Murphy Law number one: whenever you get the craving for something, it won’t be around. Murphy Law number two: most times you won’t be able to do anything about that. The only law the Zoku Quick Pop Maker has: you can always do something about that craving. This is the coolest thing you’ll see, literally.

You can create your own customized frozen pops, including cream-filled varieties, as quick as 7 minutes! To enjoy Quick Pops at a moment’s notice, simply store the compact base in your freezer. The kit includes six durable, reusable plastic pop sticks that have unique ridged designs that allow pops to adhere securely, with special drip guards for tidy eating. A specially designed tool helps to quickly release the frozen treats from their molds. The unit can make up to 9 pops before refreezing the unit again. 7 minutes, that’s all it takes…

Remember the Rubik Cube game? We used to play with it for hours, twisting and turning until we got it right. Well, the idea of twisting and turning is pretty much the same over here – you want some salt and pepper? Start twisting.

The top layer of the cube rotates to operate the mill. It can be adjusted to grind fine, or coarse. Whether it is salt, pepper or both – all you have to do is twist.

Alessi is famous for their approach to design, producing practical everyday objects that combine functionality and a powerful sense of style, almost poetic and usually with a humorous twist.

Once again Alessi has come up with a novel idea and developed a series named “Miniature” – perfectly reproducing the shape and the material of the classic Alessi products that have become design icons. Eleven “best-sellers”, carefully chosen from the very top of the range, the most successful projects created over the course of the last 60 years, from the “Bombé” teapot by Carlo Alessi (1945) to the “Mami” saucepan by Stefano Giovannoni (1999).

Thanks to this series, I can now afford to add to my collection of Alessi items, or at least add “samples” of them.
