Welcome to La Cafetiere, the real hot drinks experts. Our classic Cafetiere, which is now in its 40th year, was the original plunger-type coffee maker to be marketed in the UK. This award-winning product is now widely recognised as a Design Icon by houseware specialists worldwide and, of course, remains a favorite with customers to this day. As a consequence, the La Cafetiere brand has become synonymous with both design classic and its reputation for quality and innovation. The last few years have seen La Cafetiere develop further this enviable reputation by widening our availablity to the market place. Historically there has been a special emphasis on coffee; however, we have identified trends that have led us into the resurgent market for tea and even more recently into the growing the drinking chocolate sector, through the development of our La Chocolatiere range of products. La Cafetiere continues to work closely with professional partners in all areas. This has allowed La Cafetiere to expand on its familiar range of coffee makers and into the complete hot drinks story.

Orrefors Difference Primeur Wine Glasses, Set of 2

Orrefors Difference Primeur Wine Glasses, Set of 2 Review



Orrefors Difference Primeur Wine Glasses, Set of 2 Feature

  • Designed by Swedish artist Erika Lagerbielke
  • It takes seven craftsmen to make one individual glass!
  • Also sold as a single glass
  • Lead free
  • Handwashing preferred
A unique suite of wine glasses explicitly designed to enhance flavor and bouquet, brings a new dimension to the enjoyment of fine wine. Form and function have been carefully tested. Difference is the creation of Erika Lagerbielke, one of Sweden's foremost stemware designers, who worked on the new glasses in close cooperation with wine connoisseur Bengt-Goran Kronstam. Unlike other wine glasses, Difference is designed to reflect the wine's maturity rather than grape variety or region, which often demand many different types of glass. In the Difference concept, all that is needed are two glasses for red wines (young and mature), two glasses for white wines (dry/crisp and fruit), one glass for champagne (tall and narrow to conserve the bubbles, yet gently curved to capture the bouquet) and a small glass for sweet dessert wines. All Difference glasses have their own distinctive design idiom - their large bowls are strikingly curved, their stems slender and tall, bringing elegance and beauty to the glass. The broad foot, meanwhile, adds visual and physical stability. "I probably worked on Difference more than on any other design, both aesthetically and functionally," says Erica Lagerbielke who in 2002 celebrated her twentieth anniversary as an Orrefors designer.
