Make that bottle of red really sing with the gift of a Riedel Duck Decanter, ensuring your wine’s clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit and give it a chance to bloom and develop.
If it’s coffee they love, the Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine will have them swooning. Engineered to deliver optimal espresso flavor with every cup, the espresso machine pre-infuses ground coffee with low, steady water pressure before extraction, gently expanding the grinds before stepping up to high pressure, resulting in a beautifully rich, balanced coffee flavor.
