Technivorm Moccamaster KBT Coffee Maker

This iconic design consistently came first in our taste tests. It’s a reliable workhorse with a 40-ounce capacity that brews a nuanced, flavorful pot. It comes with an insulated carafe and a unique filter basket switch that adjusts the steep time.

Other things to know: Lacks extra features from our other picks, like timers or complex settings, but coffee connoisseurs will appreciate the taste. Pricey, but much longer warranty (5 years) and Moccamaster’s reputation for longevity make it a worthwhile investment.

Nespresso Vertuo Plus

If convenience and caffeine are your main concerns when it comes to your morning coffee, then the Nespresso VertuoPlus is the perfect machine. With an automatic lid and one-button operation, it is effortless to use and can brew 5-ounce espressos, gran lungos, and standard 8-ounce cups of coffee.

Other things to know: Mugs are unstable on the drip tray. We didn’t like the coffee, but it was still a big step up from Keurig’s. Only uses Vertuo pods, which cost more than original pods. For sale in grey.

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

This smart oven performs as well as an air fryer as it does a toaster oven, offering specific settings for dehydrating, rising, and slow cooking. In our tests, food crisped up faster than traditional toaster ovens. It also has a generous capacity for two racks and offers multiple fan speeds.

Other things to know: Even on sale, significantly more expensive than our other picks. The fan speed of “Super Convection” is incredibly loud. Bread did not toast as evenly as other choices. We prefer a pizza stone to the included non-stick pizza pan. Matches the lowest price we’ve seen.

Cuisinart Core Custom 4-Cup Mini Chopper

This compact workhorse cuts well and is roomier than other options we tested. It offers two holes for frustration-free drizzling, and the button design is similar to that of large food processors, making it easy to operate.

Other things to know: A mini chopper does not replace a full model. Has difficulty dicing herbs effectively, tearing rather than cutting cleanly and evenly. Clip out the coupon on the page for the deal price.

Ooni Koda 16 gas pizza oven

Enjoy quick and delicious pizza this season with an outdoor oven that lights up with the turn of a dial. Not only is it roomy, but it can bake an obscene number of pies on one tank of propane. During our testing, it reached a maximum temperature of 890°F and reliably outperformed all the others we tried.

Other things to know: Also makes a great gift for fathers, wedding registries and more. An expensive, specialized cooking appliance. The best deal we’ve seen outside of occasional Costco sales.

Thermapen ONE thermometer

Prepare for Turkey Day with the fastest and most accurate instant-read model we’ve tested. It has a bright, rotating backlit screen and a wide temperature range. Moreover, it is waterproof, buttonless and fully automatic.

Other things to know: The sales price has recently increased. There are few recipes that require immediate accuracy to the degree. The switch to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit is inconveniently located in the battery compartment. Deal available in red, green, white and a handful of other colors. Shipping is free.
