A variety of 30 inch (762 mm) trim kits with a combination of black glass and stainless steel finishes expand the design options to create contemporary, transitional and professional looks that seamlessly integrate with other Wolf products. The coffee system can be paired horizontally or stacked vertically. • Simple Installation: A mounted glide system provides for quick installation and easy access to the unit. No plumbing is necessary. A cup warming drawer, also available in stainless or black, will soon be introduced to complement the coffee system, allowing owners to store and warm their favorite mugs prior to drink production. The cup warming drawer will help ensure drinks that start hot stay hot.

HANSGROHE'S NEWEST KITCHEN FAUCETS DELIVER ON-TREND PERFORMANCE & EYE-CATCHING LOOKS Hansgrohe is putting a special focus on the kitchen, in particular spotlighting its newest kitchen faucet collections. In line with current trends, the Metris and Focus kitchen collections boast sound ergonomics, intelligent functions and high-quality design, ensuring a superior experience in one of the most often used rooms in the home. Senior Product Manager Benjamin Newcombe remarks, "We strive to offer products that meet the needs of the ever changing market. We feel these new introductions deliver on durability, aesthetics, functionality and the quality assurance that trade professionals and consumers expect from the brand. These innovative faucets take it to a new level by bringing our celebrated shower technology to the kitchen." OF-THE-MOMENT FEATURES INCLUDE: • Shower Technology in the Kitchen: The inventor of the multi-function showerhead and handshower, it's no surprise Hansgrohe is an expert in shower technology. Now Hansgrohe is bringing its shower expertise to the kitchen sink, incorporating multi-spray handshowers into its faucets. The Metris 2-spray HighArc and Prep, as well as the Focus 2-Spray HighArc and Prep kitchen faucets boast an extendable handshower with two jet types (laminar and needle). Because the Metris and Focus integrate Hansgrohe's signature shower technology, they also undergo rigorous testing in Hansgrohe's specialized shower lab in Germany. • Greater Ease of Movement: Functionality in the kitchen is key, as is comfort. The Metris and Focus Kitchen faucets provide both. Users can easily grab the kitchen hand sprays from the front and pull it towards them in one streamlined movement. There is plenty of hose length so even large and unwieldy pots and pans can be filled or rinsed comfortably. What's more, the magnetic MagFit shower spray holder ensures that hand sprayers are held securely after use. The ergonomically designed handle means water can be turned on and off easily, and the flexible faucet extension makes for quick cleanup. INDUSTRY [ N E W S ]
