George J. Sowden

Housewares by Sowden is the creation of George J. Sowden, the Leeds-born industrial designer, who has been working in Milan Italy since 1971 where he started his design career with Olivetti and eventually founded his own studio. In 1981 he was a founding member of Memphis, a group of designers, artists and architects whose work defined the post-modern movement. Defying the design trends of the 80’s, Memphis received world-wide recognition for its use of vivid colors, and radical materials compositions.

Now the Sowden studio is producing a signature line with a collection of products having very contemporary Italian style and functionality. Sowden has already produced award winning porcelain designs in the line called SoftBrew. The Sowden influence can be seen in collaborative designs made with Olivetti, Alessi, Bodum, Guzzini, Lorenz, Rancilio, Steelcase, Swatch, Segis, Memphis, IPM, Moulinex, Telecom Italia, Tefal and Pyrex.

The ROK Espresso Maker

By Nick Brown The ROK Espresso Maker

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ROK IN ACTION! My job allows me to play around with some pretty cool stuff, but today I had the opportunity to test out something awesome. If you haven’t already heard of the ROK espresso maker, let me tell you a little bit about it. It's a manual espresso machine from Presso, Ltd. and it’s making waves at the London Coffee Festival. Needless to say, I was stoked. So, I grabbed some coffee, our hot water kettle, and a few volunteers, and we went to town. There’s really a lot to like about this machine, but one of the first things that struck...

Treat Yourself! Cinnamon Bun Latte

By Nick Brown Treat Yourself! Cinnamon Bun Latte

It's always exciting when we get new products, but it’s even more exciting when I can use them for recipes! So, I was obviously delighted when I discovered that we had not one, but three new varieties of Monin syrups that we would be adding to our repertoire of flavors: Cinnamon Bun, Banana Nut Bread, and Cupcake. And of course, there’s really no better way to showcase one of these new flavors than by putting it in a drink! I give you the Cinnamon Bun Latte. Ingredients: 1 oz. Monin Cinnamon Bun Syrup Double Shot Espresso 6 oz. Steamed Milk Whipped...
