Gifts for Dad

— Looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift? Here are a couple of sugges

tions that will please the dad in your life: Soda Stream: Here’s an appliance that the gadget-lover will find fun

and economical. Imagine making up a bottle of soda water to your

exact liking by customizing the carbonation. You can buy an extra

bottle so there is always refrigerated soda on hand, and it costs

nothing but the water that you use. The makers have also come

up with myriad flavorings to add to the soda water. This would be

a fun item for creating colorful and tasty drinks all year long. Visit

Sodastream.com.

CBTL Single Serve Beverage System: For the barista dad, Cof

fee Bean and Tea Leaf is the latest to get into the capsule coffee

makers that conveniently serve individual cups of coffee quickly and

efficiently. The company has a number of machines to fit whatever

space is available in your kitchen. They all require Coffee Bean and

Tea Leaf capsules to make the coffee. What makes this machine so

appealing is that it also makes regular coffee and tea; none of the

others can do this. Pros: easy, good-quality coffee. Cons: you can

only use Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf coffee capsules, which might not

be a bad thing if you like the company’s coffee. Visit cbtl.com.

Chef’s Choice Knife Sharpeners: Some dads love to chop, slice

and mince. That means they need a very sharp knife. If you want

to go for the gold, buy him the electric Professional Sharpening

Station. It is both a sharpener and a steel, which will ensure that all

knives are in perfect cutting condition. If you want to buy something

more budget-friendly, try the Pronto Pro manual knife sharpener.

Easy to use and small, this is great for the dad with limited kitchen

space. Visit Edgecraft.com.
