Most parents have spent at least one night frantically searching for a clean bottle, mixing and heating formula, and then waiting for the liquid meal to cool to the proper temperature—all while trying to soothe a hungry infant. Nestlé, the company that’s built its Nespresso home espresso makers into a $3.9 billion business, thinks it has a way to help: a little Nespresso just for junior.
The Swiss company’s new BabyNes machine heats capsules of Nestlé formula, eliminating the clumps that can form when mixing powdered formula, and then dispenses a precise amount into a waiting bottle. It can be operated with one hand, leaving the other free to deal with a fretting child.
