the components were blown molded from borosilicate glass by a company that traditionally specializes in laboratory glassware, making them very tough and safe for use in even the toughest kitchen conditions. the rubber bladder and pipette squeezer were produced from silicone in a hand rotational process. this material was specially selected so as to be safe with food products and not to taint the flavors of the ingredients. the grinding mechanisms on the mills were produced using asb plastic using a rapid prototyper.

the ‘oil flask’ contains a silicone rubber bladder that prevents olive oil from degrading in natural light it creates an unexpected but humorous wobble movement when used
