Opening Champagne in front of a customer can be a daunting experience, especially if it goes wrong and the cork ends up concussing one of your customers.

 German company SIEGER​ believes it has come up with a gadget that allows for the safe opening of Champagne corks, the Sieger Cava. Priced around £15, the gadget is far cheaper than an insurance claim from an upset customer who has been hit in the eye by a flying cork. For more information call 0208 7313700​.

 Get yourself in a froth with the new Rancilio TSC auto frother from THE COFFEE MACHINE COMPANY​. This is an advanced milk frother, which creates a good head for cappuccinos and other milky drinks.
