Mr. Boston is the go-to resource for professional mix masters everywhere, but it’s just as good (maybe even better) for personal entertaining. Created by top bartenders around the country and compiled by the trusted experts at Mr. Boston, this new app makes cocktail knowledge and inspiration portable, interactive, and fun. The app features:

• Full library of 1,400 expert-tested Mr. Boston recipes
• Bar Basics section covering essential techniques, equipment, and ingredients
• Powerful search capabilities, allowing easy retrieval of cocktails by name or ingredient
• Categories such as Classic Cocktails, Shooters, Frozen Drinks, Eggnogs and Punches, and more
• Customization features, such as a Favorites folder and the ability to add personal notes and photos
• Pop-up illustrations of must-have equipment and glassware, with links to online sources
• Measurement conversions (U.S. to metric)
• Ability to share your favorite recipes with friends or colleagues

And if cocktail-party math intimidates you, the Mr. Boston app has a solution for that, too. Use the interactive spinner wheels to input the number of guests, type of function (dinner, cocktails, etc.), and other factors, and the app does the rest, estimating how many drinks you’ll need and how many bottles to buy for any type of event. Problem solved. Cheers!

November 15 is National Bundt Day!

Fill in the information below, and you’ll be entered to win one of 10 Limited Edition Anniversary Bundt pans from Nordic Ware.

Note: You can enter two times per e-mail address per day. Deadline is noon (12:00 p.m.) EDT 11.8.10.

Created to mark the company’s 60th anniversary, the Anniversary Bundt pan is a close replica of Nordic Ware’s original cast aluminum Bundt, which was taller, deeper, and heavier than today’s pans. The Anniversary Bundt pan is the preferred pan for David Leite’s incredibly popular Portuguese Orange-Olive Oil Cake recipe and is recommended because the pan:

• Boasts more distinctive flutes.
• Accommodates large and small recipes, so your cake will look majestic no matter its size.
• Features light-colored, heavy cast aluminum for excellent heat distribution.
• Creates evenly browned and beautiful cakes time after time.
• Restores the original side handles to the design, for easy lifting in and out of the oven.
• Features a nonstick coating to ensure the cake’s perfect release and to make cleanup a breeze.

If you’re in need of additional ideas for using your Anniversary pan, you can’t go wrong with these other great cake recipes that work well in Bundt form.

The Melitta Coffeemaker has three brew-strength settings (regular, bold, and robust) to give you more flavorful coffee, cup after cup—even with small batches. Its cone filter basket also allows for better extraction. It is programmable, so you can wake in the morning to a fresh pot of joe, and it also has a 2-hour auto shutoff feature. An adjustable warming plate allows temperature control of the 12-cup glass carafe, which has a drip-free pouring spout to avoid spills. In addition, the coffeemaker is simple to use with an easy-fill water reservoir and front-access brew basket.

LC What to Do With Coffee Note: Drinking the coffee brewed with your new Melitta will help you understand the company’s tagline “Dedicated to the Perfect Cup,” but we thought we’d also serve up a reminder that eating coffee isn’t so bad either. To see what we mean, contemplate this Red Eye Devil’s Food Cake or devour this Coffee Spice Cake.

For the freshest, most aromatic coffee, you’ll be grinding your own beans with the Melitta Grinder. The grinder features a uniquely patented hands-free operation for press-and-go ease. Its fineness control adjusts to select fine, medium, or coarse grind coffee, while precise cup settings let you grind just what you need (four to 14 cups). If you’ve avoided coffee grinders in the past due to the mess, don’t worry. This grinder features a removable, dishwasher-safe chamber for easy pouring and its sleek design includes a cleaning brush that snaps to the back of the unit plus wrap-around base cord storage.

Finally, if tea’s your beverage of choice, the Melitta 1.7 Liter Cordless Kettle will make a lovely cuppa. Temperature-control settings allow you to brew a variety of teas such as green, white, black, and oolong—each steeped to perfection. The kettle features a concealed heating element and boil dry protection. It also includes a water window for viewing, lighted on/off switch, auto shutoff, and thumb-activated lid. The kettle goes cord-free from counter to tea table, and its cool-touch handle and drip-free spout ensure safe and elegant service.
