There is no better way to celebrate a special occasion than by toasting, surrounded by friends, family or significant others. The best options for doing so are always with a good bottle of champagne.

Many times a good bottle of Dom Perignon or Moet & Chandon are opened and only half of the bottle is consumed. We’ve all been in a situation when we’re throwing away an excellent wine because of this, as much as we would want to still have that half a bottle the flavour is ruined by the next day, it goes flat and looses it freshness, a complete waste.

Now, after years of development, a system named Perlage has come to answer every champagne-lover’s prayers. It is a revolutionary new tool designed using the latest technology to preserve the life of an opened bottle for over a week without losing any of its freshness.

There is no hassle, only cover the opened bottle, twist to close it, and fill it with the CO2 cartridges (or a CO2 system for restaurant owners); the bottle will return to the same composition and pressure of gasses that were there before the bottle was opened. The Perlage Champagne Preservation System was tested by wine tasters and the most renowned restaurateurs from all over the world; they all agree that it is super-efficient, quick and easy to use method resulting in no change to the fine flavours of the wine.

Now you can enjoy that great taste for longer and longer, bottoms up!

Coffee is one of the most delicious tasting and sweet smelling aromas in the world. After a cup, a shot or a sip it makes one feel recharged and brings pleasure to many in their daily life.

There are many variations of a simple cup of brewed coffee, one of the most popular and demanded by costumers is the Frappe. It is a mix of coffee and ice, an easy and delicious recipe to enjoy during the summer, on the go, or just when a different and fresh coffee dose is needed.

The traditional way to do it is by mixing brewed coffee with ice, milk, chocolate, or any other flavour you would like to add, but now, new and easy ways to do it are available.

At CreamSupplies.co.uk we are proud to present Zuma Frappe, a quick and easy powder formula that tastes just like the real deal (or better!), just blend it with ice and milk and you will have a tasty summer alternative! And for those who like their beverages on the sweet side, a splash of flavoured syrup, dusting chocolate or a swirl of whipped cream could be the perfect combination for this mouth watering drink.

Zuma Frappe is made with real excellent quality coffee and cocoa, no preservatives added and no unhealthy fats, only the best ingredients.

A taste that won’t be forgotten in a hurry!

Cream Supplies are very excited to announce the return of the mypressi^® TWIST^TM. Negotiations are drawing to a close and we are pleased to say the TWIST will be available on our website from early June 2010. Keep checking back to save disappointment!’

Countless people all over the world look forward to a cup of coffee when they are at work or at home. There is a deep relationship between the coffee break and stress. After taking a single sip, all of our stresses immediately vanish, this is the reason people regard it as a great refreshment that pushes them away from idleness and into action. Moreover according to recent research made on organic coffee, intake of 3-4 medium sized cups is very beneficial for human health, which makes your mind and soul super-active. It is equally important to have knowledge of different kinds of coffees and their benefits. At Cream Supplies, you will find a range of Organic and Fair trade coffee.

Organic and fair-trade coffee beans of Nicaragua are famous all over the world, since it is one of the finest quality producers of coffee beans and has adopted the best farming techniques. Nicaraguan Coffee grains are mainly of two kinds; lighter ones taste a little like an unfinished or under- processed roast which sometimes seems odd, however the darker bean is more likely to have a tangy chocolate flavour maintaining a good balance. Nicaraguan Coffee is very beneficial as it has certain ingredients that accelerate human efficiency.

Another appealing coffee that is rarely found today is from Papa New Guinea. Normally these coffee beans are dark roast with a wild body. Papa New Guinea coffee has a deep, rich, chocolaty taste that automatically makes one’s mouth water.  To grow well, these beans require high elevation and plenty of rainfall in addition to the farmer’s hard work.

Papa New Guinea has a small sized coffee industry yet unmatched in taste and benefits, it is grown in a number of villages in small gardens, enhancing the beauty of the landscape. According to local inhabitants, the coffee beans of Papa New Guinea help in keeping the digestive system in order, moreover they make us active, giving extra stamina to work for more hours.

Coffee beans from Bolivia are very famous. Although Bolivia is not one of the largest coffee bean producers, still a large number of quality and refined beans are generated from this land. The bean tastes so good that it will even delight the worst coffee enemy. Bolivia has recently developed a good name in producing coffee, which is recognised all over the world. Their coffee beans are widely used in offices and homes to energise people and get them ready to work, at an even better pace.

When it comes to the taste of traditional coffee, Mexican beans are unmatched. They are characteristically light structured and nutty, but some may have a heavier body with sharp acidity, moreover they may have a slight touch of chocolate. People while sipping Mexican coffee, have a sensation of being in a Mexican café enjoying life by immersing themselves in the crowd.

One more high quality coffee bean producer is Colombia, which generates two types of bean. One is known for its weighty structure, rich flavour and balanced acidity, the second is comparatively less acidic yet preserves the same richness and darkness. These are famous for their unique taste and perfect chocolate aroma.

The good thing about all these coffees is that they are organically grown. Organic generation of coffee beans enables us to preserve a large number of forests, as it is shade grown. Moreover it uses no artificial chemicals, which result in a number of health disorders.

When thinking of whipped cream most of us would think of a soft, light cloud on top of a delicious cup of coffee or a tasty slice of pie, others may remember just a can or the sound when it’s being shaken. Now, if you think of cookware you may think of a toaster, coffee maker, blender or all of those inventions that have been helping millions of people do their daily chores for years.  However, there is one kitchen appliance that has been around for years, but many have underestimated it’s capacities or even worse don’t even know that it exists. I am talking of course about a Cream Whipper. Yes, it was invented with the sole purpose of making yummy whipped cream, but chefs and cooking lovers have found many ways to use it.

Cream Whippers can be used to make fluffy recipes like mousses, sauces, foams, dressings, mayonnaise, and dips of all kinds that will delight and excite the taste buds. Another great thing about Cream Whippers is that because of the material they are made from, they have excellent resistance to both hot and cold temperatures, so you can just experiment with countless ideas all to your heart’s desire. When making any dish with a Cream Whipper you don’t have to worry about storage or the preservation life of your final dish, you can just leave the finished product inside the fridge for up to 10 days, given to Nitrous Oxide, the active emulsifying gas that whips the cream or sauce, because it acts as a natural, safe antibiotic.

Fun for all the family and a product that just keeps giving.  An essential part of any cook’s kitchen!
