THE INVENTIVE NATURE OF BACK TO BASICS
At Back to Basics ® , we value the input of our company’s associates. As we
design and improve upon the many kitchen products found in homes today,
we meet regularly to bring new ideas to the surface. It is in this light that the
AutoServe Smoothie Maker was designed and brought to market.
For the past two years, Back to Basics Design Engineer Claude Brandt has been
an energetic force at Back to Basics. His ideas have landed him the coveted
title of “patent-holder,” which he humbly admits is one of the reasons he enjoys
being an inventor.
With the help of Eric Hales, another vital member of Back to Basics’ Design
Team, the two engineers worked tirelessly to create a new smoothie maker with
enhanced features and improved functionality that results in delicious, thick
smoothies every time. The AutoServe Smoothie Maker, with its revolutionary
auto-powered dispensing valve, represents their combined pursuit of design
excellence and resulted only after hundreds of smoothies, icy drinks and creamy
shakes were made…to perfection!
