Are there any tests I can do at home with the Stirwands?
Yes – Here are several that are included in a “White Paper” written by Exavier Phoenix in 2006: Test #1 Select two identical 8 oz glasses and fill with good water from the same source. Place them on a table or counter top not less than 12 inches apart. Stir one with a 24/7 Stirwand for 20 seconds and then compare the two for variations in quality. Do this as if you were judging fine wine. Swish the water around on the pallet and hold for several seconds before swallowing. Several people may be involved with this type of test in double and triple blind formats, hence the identical glasses. Typical results of this test: The stirred water tastes better, is less filling and more viscous, yet lighter, almost airy, to the pallet. Test #2 Brew very strong coffee and pour into two mugs situated on a table or counter top, no less than 12 inches apart. Do not add sugar or milk. Select one mug as the “stir mug” and stir with a Gourmet wand for 30 seconds. Compare for variations in taste/quality.
