With the festive period just round the corner, Christmas gifting is starting to creep onto the agenda, and brands are unveiling some truly unique gadgets and home accessories that boast style and clever functionality across tea, coffee, wine and kitchen utensils.
Here we take a peek at German kitchen brand, AdHoc; from morning matcha and freshly brewed coffee to evening drinks and festive fizz, the company brings design and functionality together for Autumn, Winter and Christmas gifting.
Designed and engineered in Germany, the range combines contemporary European-inspired aesthetics with clever functionality – making the pieces as appealing left out on display as they are practical to use.
For anyone whose morning matcha has become something of a ritual, the new Chado Matcha Connoisseur Set brings everything together in one beautifully presented gift box. It includes a rechargeable electric frother with a high-performance motor, a matcha spoon crafted from 18/8 stainless steel and a 250ml heat-resistant, mouth-blown borosilicate glass. The taste-neutral glass makes every piece unique, while the electric frother mixes matcha powder at the touch of a button for quick and effortless preparation.
A generous present for the serious tea drinker, the Yuna Tea Lovers Set brings together a Yuna teapot, two-piece glass cup set, milk and sugar set and an additional coaster. The collection uses heat-resistant, mouth-blown grey glass, complemented by stainless steel and acacia wood detailing, creating an elegant coordinated set for everything from a quiet afternoon brew to tea with friends.
A useful gift doesn’t have to be boring. The new 500ml Pulse Thermo Mug combines a slim contemporary silhouette with some serious insulation credentials. Its double-walled stainless-steel vacuum construction and inner copper coating keep drinks hot for up to 10 hours or cold for up to 12 hours, while the transparent lid, leak-proof design and non-slip silicone base make it ready for commutes, Winter walks and days on the move.
Talking of hot drinks, bring a little barista-style finishing touch to coffee at home with the Moro Electric Milk & Sauce Frother. Its high-performance 10,000rpm motor creates creamy milk foam in seconds, while its versatility extends beyond coffee to airy dressings, soups and sauces. Rechargeable rather than reliant on disposable batteries, Moro comes with a USB-C charging cable and is available in a selection of contemporary finishes.
And for coffee lovers who prefer the traditional cafetière method, the Impact French Press Coffee Maker combines mouth-blown grey borosilicate glass with stainless steel and silicone. Available in 600 and 1000ml sizes, its high-quality stainless-steel filter uses an optimised mesh structure designed to maximise aroma transfer during brewing, creating a full-bodied cup.
