Short of hiring an in-house barista, this is the best way we know to get a delicious, fit-to-your-specifications coffee drink every morning before leaving for work. There are a lot of amazing espresso makers out there, but some may only do only that—make espresso—which leaves you with the need to buy lots of other accessories and crowd your countertop just to make a cappuccino. 

This machine has a burr grinder and milk frother all in one, so you can make any of your favorite coffee drinks from start to finish without having to plug in one more thing. It has manual and automatic options so if you’re a borderline barista or just an expert in drinking pre-made coffee, you’ll be able to enjoy this to the fullest. If you start feeling nostalgic about your old coffee-buying days, feel free to write your name on your cup (preferably spelled wrong). We won’t judge.

There are a lot of Vitamix models on the market today, so it can be hard to decide which option is best for you. We love this one for the high tech features, including wireless connectivity (which automatically gauges and adjusts settings for the container size) and touchscreen buttons.

No matter how bad your pizza craving gets, two minutes is a mind-blowingly short amount of time to achieve a lovely charred crust.

But wait, it gets even more amazing. The presets allow you to choose the type of pizza you want, so whether you’re starting from frozen or you’re baking a deep-dish pizza, New York-style, thin and crispy or wood fired, you can get your dream pie. From your own kitchen. In your PJ’s.

Remember when the Keurig first came out and everyone was amazed by the simplicity of making a great cup of coffee with no effort? The Bartesian is now doing the same thing for adult beverages—taking all the guess-work out of making perfectly balanced cocktails. For those of us who would rather not be bothered lifting a finger to measure and pour our own Old Fashioned, this machine does it for us.

You simply place one of the cocktail pods in the machine (choose from margaritas, cosmopolitans, whiskey sours, and more), select your preferred strength (mocktail, light, regular or strong), press the button and voila—a perfectly mixed cocktail every time. Do you need this countertop appliance? Maybe not, but that’s what makes it the perfect luxury item.

Do you love the idea of making pasta from scratch but not the idea of actually physically doing it? Many of us feel the same way, which is why the Avance is the perfect tool—it allows us to create homemade pasta in fifteen minutes, but without having to mix the ingredients, knead the dough or cut the pasta into shapes. So maybe it’s not completely homemade, but once you pour in your water and flour and put your favorite pasta disc on the end, you’re able to create fresh noodles on your own.

This gadget is the perfect appliance for wowing dinner party guests, which you can easily do by showcasing different options like penne, fettucini, or spaghetti and add in your own flavorings or coloring for a little added personalization. This machine works just as well for a pasta night for one, which is about to become more frequent.
