    Hi Samir,
    I don't remember that I sent out our product introduction mail to you company or not, bcz we are now promoting a unique product called, "Donut Dripper" from Japan. You may see couple of pictures on my page.
    This dripper has been well received from the popular specialty coffeehouse in Los Angeles and New YorK. They are now planing to use this dripper at store as well as selling the product at store.
    Mr. James Hoffmann 2007, WBC champion also really liked this product too.
    Since the Japanese yen are still strong vs $, the price may little high, but if you have an interest, I can send it for your trial as free.
    Please let's me know.

    Thanks
    Stewart
