DECEMBER 2014 RETAILOBSERVER.COM 17 The new counter sinks from MTI Baths answer the need in the market for increased flexibility in products to meet the particular situations and challenges faced by consumers when designing or remodeling a bathroom. Many consumers have shared that they feel like they are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole when selecting products for their bathrooms. This was the inspiration for the customizable MTI Counter-Sinks. These new integrated sinks are extremely versatile. The length, width, deck height and bowl placement can be customized to any specification. Additionally, custom colors and designs are available for projects, even furthering the level of complete customization. And MTI will ship in 15 business days. Like all products in MTI's Boutique Collection, the Counter-Sink is also sustainable, being constructed of MTI's proprietary Engineered Solid Stone™ (ESS)*, a mixture of natural ground minerals and high-performance resins that are liquefied, poured and then hardened. The result is what looks and feels like molded stone. ESS is 100% solid through and through, with no hollow spots, voids or surface coating. It is a non-porous material that is not only beautiful, but extremely easy to maintain. Approximately 65% of the material is organic, and MTI utilizes a resin of combined renewable bio- derived and/or recycled content, all of which makes MTI's ESS material quite "Green". MTI Baths' Counter-Sinks allow complete customi- zation and provide a proportionally harmonious bath space.

TO INTRODUCE GOURMET HOME COFFEE SYSTEM Delivers the perfect cup to fit personal tastes every time Wolf Appliance, Inc., introduces its all-new built-in coffee system as part of its largest product rollout in company history. Available to consumers in June 2014, this gourmet home coffee system makes professional-quality brewed coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte and macchiato, and perfectly steams and foams milk in seconds, producing a consistently delicious cup of coffee done to the user's taste, every time. One-touchconvenience adds ease to the system's milk cleaning feature, which uses steam and requires no disassembly. The coffee system is available in stainless steel and black glass styles with optional trim kits to seamlessly coordinate with other Wolf products. "Coffee is a new venture for Wolf, and one that we are incredibly proud to bring to market," said Jim Bakke, president and CEO of Sub-Zero and Wolf. "We can now offer an in-home coffee process that creates a flawlessly brewed beverage made with an easy-to-use system." The automated coffee system incorporates the following performance features to ensure consistent, delicious beverages: • Settings: Designed to grind coffee beans for each beverage to ensure a fresh cup every time, owners can also tailor the coffee system to work with pre-ground coffee. Settings can be customized to adjust water temperature, brew strength and liquid output. The system's "My Coffee" option stores a custom volume setting for the most frequent drink request. • Easy Cleanup: The coffee system eliminates the messy cleanup often associated with built-in coffee machines. With one touch of a button, the user can easily trigger a three-to six-second steam cleaning process when done creating drinks with the milk carafe. And milk never enters the system's internal machinery, so no disassembly is required for cleanup. • Speed: A fast initial system warm-up leads to swift coffee drink production, providing the perfect cup in no time. Beverages are ready to enjoy in minutes. An internal clock allows the user to power on the machine at a set time so it is ready to go when you are. • Water Reservoir: The system's half-gallon water reservoir can be easily accessed from the front without opening the unit. The system also contains a hot water dispenser for tea and other hot instant beverages.
