Cuisinart 50th Anniversary Edition 14-cup Food Processor
Cuisinart revolutionized home cooking with the Cuisinart Food Processor, shown to the U.S. market for the first time at IHS (then called the National Housewares Show) in 1973. Fifty years later, the brand is back to celebrate.
Cusinart partnered with Williams-Sonoma on this limited-edition version of the original classic — iconic tinted bowl and all — that was released last year. The 50th anniversary edition may have a fully retro look, including the classic logo and paddle controls, but it's packed with all the features today's cooks want: a generous 14-cup bow, 720W motor, and a set of sharp, capable discs and a blade that can puree, chop, grind and shred with ease.

Aeropress GoPlus
Campers and travelers seeking to upgrade their morning joe have long turned to Aeropress—a portable, no-plug-required coffee brewing system that delivers a smooth and flavorful coffee with a distinct espresso or French press feel. Of all the portable coffee makers around, we liked the Aeropress Go, a more compact, lightweight version of the original Aeropress, for its ease of use and portability. The new Aeropress GoPlus builds on the same hand-operated pressure technology as the original with a functional upgrade: Instead of a standard travel cup, the GoPlus brews directly into an 18/8 double-wall vacuum-insulated travel tumbler with a magnetic splash-resistant lid, so you and your java are both good to go in a matter of minutes.

Doughbed by Sourhouse

The Doughbed, a glass cradle that Sourhouse says helps home cooks efficiently and consistently proof their loaves.
Sourhouse from Kitchen Electrics has unveiled its latest innovation for the sourdough obsessed: The Doughbed, a glass cradle that Sourhouse says helps home cooks efficiently and consistently proof their loaves. The Doughbed uses a USB powered warming mat combined with a glass pan topped with a cork lid to create a temperature-controlled space for the first proof of future loaves of sourdough, yeast breads, and more—an innovation anyone who has struggled to get a decent rise when their kitchen doesn't naturally fall within the recommended 72°F to 84°F range can appreciate. We tested Sourhouse's previous innovation, the Goldie sourdough warmer, and while it wasn't a perfect fit for our reviewer, we think the Doughbed has function and looks that frequent bakers will appreciate.

3Doodler Chef Candy Pen
A 3D pen lets artists and makers write or draw their ideas into existence—with the 3Doodler Candy Chef Candy Pen, aspiring bakers can do the same, bringing cupcake toppers, accents, and more to life by sketching out their wildest ideas and watching them come to life. Made and shown by 3D pen experts and successfully funded Kickstarter project 3Doodler, the Chef Candy pen puts that expertise to work, but using gluten-free 'candy capsules' made from the sugar alternative Isomalt that come in five colors instead of the plastic filament the pens normally take. We think kids, bakers, and chefs of all ages and skill levels will welcome the chance to make their creations that much cooler and more custom.

Magnifique Clay Pot Oven
Credit: Reviewed / Magnnifique
Magnifique's Clay Pot Oven is a 4-quart slow cooker made with Kaolin clay in the pot, lid, and glaze.
People have been baking in clay since prehistoric times, and the reasons we still use clay for cooking are many. Clay retains heat, making it outstanding for slow, even simmers and braises, and it's nonreactive, so it won't add any off flavors to foods like metal surfaces can. That's the idea behind Magnifique's Clay Pot Oven, a 4-quart slow cooker made with Kaolin clay in the pot, lid, and glaze. It uses multidirectional heating to cook food from all sides (including the top) for even slow-cooking, braising, and warming. It's even scratch-resistant and dishwasher safe.

Vitesy Shelfy food preserving smart device
Food is expensive, and keeping fruits and vegetables fresher longer can have a real effect on the bottom line. Vitesy's Shelfy is a small-scale air purifier designed to remove ethylene and other gases in the air in your fridge to prevent fruits and vegetables from ripening (and spoiling) for as many as 12 additional days. (The Shelfy reduces fridge odors, too.) The USB-C rechargeable Shelfy can last as long as three weeks between charges in eco-mode and has a washable filter so it can keep saving your food—and money—for the long run.

Verta Nature-inspired Air Purifier and Self-watering Planter
Plant lovers know that greenery in your house can help clean your air, but Verta has taken it to a new level with the Verta Nature-inspired Air Purifier and Self-watering Planter, which combines an air purifier with a self-watering planter for a device that simulates the natural water cycle. A perforated planter offers drainage for plants, and the washable PM 2.5 filters take VOC out of the air. The dehumidifier function also helps power the self-watering function to fully close the loop—you can use the associated Verta app to customize the humidity level that's best for you (and your plants).

Zoku Cotton Candy Maker
Cotton candy is fun, fluffy, sweet, and found at the ball game or the carnival—until now. Zoku's compact cotton candy maker makes it a snap to create the fairground treat at home. Zoku has long been an editor's favorite for its easy-to-use slushy cup and quick-freeze popsicle maker, and the cotton candy maker looks like it shares that fast, functional, kid-friendly DNA. Preheat the machine for three minutes, add in your sugar—that's it. You're ready to spin up clouds of cotton candy and be the most popular house around.

PawsPik Automatic Microchip Feeder
Credit: Reviewed / PawsPik
The PawsPik automatic feeder puts an end to food stealing by dispensing pre-portioned meals to the right cat or dog using RFID technology.
If you live in a multipet household where your furry friends have different dietary needs (or where one of your furry friends is a food thief), you know getting each cat or dog the food they need (and none they don't) can get challenging. The PawsPik automatic feeder puts an end to food stealing by dispensing pre-portioned meals to the right cat or dog using RFID technology. You set the frequency of meals (two to six times a day) and how much kibble is dispensed (from half a cup to 3 cups), and the PawsPik takes it from there, delivering the specified amount to the pet wearing the RFID tag on its collar (and none to any theft-minded buddies).

Your Coffee Shop is a High-Effort Job, Not an Asset. Let's Change That
Let's be honest. You're the owner, but you're also the first one in and the last one out. You're tired. Even when business is good, you know the truth: if you stop working, the income stops. You own a high-effort job, not a true business asset. The dream isn't just to sell more coffee; it's to build something that generates income even when you're not behind the counter. That's passive income. That's freedom. The good news? The reputation and community you've bled for in your physical store is the perfect launchpad to build that online asset. Don't just take my word for it. Look at these small shops that started just like you and built powerful online brands. They prove this isn't a fantasy; it's a tangible, achievable goal. Website: What they did: Heart built a minimalist, high-end brand. Their online store mirrors their beautiful, detail-focused café. They sell a curated line of beans and well-designed merchandise. Heart built a minimalist, high-end brand. Their online store mirrors their beautiful, detail-focused café. They sell a curated line of beans and well-designed merchandise. Takeaway: Your unique brand style is your biggest asset. Make your online store feel like an extension of your physical café. Consistency builds trust. Website: What they did: Instead of roasting, they curated the best beans from global roasters. Their store offers a discovery box subscription for coffee lovers. Instead of roasting, they curated the best beans from global roasters. Their store offers a discovery box subscription for coffee lovers. Takeaway: You don't have to make everything. Be the trusted guide. Help customers answer, 'What should I try next?' Website: What they did: They created a flexible subscription service backed by strong educational content. Customers trust them, come back, and stay subscribed. They created a flexible subscription service backed by strong educational content. Customers trust them, come back, and stay subscribed. Takeaway: Use content to build authority. Use subscriptions to create recurring income. Turn first-time buyers into long-term customers. Your goal is to sell high-margin products that reflect your brand. Don't get overwhelmed. You can start with just a few items and grow from there. Here's a simplified list to get you thinking. Category Examples Pros Cons 1. Coffee House blend, single origins, espresso, pods High relevance, customer trust Competitive, tight margins 2. Merch T-shirts, hoodies, totes, mugs, pins High margin, free marketing Inventory risk, upfront cost 3. Brewing Gear V60, AeroPress, grinders, scales Positions you as expert, high ticket price Requires knowledge, storage space 4. Pantry Items Syrups, oat milk, local honey, granola Easy add-on, repeat buys Shelf life, shipping issues 5. Subscriptions Monthly coffee club, curated bundles Recurring Revenue! Builds loyalty Logistical effort, consistency needed 6. Digital Goods E-books, video courses, photo presets 100% Margin! Zero inventory Requires creation effort upfront Don't sleep on digital products. While you're thinking about physical goods, there's a whole world of high-profit potential in items that require no shipping and no inventory. The profit margins are massive. Go browse Etsy(coffee bar poster) for five minutes and you'll see a huge, thriving market for digital downloads. For example, printable wall art for a home Coffee Bar cabinet is hugely popular and fits your coffee theme perfectly. Customers buy the file, download it instantly, and print it at home. Here's a pro tip: You don't even have to create the art yourself. Hire an intern or a freelancer for a small project. Have them source unique, interesting digital art files from designers on creative marketplaces and secure the rights to resell them. Then, set them up on your store. It's a low-effort way to add an entire category of high-profit products to your store with absolutely zero inventory headaches. You can waste weeks, even months, comparing e-commerce platforms, getting lost in feature lists and pricing tiers. Don't do it. For a small business owner like you, who needs something that works reliably and doesn't require a computer science degree, Shopify is the answer. It's built for people who want to sell things, not for web developers. You can choose a beautiful template, customize it to match your brand's colors and fonts, and be up and running in a weekend. It's secure, it handles all the credit card processing, and it scales with you as you grow. And let's be perfectly clear: your Instagram page is NOT an online store. It's a billboard. It's an essential tool for marketing and building a community, but you cannot build a real asset on it. Its shopping functions are limited, but more importantly, you don't own your followers . If Instagram decides to change its algorithm tomorrow, your reach could be cut in half. If your account gets flagged or shut down for some reason, your business vanishes overnight. Your Shopify store, and the customer email list you build with it, is a true business asset you own. This is the fundamental difference between building your business on rented land versus owning your own property. You are not a full-time influencer, and you don't have hours to spend creating content. The secret is to use the most powerful asset you already have: your physical store and the customers who walk through its doors every day. Here are some low-effort, high-impact tactics to connect your physical and digital worlds. QR Code on Everything: Get a QR code that links directly to your online store. Put it everywhere. Print it on stickers and slap them on every single coffee cup and pastry bag. Add it to your printed menus. Put it on the bottom of your receipts. Have a small, framed sign with it next to the cash register. Make it impossible for a customer to leave your shop without seeing it at least once.

Put it on the bottom of your receipts. Have a small, framed sign with it next to the cash register. Make it impossible for a customer to leave your shop without seeing it at least once. The 'Bag Stuffer': Design a simple, postcard-sized flyer. It can be as simple as a great photo of your coffee beans with the text: 'Love our coffee? Get it delivered to your door. Scan here for 10% off your first online order.' Put one of these in every single takeaway bag that leaves your store. It's a direct, physical link to your digital shop.

The 2-Second Staff Script: You don't need your staff to become aggressive salespeople. Just give them one simple, easy line to say. When handing a customer their order, they can say, 'Just so you know, you can now get our beans and all this merch on our new website.' That's it. It's a friendly, no-pressure piece of information that plants a seed. You don't need your staff to become aggressive salespeople. Just give them one simple, easy line to say.

It's a friendly, no-pressure piece of information that plants a seed. Create an 'Online Order Pickup' Spot: This is a powerful psychological trick. Set up a small, clearly-marked, and nicely branded shelf or corner in your shop for 'Online Order Pickups.' Even if you only have one or two orders a day to start, this physical space makes your online store feel real and legitimate. It also acts as a constant, passive advertisement to every single customer who walks in. They'll see it and think, 'Oh, people are ordering from them online. I should check that out.'

The 'In-Store Taster': Choose one of the coffee beans you plan to sell exclusively online. For one week, feature it as your daily 'guest drip' in the store. Put a small, handwritten sign next to the brewer: 'Tasting our new online exclusive from Guatemala today! If you love it, you can only get the bag online. Scan the QR code to buy.' This creates scarcity and a direct, taste-driven reason to visit your website. Choose one of the coffee beans you plan to sell exclusively online.

Repurpose, Don't Recreate: You're probably already taking photos of latte art or new pastries for your shop's Instagram. Just add one more step to what you're already doing. In your caption, instead of just saying 'Come on in!', try this: 'Our house blend is tasting extra chocolatey today. Tap the link in our bio to grab a bag for your kitchen.' You're not creating new content; you're just adding a commercial purpose to the content you were going to post anyway. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

I love this no-fuss coffee maker that's perfect for student living — and it's currently just $33 at Amazon
It's been a good few years since I went to college, and my coffee-making options were limited to a French press. Moving on a couple of decades, and there's now a whole array of new and fandangled options to choose from. However, if you're gathering your essentials to move into a student dorm room, you won't have the space for one of the best coffee machines with all the latest bells and whistles. That's why I recommend the OXO Brew Rapid Coffee Maker; it's a compact device, and right now, you can save 16%, as it's reduced to $33 at Amazon. I've recently tested OXO Brew's Rapid Brewer portable coffee maker, and apart from saving 16% at Amazon right now, it's a mean-making coffee maker. Perfect for small-space living, OXO's Brew Rapid Brewer will serve up a fresh brew in 5 minutes. Plus, it's compact and cordless and can be packed up and taken on your travels. What's more, you can forget about buying paper filters as a stainless steel filter is built in, meaning less waste and less hassle. Student funds are notoriously bleak, so as soon as you start dorm-living, you'll be counting those dimes. Picking up a takeaway coffee will begin to become a thing of the past when you realise just how much those take-outs add up. The perfect solution isn't to buy an expensive, all-singing coffee maker or one of the best espresso machines, it's to become an expert barista and to make your own brew with a compact coffee brewer. Apart from being affordable, a compact coffee maker fits well into small-space living, and it requires no electricity except for heating the water. This is why the OXO Brew Rapid Brewer is ideal for student living, it's perfectly compact and stores in one neat unit — without the muddle of its rival, the AeroPress, which I've previously compared side-by-side. And when storing them in my cupboard, I know there's less chance of parts from the OXO Brewer getting misplaced. Plus, unlike with the Aeropress, there's no need to buy filters, which can be a hassle and another expense. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I find the OXO Brewer Rapid Brewer is incredibly easy to use. When I first tried it, I was pleasantly surprised, as for me, OXO's Rapid Brewer surpasses the AeroPress, although I'll let you decide on the taste test. The only extra essentials you need are a cup, hot water, and coffee grounds. As mentioned above, you don't need to buy filters, as the gadget does this part for you. It comes with a carafe, pump, stainless steel coffee filter, water chamber and tamper, and the tamper fits inside the coffee basket for neat storage. All you have to do is place your coffee in the coffee basket, tamp it down, attach the basket to the chamber, position it over the water chamber, add hot or cold water, wait a few minutes depending on whether you're making a hot or cold brew, and press down the pump a couple of times. You're now ready to enjoy your drink. And for a real student experience, without the cost of a take-out coffee, you could keep it hot in Ninja's Perfect Sip travel mug — which will keep your homemade brew either hot or cold. So, now you can enjoy a homemade brew — a quick caffeine fix to get you up in the morning, or to keep you awake in the midnight hours when you're meeting a last-minute deadline.
