 Braun Multiquick Professional Hand Blender Price: $100 at Macy's. Perfect for: People with galley kitchens. Why we love it: Many a chef's favorite gadget, this immersion blender has a whopping 400-watt motor that’s powerful enough to pulverize ice. In fact, it comes with a container specifically meant for that. What else: Also has attachments for puréeing, chopping, and whisking that are compact and easy to store.

Just-Rite
Electric Citrus Juicer Price: $32 at Pilgrim Home (202 Bedford Avenue, near North 6th Street, Brooklyn, 718-599-0023). Perfect for: Recent grads setting up house. Why we love it: The clever lid conceals the juicing mechanism when not in use, and detaches to double as a pitcher (with the leaves as the base). And since it's electric, you don't need to apply a lot of pressure to extract the juice. What else: Comes with two reamers (one for big fruits, one for small). |

Cuisinart
Grind and Brew Thermal 10-cup Automatic Coffeemaker Price: $149 at Bloomingdale's. Perfect for: People who really can't think before downing a cup of joe. Why we love it: This do-it-all gizmo can be programmed 24 hours in advance to grind and brew your coffee for just the right time -- and then the insulated ten-cup pot will keep it warm until you’re ready to drink it (no stewing as it keeps warm!). What else: A pause button lets you sneak out a cup before the cycle ends.
