Never open the wrong bottle of wine with the Dacor WineStation

The Dacor Discovery DYWS4 WineStation lets users pick and choose to find the perfect glass for the moment.

Wine requires a commitment, but it is not pricey bottles or expensive wine cellars that comprise the whole equation. Luckily, the other side of the equation is the good side: actually drinking the wine. However, that brings up another consideration: which bottle to open and drink? Or one could take the safe route and cover all the bases by opening more than one.

The Dacor Discovery DYWS4 WineStation allows for opened bottles of wine to be stored and preserved for up to 60 days. The home wine-serving station uses argon gas to stop oxygenation and allow opened wine bottles to be tapped and always available with a press of a button (and a glass). The unit measures about 20 inches across, stands less than 30 inches tall, and has a depth of 16 inches. It can be used in a standalone countertop configuration or it could be installed as a built-in. (So yes, some commitment required; not to mention its approximately $5K price tag.)

Regardless of where the wine appliance resides, the dispensing system is designed to mimic restaurant-quality machines. A programmable display offers users the ability to show wine type, year, and varietal, while the thermoelectric cooling system keeps bottles chilled to 30 degrees below room temperature. As seen above with the decision to build in or not, it is not entirely a commitment-free operation when up and running -- you still have to decide which one to drink.

A coffeemaker for every day of the week

The Hamilton Beach (Model 49983) Two-Way Deluxe Coffeemaker makes coffee for home or to-go.

(Credit: Hamilton Beach)

Coffee might not be essential to life (although the jury is still out on that one), but it does show up every day of the week. The ubiquitous brown beverage that supplies a caffeinated jolt to imbibers can be enjoyed seemingly in a million different ways. However, before the cream and the sugar quandary comes up, how to brew it must first be addressed.

The Hamilton Beach (Model 49983) Two-Way Deluxe Coffeemaker ($99.99; available in August) is actually even more versatile than the name would imply. While true that the coffeemaker is designed to brew into either a travel mug or a full-sized carafe, it varies the possibilities by extending the capabilities on the to-go side of the appliance; either ground coffee or K-cups can be used to brew a single serving.

When the weekend finally rolls around and things slow down, the countertop appliance converts to a full 12-cup coffeemaker with nothing more than a turn of the dial. Understanding that timing is everything, the single cup side can deliver a brew in as few as 2.5 minutes, while the carafe side is programmable for up to 24 hours in advance and has an auto-shut-off feature just in case the snooze button wins a few times.

BBQ Dragon can light a grill fire in 10 minutes or less

Could the BBQ Dragon make a clunky charcoal experience a thing of the past?

(Credit: BBQ Dragon)

Sadly, I find it easier to build a computer than a kick off a successful grill fire. The up-and-coming BBQ Dragon could be the breath of fresh air -- literally -- to change my poor fire-starting fortune.

Essentially working the same way as a fan, the cordless BBQ Dragon shoots a large amount of cool air into a fire and accelerates the burning process. The stainless steel device, which has a variable air speed controller and flexible arm, easily clips onto the side of a grill or smoker. The designers say the Dragon works great with bonfires, the Big Green Egg, wood stoves, and more.

Recharging the Dragon seems simple enough, as it comes supplied with four AA rechargeable batteries and a micro-USB slot for easy juicing. The BBQ Dragon appears to have caught fire on the crowdfunding Web site Kickstarter, as the endeavor already captured more than $51,000 in funding from supporters. Interested backers can reserve their own BBQ Dragon for $42.

Buycott app lets you vote with your wallet in the supermarket

Know where your consumer dollars go with the free Buycott app.

(Credit: Buycott)

Supermarkets are labyrinthine behemoths laid out in a convenient linear fashion. So where's the maze? On the supermarket shelves, of course. Food products galore stare back at us, silently appealing to our penchants for sugar, salt, and fat. We pick and choose, knowing full well what we are getting into. But it's the hidden components that are increasingly becoming a salient issue.

If supermarket shelves are overwhelming due to the sheer diversity of items, imagine the corporate structure behind the packaging. Or don't; just let your phone do it. Scan any bar code (UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13...) with your phone and the free Buycott app (for iOS; a previously available Android version is now "Coming soon") will display the product's corporate family tree on the screen. The app takes knowing where your food comes from further, telling you not only what brand belongs to what company, but what that company does with your dollars.

Pulling back the curtain on corporate activity should be an easy process. For example, GMO labeling is an important issue that many aren't even aware of. (Check out Prop 37 for an introduction to both sides of the debate.)

Currently, the government doesn't require that any GMO information be passed on to the consumer. Big food corporations want it to stay that way. Monsanto, for example, spends millions of dollars to keep GMO information off of packaging. How much? Buycott will tell you.

• NASA experimenting with 3D printing for space exploration

Importantly, and promisingly, users can join campaigns (both for and against) issues that they care about. The app keeps track of user input, making it easy to shop for products that don't conflict with your beliefs. And this is what it is all about: knowing where your food comes from and where the dollars that buy it go.

If initial reaction is any gauge then it would appear this is something that consumers have been waiting for. There have been some negative user reviews as Buycott has been struggling to deal with the traffic. However, it's worth keeping an eye on, just like your grocery basket.

App-controlled robot bartender debuts at Google I/O

Now this is better than anything even the Jetsons had.

(Credit: Screenshot by Eric Mack/CNET)

It won't console you as you drown your sorrows in alcohol, but MIT's Makr Shakr robotic bartender can make exactly the drink you're looking for before you've even arrived at the bar.

MIT's Senseable City Lab teamed up with Coca-Cola and Bacardi Rum to bring Makr Shakr to Google I/O, which starts Wednesday in San Francisco. The system allows barflies and frazzled developers alike to personalize their cocktail recipe of choice via a smartphone app, or to choose a libation created by another user, creating a crowdsourced drink menu.

"The system explores the new dynamics of social creation and consumption -- 'design, make, and enjoy' -- allowing users to design their own cocktail creations, while digitally controlled machines transform these designs into reality," Carlo Ratti, director of the MIT Senseable City Lab, said in an e-mail.

Once an order is placed via the app, three robotic arms serve up the drink using movements that mimic the real-world action of an uber-graceful bartender -- Makr Shakr's movements are modeled on the gestures of Italian dancer Roberto Bolle, along with director and choreographer Marco Pelle.

Watch Makr Shakr in action in the video below and let us know in the comments what drink you'd order from it if given the chance. I'm wondering if it could resurrect Crystal Pepsi from the ashes of the cola wars. Oh wait, this is a part of a Coca-Cola partnership. Never mind.

Zoku slows it down with Mini Pop Molds

The Zoku Mini Pop Molds use flexible silicone for easy-release frozen treat enjoyment.

(Credit: Zoku)

The inside of the refrigerator is no place for fast food. Aside from the fridge gnome who turns the light on and off when the door is opened and closed, it is pretty slow in there. Of course, this is exactly how we want it; it's nice to be able to look inside and find the dairy and the lunch meat where you left it (not counting housemate intervention). Zoku, of quick-pop-maker fame, understands that sometimes it's OK to slow down.

The Zoku Mini Pop Molds ($16.99) are part of Zoku's "Slow Pops" line. (The others are Round Pop Molds and Classic Pop Molds.) Picking up where traditional molds let off, the small contraption (it measures 9.75 inches by 6.75 inches and stands a squat 3 inches tall) is composed of a base and comes with fitted "sticks," complete with drip guards. What sets it apart is what hides underneath.

Each of the nine molds cradles frozen pops with flexible silicone. When it's time to eat one, the silicone inverts as the frozen treat is extracted. Unlike old-fashioned molds, there is no need to hold the base under running water. The result is homemade frozen treats that don't require any wrestling with equipment to enjoy -- although you will have to wait as they freeze.

Archos ChefPad tablet: Now you're cooking with Android

It's like a much quieter Gordon Ramsey.

(Credit: Archos)

My poor iPad has survived flour, oil, lemon juice, and countless other kitchen mishaps. Maybe it's time I look a little more seriously at a dedicated kitchen computer. My options have just expanded with the arrival of the Archos ChefPad, an Android tablet built to handle the rigors of the cooking life.

The ChefPad is a full-blown 10-inch Android tablet running Jelly Bean with a 1.6GHz processor and 1GB of RAM behind it. There are the usual front and back cameras, in case you want to launch your own online cooking show. What makes it kitchen-specific are the preloaded cooking apps and easy-to-clean case.

The silicone case adds a layer of protection from flying butter and splashes of scrambled eggs. What's a little more unique is a selection of vetted cooking apps called Chef App. It filters through all the top options available from Google Play and delivers them in one spot. Think of it as a launchpad for all your recipes, tools, drink concoctions, how-to videos, and shopping apps.

• 2013: The year the smart kitchen finally arrives?

Typical of Archos products, the price point isn't too much of a deterrent, coming in at $209.99. The ChefPad will be available starting in June. Despite the kitchen customizations, it still operates like a regular tablet, so you can slip it out of its case and play games or surf the Web like normal.

I generally like the idea of having a kitchen-specific tablet that you don't have to worry too much about coddling or keeping clean. I do think there is an opportunity here to create celebrity chef versions. I would love to see a Gordon Ramsey ChefPad that yells at you while you cook, or an Emeril Lagasse ChefPad that screams "Bam!" at random moments. That would certainly add an element of excitement to slaving away over a hot stove.
