A History of Braun Design, Part 4: Kitchen Appliances
I am the proud owner of a Braun KM3 food mixer. My mother bought it before I was born in 1964 and it is still in regular use. I've not found anything better. Looking at the various coffee mill designs none of them would look dated in a domestic appliance showroom today.
The sleek all white carafe for the KF70 & KF80 12 cup coffee maker although it looks like an insulated thermos jug, is actually also a glass carafe with an all plastic outer housing. The bottom is clear glass. An insulated thermos jug would have been a great alternative to the standard glass carafe. I am still searching for the sane sleek all white carafe for the KF172 (1995) & a later metallic green version KF178 (2001). I prefer & collect the all white versions but I am curious if these also were available in black.
Can you, by any chance, tell me when Braun first introduced their immersion blender to the US market?
If you mean the Braun MR 6 designed by Ludwig Littman, it was from 1981.
Love Braun and these designs are wonderful, BUT the KM 32 Kitchen Machine has a fault!
