Minimalist Staunton Alternative: The 3.8" Bundesform German Chess Pieces

This one’s an alternative to the traditional Staunton chessmen that feels different, yet conforms to the tournament standards. The set of Bundesform chess pieces emerged in Germany during the 1930s. Representing a classic European silhouette, it gained international fame during the 1936 Munich Chess Olympiad.

The Bundesform (Federal Form) features a clean visual and highly functional design. Stripping the fragile, ornate details, these pieces are carefully proportioned to offer durability, clarity, and a smooth playing experience. Each piece is handcrafted by master artisans from Ebonised boxwood (dark side) and natural boxwood (light side). Chess players, collectors, and historians seeking distinctive tournament chess equipment continue to admire this set even today.

Key Features

  • Historical Authenticity: A reproduction of the classic German tournament chess style, based on the early 20th-century European heritage
  • Distinct Staunton Alternative: A simplified, robust design with the iconic, unadorned knight makes this set incredibly durable for rapid, blitz, and heavy club games.
  • Premium Hardwoods: Handcrafted from high-quality Boxwood (natural and ebonized) to create the authentic Ebony look with exceptional structural integrity
  • Tournament-Ready Proportions: The 3.8-inch King with a wide 1.4-inch base offers an excellent board presence for serious games and extended analysis sessions
  • Ready for Promotion: The two extra queens (34 pieces total) allow for seamless pawn promotion during competitive matches

  • Tournament & Club Play: Practical proportions (compliant with tournament standards) support competitive gameplay environments
  • Chess Collectors of Historians: Highly sought-after design for chess enthusiasts interested in the early 20th-century European heritage

Easy homemade ice cream for one or 2
Color: Aqua, Size: 2 Bowls
Works really well. This is great for when you want 1 or 2 servings of a little frozen yogurt or other frozen treat. The recipe booklet gives a good idea of the ratios you need, so you can make your own recipe or use one of theirs. I found it freezes pretty quickly, usually before the 20 minutes it says to plan on. Happy with this purchase.

ONE At A Time now
Color: Aqua, Size: 2 Bowls
Thankful I bought two sets for this family of 4. Quite inconvenient to be able to make 2 people their ice cream while 2 others wait (or change their mind while waiting) Makes no sense why this set comes with ONE CHURN. Recipe booklet was minimal I got more from YouTube. Lids should come with the kit not separate. It was exciting to make yet disappointing we had to take turns and couldn't work together all at once. Ice cream was good, soft serve preferred.

Small Investment with Great Results
Color: Aqua, Size: 2 Bowls, Color: Aqua, Size: 2 Bowls
I'm just getting into making ice cream at home and after doing weeks of exhaustive research, including probably 100 hours of YouTube videos (I know, I have a problem, but the research is for me a big part of the fun), I was ready to set my budget at between $200 and $400 for a compressor ice cream machine. Then I ran across this Dash My Cup Set. I returned to YouTube and after just a few videos I decided that for a small fraction of my initial budget I could "get my feet wet" with the My Cup. Another deciding factor was that the Freezer Mugs were small enough to not sacrifice too much of my freezer space. I've made several batches of ice cream using both the included recipes and some I have found online and I must say, the results have been fabulous. Sure the finished ice cream right out of the machine is a soft serve consistency but after a couple of hours in the freezer you will have ice cream firm enough to form excellent scoops. Just be sure to follow good recipes otherwise you may end up with ice cream hard as a rock. So learning a bit about the science of ice cream is critical for good results. Although the portion size is small, it's actually bigger than I expected. I'm an ice cream lover and sure, polishing off the entire batch in one sitting is no problem but, I am definitely satisfied with the amount. And if you opt for the Set with the extra mug, you'll always have a mug ready for your next batch. Definitely the way to go in my opinion. The My Mug is very well made (as are most of the Dash products of which I have an Egg Cooker and a Waffle Iron) and the motor will turn the dasher through the thickest of recipes. If you overload with mix-ins it might run into difficulties but otherwise you're good to go. Will the My Mug be the "end game" ice cream machine? Probably not. But for a small investment I can experiment with different recipes and see where this new found hobby takes me. And even if I do get a larger, fancier and more expensive machine in the future, I will probably keep the My Mug anyway to test out new flavors. This way I can see what I like without wasting too many ingredients.

Not bad for an inexpensive ice cream maker
Color: Aqua, Size: 2 Bowls
For something this cheap, it’s definitely not that bad. The directions are easy to follow but I went and put the ice cream in the freezer for at least 30 mins more to cool the ice cream to the perfect consistency and it turned out great! After I made vanilla ice cream from the recipe in the book, I started concocting my own recipes and everything has turned out yummy!
