1. De’Longhi La Specialista Arte Espresso Machine with Grinder

For anyone who's interested in beginning (or mastering!) their barista journey, the De'Longhi La Specialista Arte can help them hone their skills. This manual espresso machine produces full-bodied, crema-topped espresso shots, and it features a high-quality steam wand that rivals that of a coffee shop. It's easy to achieve café-grade lattes and cappuccinos from the comfort of home with this stunning machine.

2. Cuisinart Food Processor

A reliable food processor is a must in any cook's kitchen. We love the Cuisinart because it's a workhorse—able to mince herbs, shred cheese, and even roll pizza dough into an elastic ball without any effort. Although this machine comes with an ultra basic design and no bells and whistles, that makes it particularly great for beginners and no-fuss home cooks.

3. Cuisinart PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle

We've tested a lot of electric kettles and this one tops our list. With six preset heat settings between 160°F and 212°F, the Cuisinart PerfecTemp electric kettle heats water precisely for everything from green tea to instant coffee. We like it for its easily discernible, intuitive buttons, Keep Warm mode, and boil-dry protection, which means it won’t boil if there's no water present. It boiled water in just five minutes during our testing and holds 1.7 liters so you won't have to refill the kettle every time you refresh your tea.

4. Beast Blender

Anyone who wants to ramp up their wellness routine in the new year would be much more excited about to get started if they had the beautiful Beast Blender. This influencer-famous blender is pretty enough to keep as a countertop mainstay. But more than just a pretty face, this personal blender excelled during testing, delivering silky smoothies in a snap.

5. Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer

This all-in-one multicooker is like having a mini sous chef in the kitchen. Beyond typical multicooker tasks—like cooking rice, making yogurt, and pressure cooking—the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer can also air fry foods excellently. And it comes with a built-in temperature probe for cooking meat to your ideal doneness. Perhaps the most convenient feature we enjoyed using is the Steam & Crisp function, which allows you to cook multiple layers of food (think protein, grains, and veggies) at once, achieving optimal results in record time.

6. Instant Pot Milk Frother

When we tested the Instant Pot milk frother, we were impressed with its ability to froth different types of milk, both cold and hot. In addition to being versatile, it was also the most reasonably priced. Whether you're looking to skip the coffee shop and brew your own tasty java drinks at home or you need a gift for your always-caffeinated friend, grab our favorite milk frother for barista-approved foam.

7. KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer

Serious bakers and casual home cooks alike would benefit from this iconic countertop appliance. The KitchenAid Artisan Series Stand Mixer is a staple for a reason. It excelled at practically every task we threw at it during testing: Kneading bread dough, whipping egg whites, and mixing cookie dough with impressive speed and without stalling or rocking on the countertop. Plus, it comes in a rainbow of different colors to suit any kitchen aesthetic.

8. Ninja Speedi Rapid Cooker & Air Fryer

The best air fryer we've ever tested, the Ninja Speedi remains our top pick for achieving peak crispy foods at home. Everything from homemade "fried" chicken to frozen French fries came out with a texture that was akin to deep-fried foods.

This appliance goes beyond just crisping foods, though. It's a multicooker that can steam, bake, slow cook, sear, sous vide, and more. Our favorite feature on this machine was the Speedi Meals function, which allows you to cook an entire meal (think rice, veggies, and chicken) at the same time in just 30 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights!

9. Technivorm Moccamaster

Any coffee lover would be elated to unwrap a Technivorm Moccamaster. This isn't a typical coffee machine; the Moccamaster is crafted by hand in the Netherlands and uses a unique burst technique to bloom coffee grounds before it starts brewing. The result is distinctively full-bodied coffee that rivals the flavor of tedious pour-over coffee (without the work). It tops our list of the best drip coffee makers available, and it's rarely on sale!

10. Our Place Wonder Oven

This adorable countertop oven has a vintage style and comes in several trendy colors (in typical Our Place fashion). But it's more than just about looks: This little machine can tackle a variety of kitchen tasks, from toasting bread and air frying fries to steam-baking fish and even roasting a whole chicken. Despite its small footprint, the Wonder Oven boasts a decent capacity and features two rack positions for multitasking (a must during the holidays).

11. Ninja Extended Life Premium Ceramic 9-Piece Cookware Set

When we had a chef test this Ninja Ceramic Cookware Set, she was impressed by its durable design and consistently nonstick interior—especially given its affordable price. This set is a great gift idea for anyone into the idea of ceramic, PFAS-free cookware because it includes all the staples, sears well, and is oven-safe.
