citrus Pepper, Latin Blend, Sea Salt, Garlic Pepper, Garlic Salt, Italian Seasoning, Steak Seasoning, and Poultry Seasoning. • Hamilton Beach’s Four-Slice Toastation is a combo toaster/ toaster oven with four wide slots for bagel halves or toast … but the oven part is large enough for a 9-inch pizza. The company’s Smart Toast 2-slice Toaster allows you to drop in frozen bagels or bread and a tone signals when it’s ready. • To help combat the obesity epidemic, Taylor introduces the Obesity Disease Risk Body Composition Analyzer to track your measurements at home. The scale provides a snapshot of a user’s obesity disease risk, monitoring body fat, body water, bone mineral and muscle mass. • Meyer Corp. U.S. this fall will start selling eco-friendly EarthPan with SandFlow nonstick cookware. Fewer greenhouse gases are used to create EarthPan, and it has no PTFE or PFOA. Similarly, the curing temps required to manufacture EarthPan are 50 percent less than temperatures reached to make ordinary nonstick pans, further lowing the line’s carbon footprint. The unique nonstick coating originates from sand, and is formulated to provide superior food release and easy cleanup. • Vita-Mix Corp. developed blender containers for the VitaMix 5200 using Eastman Chemical Co.’s Tritan copolyester. This durable, advanced polymer does not contain bisphenolA (BPA), which meets the growing demand for BPA-free products from health-conscious consumers. • Dr. Andrew Weil, pioneer in the ﬁeld of integrative medicine, collaborated with Spring Switzerland on the new twotier Electronic Food Steamer. Simply pour water into the allotted compartment, add food to the two tiers (perhaps ﬁsh in one tier and vegetables in the second) and the food cooks at the same time. • Java’s Health Tea Wand, a glass straw with a ﬁ lter, allows you steep and ﬁ lter tea leaves, herbs and infusions in your cup in seconds and helps you avoid dental stains by sipping the tea through the wand.
