Gravity-Activated Spice-Smashers

The Bodum Bistro Grinder Would Make Sir Isaac Newton Proud

— July 11, 2011 — Lifestyle
If you were to look into your kitchen right now you would find numerous types of kitchen appliances, but most of them are operated manually; Bodum created a product that is operated by gravity. The Bodum Bistro Automatic Gravity Activated Salt and Pepper Grinder revolutionizes the way you cook and work in your kitchen.

When in the kitchen cooking or outside barbecuing, it becomes difficult to keep track of everything, but with the Bodum Bistro grinder, everything becomes simple. Just tip the grinder to a 45-degree angle and gravity does the rest -- the spices are automatically ground up.

This product is perfect for people who love to cook but find themselves too busy in the kitchen. As an added bonus, since your hands won't be holding a salt-and-pepper shaker, they can be used for more important things like pouring yourself a cold, refreshing beverage.
Trend Themes
1. Gravity-activated Kitchen Appliances - An opportunity for kitchen appliance brands to create products that are operated by gravity instead of manually.
2. Automatic Spice Grinders - An opportunity to create innovative kitchen products with the ability to automatically grind spices.
3. Hands-free Cooking Products - An opportunity for kitchen product brands to create hands-free products, making it easier for users to multitask.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchen Appliance Industry - New product innovations can be created that revolutionize the way people work in their kitchens, such as gravity-activated appliances.
2. Spice Industry - The automatic spice grinder trend creates a new opportunity for spice companies to adapt their products for this innovative technology.
3. Consumer Electronics Industry - Hands-free, automatic technology within the kitchen presents a new area for consumer electronics companies to create smart, connected devices.
