Brainstream - PiepEi Sirene / Character Collection / No.6

In the beginning was the egg. The PiepEi. It's actually a classic utilitarian object. It is amusing, but in principle a means to an end. Namely, to be able to enjoy a consistently good breakfast egg anytime, anywhere. But it is also cult. Thus came the idea of a design series. Designed by young and dynamic artists who reflect the spirit of the times. But in the end, it's all about the egg again. It should taste. Cooked to the point. Just store it with the eggs, cook it together with the eggs and wait until the PiepEi siren sings. No matter what water temperature you start with and no matter what level you cook at, the egg will be perfect.
 
Enjoy your meal.
 
DESIGNED BY CHRISTÓBAL SCHMAL
 
Cristóbal Schmal's contribution is called Sirene and is a small mobile ocean. The idea for PiepEi Siren comes from Greek mythology, which says that sirens are female mythical creatures that lure fishermen with beguiling song in order to kill them. Don't worry, the parallels stop with the singing mythical creature. You are also lured, but to pick up the perfectly cooked egg.

PiepEi Character Edition No.3 plays three different meldoies for different degrees of hardness:

    "The Wild Rover" for perfectly soft-boiled eggs.
    "Rolling Home" for perfectly cooked medium soft eggs
    "Drunken Sailor" for perfectly hard boiled eggs

This "milestone" in the history of egg timers is a real perennial favorite and popular gift at any time of year.

Brainstream

BRAINSTREAM is a German manufacturer of “fun & functional” gifts.  The products are creative, funny and all have a high-t[egg] function and unique feature. This mix of solving a problem and causing a laugh makes them ideal gifts.
Everything started in 2000. Dr. Rupprecht Gabriel, a German engineer and entrepreneur, was annoyed by his poorly boiled breakfast eggs.

“Sometimes they were too hard, sometimes too runny, but rarely the way I like them to be”.  His aim was to spare himself that frustration. BRAINSTREAM’s founder and general manager wanted do invent a product, which did the work for him. The result was BeepEgg® - a singing and floating egg-timer. The first BRAINSTREAM product. Then, Gabriel formed a creative team, coming from different backgrounds, to start BRAINSTREAM as an enterprise.
Not a huge assortment, but a small, strong portfolio with products which fit the claim “fun & function” is the goal of the small, family run company. Funny and functional that is our product’s aim. Never simple gimmics or gadgets.

Made in Germany

The small, family run business stands for quality “made in Germany”. Not only is the design and distribution  based in Germany, but also production. This takes place in BRAINSTREAM’s home base in Bielefeld. Even almost all components are purchased from suppliers nearby. Quality and flexibility are essential for BRAINSTREAM products and short lead times can be counted on.
