LITTLE ROCK — 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.
