vanilla victory! www.mydrinkworks.com
DaVinci Gourmet announces that in a national head-to-head blind taste test, latte drinkers chose DaVinci Gourmet syrup as tasting better than its competitors. The taste test, held in four major U.S. cities, showed consumers consistently choosing DaVinci Gourmet Madagascar vanilla syrup over two top competitors' vanilla syrups. DaVinci Gourmet is so confident that consumers will think its syrups are the best tasting that the company will refund the cost if a consumer doesn't agree. Simply mail in copies of invoices or distributor tracking reports showing purchases of qualifying products through December 31, 2012, and the completed mail-in refund request form found online.

Prima's quest for the grail of geekdom ended with this superfast pocket thermometer from ThermoWorks, and it's a must-have for the manual brewmaster's collection. It's as fully loaded as thermometers come, with accuracy within one degree F., adjustable calibration, water-resistant housing, Fahrenheit-Celsius switchability, and a rapid six-second response time. The auto-off feature doesn't kick in for an hour, leaving even the longest brew time uninterrupted. A massive display makes for easy reading, and the narrow probe can fit inside the vent holes on most popular pouring kettles, including Hario's Buono, Takahiro, and Bonavita's entire lineup. Keeping tabs on your temp can't get much easier.
