Lagostina is the Italian manufacturer of first-class stainless-steel cookware including pots and pans, pressure cookers, and kitchen utensils.

With a philosophy based on Italian culture, fine cuisine, and a deep respect for elegant, quality products that dates back to 1901, Lagostina is representative of state of the art cooking.

The new range of cookware features Lagostina's world-exclusive LAGOPLAN® base, a thick band of aluminium fused to the stainless steel base that delivers outstanding heat diffusion.

The combination of aluminium and stainless steel increases the efficiency of the base's heat diffusion, is easier to clean, and improves the aesthetics of the product. In addition, the base ensures that food is cooked evenly to bring out the fine flavors of the ingredients being prepared.

The new range of Lagostina cookware will be available exclusively from Better Life this winter and features five different collections to suit varying tastes and cooking styles.

Siemens Surpresso Compact Coffee Machine:

An impressive beans-to-cup machine that makes beautiful filter coffee, espresso, cappuccino and latte.

With a 15 bar Thermoblock system and AromaWhirl brewing chamber, coffee lovers are guaranteed maximum flavour in every cup.

Have your coffee just the way you like it with a choice of cup sizes, strengths, and grinding options.

The symbol display screen makes this machine easy to use, and with a removable water tank and the Calc'n' Clean one-step descaling programme to keep your Siemens coffee machine in tip-top condition, you can't go wrong.

There's also a coffee bean container that holds 250g of fresh beans, complete with an aroma-retaining lid, plus a separate container for pre-ground coffee.

Vestfrost Wine Cooler:

The Vestfrost Wine Cooler provides the fussiest wine connoisseur with the optimum storage conditions for their favourite drop.

An attractive alternative to the traditional damp cellar, the Vestfrost Wine Cooler is temperature and air controlled allowing wines to develop to their full potential.

An intelligent electronic thermostat ensures precise and simple regulation of the cabinet's temperature, and enables several temperature zones in the same cabinet, for example, 10°C at the bottom of the cabinet and 17°C at the top.

Adjustable wooden shelves create easy storage, optimal display, and ensure the wine is not subjected to any vibrations allowing it to mature undisturbed, and the carbon filter cleans the air, protecting the cork from being penetrated by impurities and spoiling the wine.

Fisher & Paykel Titan Cooker:

The new range of Fisher & Paykel Titan cookers come with an electric oven and a choice of gas or Vitroceramic cook tops.

With a triple ring burner and a uniform flame, heat is evenly distributed across the bottom of large pots, pans, and woks.

Cast iron trivets are recessed into the cook top for a streamlined design, making it easier to move pots and pans between elements providing a continuous cooking surface for safety and stability.

In the event of the flame being accidentally blown out, an electrode sparks and relights the flame, if no flame is detected the gas supply to the appliance is shut off and the burner indicator light will flash slowly.

The Vitroceramic cookers come with self cleaning side catalytic panels, and a fan cooled double glazed oven door.
