Boston, Mass. (May 2003) - The
Specialty Coffee Association's Exhibitor
Awards acknowledge new products judged on
their quality and value to the specialty
coffee industry. Exhibitor Awards were
presented at the SCAA's 15th Annual Conference
& Exhibition in Boston, Massachusetts, April
26 - 28, 2003. Judging took place on Sunday,
April 27, and award presentations were made
Monday, April 28 on the exhibit floor. Only
one award was given away in each category.
Timolino's Countertop Vacuum Carafe was
voted the Best New Product in the Coffee
Accessory Category. It's Timolino's second
award from the Specialty Coffee Association of
America.
"It is a great honor to be the recipient of
this award for the second times in three
years," said Jackson Lian, Vice President of
Sales & Marketing. "We bring a simple concept
overlooked by those within carafe
manufacturing industry to reality in hope of
solving a problem that encounters by most of
our specialty coffee retailer customers, the
lack of identification system on the carafe
design."
The use of carafe has changed in the past
few years when it comes to commercial
establishments such as specialty coffee shops
where milk and cream are kept cold for an
extended period of time in the carafe. Since
people enjoy different kind of milk and cream
to enhance the taste of the coffee, one often
finds three or four carafes standing side by
side on the countertop. With the lack of
proper content ID system, many establishments
place scotch tape with the name of the
contents spelled out. While the end result has
been obtained, the overall appearance of the
carafe is jeopardized and its attractiveness
is tainted.
Timolino incorporates content
identification system into its design with the
snap- in ID marker. Each Milk ID Now Kit comes
with an easy-to-clean stopper cap in white,
extra silicon ring replacement and different
milk markings. Milk markings include Skim
Milk, Lowfat Milk, Whole Milk and Half & Half.
"With our milk identification system, cafe
customers may now easily identify the contents
at a glance,"said Jackson Lian, “and best of
all, no more distasteful, hard-to-maintain
hand marked tape."
For restaurant service, we have also
developed Beverage ID Kits. Beverage ID Kits
include Regular Coffee Kit, Decaffeinate
Coffee Kit, Special Blend Coffee Kit and Water
ID Kit. Stopper cap for each beverage type
comes in a different color to allow easy
identification of the contents.
Timolino Countertop
Vacuum Carafe has a 1.2 liter (40 fl. oz.)
capacity and is constructed with double walls
of stainless steel. It is available in either
the brushed stainless steel finish or elegant
desert silver enamel coating. Suggested retail
price for the carafe is at $50.00.
