St Andrews Shop
This week the Open Golf Championship is at the home of golf, so we thought it would be appropriate to mention our St Andrews Shop. The shop is in the heart of St Andrews, in the middle of Church Street, which is situated between Market Street and South Street. You shouldn’t miss it – the shop is always sporting some colourful displays in the window, something the industry has recognised, as the shop won the Independent Category at last year’s Excellence in Housewares Awards. The current display shows a few of the attractions of St Andrews, ‘the home of…’ with Old Tom Morris (pictured) highlighting the connection to golf. You can see some of the previous displays below, with themes of Weddings, Father’s Day, National Honey Week and Halloween, promoting a wide selection of products, including Le Creuset cookware, Dualit toasters and KitchenAid mixers.
Nina and her team are our Pots and Pans experts there, so feel free to quiz them on what products will fit your needs. If you can’t make it to the shop, please visit our online cookshop where you can get the latest kitchen and dining products delivered straight to your door.
TV and Cookware
One thing I’ve never understood…. how do TV chefs influence the general public so much with the gadgets and pots and pans that they use? Take Delia Smith for example, our sales of the Kenwood CH180 Mini Choppers went through the roof when she used it once on a show. Simple Suppers love their Le Creuset items, as does Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, and he also has his KitchenAid Blender on hand. Raymond Blanc has his own line of cookware (even if on TV he dissed his own whisk when it wouldn’t sit across the pan, then realised it was his own brand!). Something for the Weekend have shelves filled with gadgets that I’ve never seen them use, such as the Henckels Twin Pollux knife stand, however the Great British Menu competitors seem to like (and use) their Henckels Twin Cuisine Oval Knife Blocks, and I’ve seen them using Circulon (my favorite pan by far) on the show. Jamie Oliver has his own brand of pans, tools, knives and small electricals, which sell very, very well. James Martin cannot be far behind him – his range includes collaborations with Denby, the famous tableware manufacturer. Is it the chef name that does it? The fact the chef has used it? Or the quality of the items? I’m never too sure what leads the purchase…
Krups and Magimix Coffee Machines on Special Promotion
Pots and Pans have just launched a ’Special Promotion on Coffee Machines’, this promotion includes discounts on some of the best selling coffee machines from Magimix and Krups. Included in this promotion are several coffee machines designed for use with the Nespresso capsule system. Nespresso is a system developed by Nestlé where the coffee comes in sealed capsules which can be used in specially built coffee machines designed to use this system. As well as being created so that they are quick and easy to use the main benefit of this system is that it delivers the perfect espresso every time. The capsules are available in a wide variety of flavours and strengths including decaffeinated. Nespresso capsules are continuing to grow in popularity, Magimix, Krups, DeLonghi andSiemens all make coffee machines designed for use with the Nespresso system.
There are discounts on a wide selection of Magimix Nespresso Coffee Machines. As part of our Coffee Machine promotion we have taken £40 off the price of our best selling Magimix Coffee Machine, the black version of the Nespresso M190 CitiZ & Co. We are now selling this model at only £229.99. This is one of Magimix’s range of coffee makers that are built to use the Nespresso capsule system.
The Magimix Nespresso M190 CitiZ & Co is unique among coffee machines in that it allows you to make two cups of coffee at the same time. If you only want to make one coffee at a time then the Nespresso M190 CitiZ is the machine that you will be interested in. We have taken £15 off the price of the black version of the M190 for the duration of our ‘Special Coffee Machine Promotion’, it is now selling at only £135. If you would prefer the cream version of the Nespresso M190 CitiZ then this has also been reduced in price, we are now selling this model £139.99 which is £10 below its normal recommended retail price.
Another version of the Magimix Nespresso M190 is the CitiZ & Milk frother machine. This variation of the M190 has a built in milk frother which is ideal for making cappuccinos and lattes. During our coffee machine promotion we have taken £30 off this machine which means that it is now only £169.99.
As well as these discounts on the various versions of the popular M190 we have also reduced the price of various models of the Magimix Nespresso M100, including £10 off the red and silver versions.
This promotion extends so that it includes Krups coffee machines, several of which have been discounted. The price for all standard Nescafé Krups Dolce Gusto coffee machines have been reduced by £40, this means that we are currently selling Dolce Gusto machines at an incredibly low price of £89.99. This includes the increasingly popular red version of the Dolce Gusto as well as the black and ivory models. Perhaps the most striking feature of the Dolce Gusto is its highly innovative and stylised design which sets it a part in appearance from all other coffee machines. Presently it is one of our best selling coffee machines, not just by Krups, but from any coffee machine manufacturer we stock. The Nescafé Krups Dolce Gusto Circulo has also had its price discounted. This is now available to buy for £129.99, this is £30 below its normal retail price. This uses the same technology as the Dolce Gusto but features as the name suggests a unique circular design which is again highly distinctive and again sets its well apart from all other coffee machines in its appearance.
Both the standard model and the Circulo Dolce Gusto have been built to use the Nescafé Dolce Gusto capsule system, this has also been designed to ensure that using one of these machines is both easy and quick to make the perfect espresso every time that you use the machine.
The various models of the Krups Nespresso CitiZ have also been reduced, including a £20 discount on the version with the built in milk frother. These machines have been built to use the Nespresso capsule system.
All of the discounts have been put in place to make it easier and more affordable than at any other time for you to buy a new coffee machine or maker. Our cookware and kitchenware Winter Sale is also still running.

Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel and new Magimix Nespresso coffee machines added to the website
The latest additions to our online cookware shop include the new Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel cookware range as well as the new Magimix Nespresso coffee machines.
Le Creuset has always been one of the most popular and definitely one of our top selling brands. We expect to find that the new Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel range will be as popular as the existing ranges from this world renowned cookware manufacturer. Although they are best known for their cast iron cookware range the new 3-Ply range is made from a mixture of high grade stainless steel combined with a dash of aluminium. The pans have an aluminium core which ensures that heat is spread evenly across the pan which eliminates hotspots. The pans in the new Le Creuset 3-Ply range are suitable for use on gas and electric hobs as well as induction hobs. All the stainless steel products in this new range come with a life time guarantee, the non-stick coated products in the range have a 10 year guarantee.
We have also started to sell the new range of Magimix Nespresso coffee makers. All of the new coffee machines have been produced to use Nespresso Grands Crus capsules. There are currently 16 different flavours of coffee available in the Grands Cru range. We use one of these machines in our office so we can agree that they do as they claim make the perfect espresso every time.
These are not the last of the new ranges that we will be adding to the Pots and Pans website, we will continue to keep you informed when we add new ranges or expand our existing ranges.
