Simple, stylish, and impossible to shatter, the Oneida Astrid collection of serveware and barware has a thoroughly contemporary appeal. Crafted from 18/8 stainless steel--18 percent chrome for corrosion-resistance and 8 percent nickel for sheen--the line is both durable and beautiful. Its softly glowing, brushed finish never needs polishing, and the pieces have a substantial but not excessive weight.
Coffee may be an age-old art, but serving it in this 4-piece Astrid coffee set makes every sip feel up to the minute. In spite of their sleek appearance, both the 32-ounce hinged pot and 8-ounce creamer are comfortable to handle and easy to pour with. Their elongated shapes echo each other in design and are handsomely offset by the low-slung appearance of the lidded sugar bowl. All pieces fit tidily on the 13-inch square tray, with room left over for coffee mugs and spoons. Like the rest of the Astrid line, the set is safe in the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard
