I received these products for my review. All opinions are my own.

Zoku is known for our housewares. But really, we’re in the thinking business. We put the fun in functional with innovative, easy-to-use, well-designed products. Zoku means family in Japanese. The definition goes beyond creating family memories around our products, it speaks to our culture. Our office—which we designed from scratch—is our playground.

Located in the heart of Hoboken, New Jersey, our space is where creativity runs wild, risks are encouraged, and possibilities are infinite. We’re inspired by the world around us, getting our hands dirty with prototypes and learning by collaborating, building, tasting, and exploring. Our large test kitchen is the backdrop of tasting new recipes, bouncing ideas back and forth, and often where we all gather to eat our lunches.

It all started with a seemingly simple idea: what if we could make popsicles freeze faster? And after months of research, testing, and prototypes, our Quick Pop Maker was born. We knew we were on to something and soon, Williams-Sonoma agreed, picking us up for their holiday season.

Design is at the heart of everything we do, from product innovation to packaging to our office supplies. Zoku designs have been included in collections at The Henry Ford, the Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design, and thousands of kitchen counters across the world. Our proudest accolades include a handful of really touching letters from our customers, but we’ve also been recognized by the Industrial Designer’s Society of America as an IDEA finalist (not to mention a Silver and Bronze recipient), a GOOD Design Award, mentions on Wired.com, and a National Parenting Seal of Approval.

ICED COFFEE MAKER

$29.99

Turn piping hot coffee or tea into a delicious chilled beverage in as little as five minutes. Don’t let ice dilute your favorite flavor, just store your stainless steel mug in your freezer, add it to the insulating sleeve, pour your beverage and snap the lid on tight. This travel mug is spill resistant with a sipping straw that makes it ideal for drinking on the go.

DUO QUICK POP MAKER

$36.99

It takes two to Zoku with the Zoku Duo Quick Pop Maker. Enjoy the same size pops as the original Quick Pop Maker and freeze them just as fast—making up to six pops before refreezing the unit. This size is perfect for couples, students, smaller families or as an addition to the original Quick Pop Maker for larger groups.

Hello, my name is Joanna, and I am obsessed with Zoku!! =) Seriously, I cannot get enough of their products.

I was able to review their Duo Quick Pop Maker and their Iced Coffee Maker… both are genius! Do you know why? They don’t make you WAIT! I love that! I looooove iced coffee on a hot summer day! There are just a couple of problems- either you specially make it, and then have a huge pot of coffee taking up space in your fridge, or you brew it regular and wait for it to cool off, then throw ice in with it so that by the time you drink half of it, it’s all watered down. Boo.

Enter Zoku! All you have to do is put the iced coffee maker in the freezer. And then pour piping hot coffee in. In literally 2 minutes you have freezing cold coffee, full strength. AMAZING. I seriously cannot say enough. It really does turn it cold right away- it’s absolutely a must have for any coffee drinker.

We also LOVED the quick pop maker! I enjoy making Popsicles and freezies for my guys, but usually I either make some and we can’t wait for them to freeze and they are still half liquid when I take them out, or else I make some and then we forget about them and then they just take up space in the freezer until I throw them out. No more with Zoku! You can literally watch your pops freeze, and eat them within minutes of pouring. Yes, please!
