Conjuring images of a late-night diner, the Maillard Sugar Dispenser (2001) has a classic design that avoids sentimentality. Its easy-pour spout neatly delivers sugar into your cup, while a rubber ring creates a tight seal. The Sugar Dispenser is part of the Maillard Coffee Service Collection, which asks that no one take a commonplace daily custom for granted. Whether the recipients are a houseful of guests or you and your newspaper, the Maillard Collection comprises everything needed for serving ­ and sweetening ­ your preferred style of coffee. Combine the Sugar Dispenser with the Coffee Press, which keeps your coffee both insulated and visible, or the stovetop Espresso Machine. Set it on the table, perhaps with the Honey or Cream Dispenser, to be served with the Maillard cups and mugs. Maillard is a coordinated collection that retains a classic aesthetic without being retro. The primary material used is a steel alloy called Cromargan®. Neutral in flavor and resistant to food acid, Cromargan is hygienic, stainless and easily cleaned. Dishwasher safe.
