JURA coffeemachines: Aroma boost, Eco-Intelligence..it’s all about perfection

JURA Elektroapparate AG of Switzerland extracts the aroma better than their cheaper, commercial counterparts. This in turn, naturally translates to some of the best-tasting cups of coffee you’ll ever get the pleasure of sipping.

Originally a home appliance company founded way back in 1931 in Niederbuchsiten, Switzerland, it wasn’t until 1994 when JURA started to specialize in fully automatic espresso machines with the very first of its innovative and now very popular IMPRESSA line. Since then, JURA has sold more than 2 million espresso machines, each one meeting JURA’s three main criteria of outstanding design, simple operation and the best coffee result. By outstanding design, JURA means compact espresso machines for the home characterized by clean lines and beautifully finished surfaces that have consistently won international design prizes. One look at JURA’s IMPRESSA J7 and IMPRESSA J9 One Touch machines and they look like high-end audio appliances that would look great not just in the kitchen but in any other room in the house, for that matter.

Ditto with the IMPRESSA C9, the Top of the Line IMPRESSA Z7 and the slim and sexy ENA7 and ENA9 machines that all embody elegance, sophistication and function in compact enclosures that are conversation pieces in themselves. As simple operation goes, nothing can be more intuitive than JURA’s interactive plain text dialog screen that makes it easy for anyone to serve a cappucino or latte machiato at the touch of a single button. Coffee strength, temperature, water and milk quantities are all adjustable not only in the IMPRESSA J9 One Touch but also in other equally state-of-the-art models like the IMPRESSA J7, the IMPRESSA C9, the IMPRESSA Z7, the ENA7 and the ENA9 models.

Mang Inasal now delivers within selected areas



Mang Inasal endeavors to adhere to elements that bear a distinctively Pinoy stamp-grilling with charcoal, rice wrapped in banana leaves, a marinade concocted out of local spices and herbs, bamboo sticks for skewers, and the ambience that encourages kinamot (the Ilonggo term in eating with the hands) whenever chicken inasal is served. All these evoke a rush of nostalgia for tradition, culture, and most of all, Home.

Now they deliver within Metro Manila, Antipolo and Cainta! Just call 733-11-11

Wendy’s Greenbelt reopens with a new look

Jason John W.S. Lim, newly appointed president of Wenphil Corp. (the Philippine franchisee of Wendy’s International), said Wendy’s International has seen the wisdom of creating a more "modern and clean feel" to their stores as a way of attracting a more diverse clientele, specifically from among the younger market aged 16 and up. The company decided to renovate its stores starting this year and to date, he said the company has spent P200 million to renovate 18 of its current 30 stores. Mr. Lim said Wendy’s has allotted another P150 million for the face-lift of the remaining 12 stores next year.

Wendy’s Greenbelt was the fourth Wendy’s branch in the country. It opened in October 1986. It was first renovated in April 1991, and then in June 2004. The store was renovated earlier this year, and was closed for 45 days until its soft reopening last month.

As Wendy’s improves on the look of all its stores, Mr. Lim said the company is also gearing up to aggressively expand next year. He said Wendy’s plans to open at least 15 new stores, mostly in the provinces like Cebu and Davao. "We feel it’s the best time for Wendy’s to change and keep up with the competition," Mr. Lim said.
