Best of Three: Cream & Sugar Servers from DWR

Entertaining guests? Which coffee (or tea) accroutements would you choose from Design Within Reach's Tools for Living store? Survey below the jump...

Perfect for your high-end diner: Maillard Cream Dispenser ($50) & Maillart Sugar Dispenser ($50) — both made of stainless steel alloy, Cromargan, and glass with a rubber ring.

The very small Maillard Cream and Sugar Set ($70, includes spoon and tray) is described as "discreet" — made of stainless steel alloy, Cromargan.

And the largest, but least expensive Cream and Sugar Set with Tray ($35) — made of stoneware with acacia wood lid.

IKEA used to make a dispenser exactly like the Maillard and I love it. It would dispense teaspoon of sugar with each tip.

I would spend $5 on the equivalent products at Ikea and spend the rest of the money on a lavish brunch for my guests.

I thought this was another IKEA post. Either IKEA is doing great or DWR needs to try harder. . .

I was going to say the same thing, i bought that exact sugar spout dispenser for 4 dollars. I appreciate dwr for trying to bring good products to our everyday life, but that markup is ridiculous.

I think you mean "accoutrements". And yes, I agree that Ikea does equally cute stuff for way less.

I think these matching sets are sort of old-lady. Who actually has these things sitting around?I
