Interesting (but quite technical) discussion by the panel of med-tech experts at today's American Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the beautiful National Wine Centre.

How could Brazil’s and Chile’s World Coffee Championship wins influence the wider industry? The magnitude of Latin Americans winning both the 2023 WBC and WBrC is significant – and clearly shows the key role that coffee professionals from Latin America play in pushing specialty coffee forward.

The recipes for our spirits are imagined in Balagne. All our research is focused on the plants that surround us. Distillation offers endless possibilities. When we create our recipes, our goal is to embody as faithfully as possible the essence of the plants we want to use, to extract their complexity and purity. Although the distillation is not currently carried out on site, our goal is to be able to produce our spirits on our land in San Rocco in the years to come.

Thirty years ago, Stella Liebeck purchased hot coffee from a McDonald's restaurant, accidentally spilled it in her lap, and suffered third-degree burns. Liebeck sought to settle with McDonald's for $20,000 to cover her medical expenses. When McDonald's refused, Liebeck's attorney filed suit in the U.S., and the jury awarded her nearly three million dollars, though they eventually settled for $600,000. In response, McDonald’s reduced the coffee temperature from 90°C to around 70°C and added a warning on the lids. While these measures reduce lawsuit risks, they also result in lukewarm coffee and unnoticed warnings. For those who prefer hot coffee without the risk of burns, more inventive solutions were needed. Is it possible to actually use the coffee's high temperature to reduce the risk of burns? This is where we apply SIT's Qualitative Change condition, which requires turning a harmful element into a neutral or beneficial one. Smart lids offer a more elegant solution: a lid that changes colour based on the liquid's temperature. When the lid is introduced to a hot beverage with a high temperature, the lid turns red, clearly indicating the risk. The Qualitative Change condition can be applied in two ways: (1) Reversal means that as the harmful element intensifies, the undesired phenomenon decreases. (2) Elimination means the undesired phenomenon no longer depends on the harmful element. Smart lids use Reversal: the hotter the coffee, the more noticeable the warning, reducing the risk of burns. This condition introduces a surprising and elegant element to the solution. Properly implemented, the harmful factor becomes either irrelevant or helpful in solving the problem. Have you considered exploring the problem space rather than the solution space? This approach leads to inventive and simple solutions by altering the correlation between the harmful element and the undesired phenomenon. #QualitativeChange #InnovativeSolutions #ProductDesign #ProblemSolving #SIT #InventiveThinking https://lnkd.in/e_iuyHGj

Wine Private Label & New Projects At Tastry, we recommend focusing on producing wines that cater to specific consumer palate profiles, using the resources you have, rather than trying to emulate others. 🍷 Wine is an agricultural product: Natural variables such as grape sourcing, weather, terroir, will highly influence it and make it impossible to replicate a competitor’s wine. 🍇 Our approach centers on understanding the unique characteristics of your wine and identifying consumers who will appreciate it, instead of targeting a predefined flavor profile. ✅ Tastry offers tools to create more appealing and distinctive wine, ensuring they stand out in a competitive marketplace. 🏅 This concept and much more are discussed by our CEO, Katerina Axelsson in the podcast below. 💡 https://lnkd.in/gQSwKXEy #wine #wineindustry #tastry #AI
