The Magic Bullet. You've probably seen the infomercials, but is it worth it's salt? Yes. I have a natural tendency to be skeptical of infomercial-related products (kind of counter productive isn't it?), but Carla and I were given one way back as a wedding present, and it quickly found it's way into daily use - literally daily use.
We like to make fruit smoothies to have with our breakfast, and usually made them with an immersion blender. What made us switch, was the fact that the Bullet was more powerful, faster and the cleanup was a cinch. You can load up all the ingredients for each person's smoothie right into their drinking cup, then just screw on the blade atachment and press onto the motor to blend. Then you take the same blade, screw it onto the next cup and repeat. They even give you some screw-on lids so you can take your cup to go. Cleanup is restricted to the blade attachment and the cups themselves. Since everything screws together, spillage is basically impossible. We've made some pretty sturdy smoothies and never saw it get stuck (ground flax seed really thickens things up).
The Bullet also does a great job as a spice/coffee grinder. A lot of chefs keep multiple spice grinders in order to keep coffee from tasting like curry and vise-versa - the Magic Bullet is so easy to clean, one unit will take care of you. For large spice mixes, the capacity is much better too, no more need to grind your spices in several batches. This particular set has the added appeal of coming with a pitcher attachment for larger jobs. CHECK IT OUT HERE.
