Luxury Kitchen Gadgets:

Melitta Avanza Coffee Machine

Working from home more means more home-made coffees and less trips to the coffee shop, and the Melitta Avanza Series 600 coffee machine is the perfect way to create those perfect barista-style coffees. This compact yet fully automatic machine is ideal for smaller kitchens with limited tabletop space as it still offers all the perks of a bean-to-cup machine but for a percentage of the space.

Producing delicious espressos and high quality milky coffees including smooth lattes and beautifully frothy cappuccinos, I am very impressed with the quality of coffee made by this machine as well as its easy to use display and sleek aesthetics.

For a unique alternative to the Melitta Avanza, try the Melitta EPOS, their first electric pour over system, which even comes with an integrated grinder. At the touch of a button you can brew coffee as delicious as if you brewed it by hand. This is a gorgeous looking machine which will get everyone talking and wanting to give it a try. Give the gift of coffee this Christmas.

Luxe Black Truffle Kettle & Toaster Set - Sage

This luxurious two piece set finished in a beautiful Black Truffle colour is the ideal way to upgrade two of the most essential kitchen electricals. The sleek kettle holds up to 1.7 litres or 7 cups full of water with a clear viewing window which allows you to see the water level easily. It’s the perfect size to give the whole household a brew!

The toaster accommodates two slices and is a compact size which will fit comfortably on any tabletop. It also gives you much more control when it comes to your choice of bread, with six preset toast settings including White, Fruit, Brown, Grain, Rye, and Crumpet, and the Toast Select too.

I love the ‘A Quick Look’ button which you can use to check if the toast done, alongside the ‘A Bit More’ button, perfect if you like your toast a touch darker.

This set will make a fantastic Christmas gift and add a touch of class and elegance to any kitchen and is available online from Harts of Stur.

Steel Core Enamel Range - KitchenAid

Their iconic stand-mixer may be KitchenAid’s most well-known product, but their range of cookware is also a sight to behold.

KitchenAid offers a large selection of gorgeous cookware and I love their Steel Core Enamel Range, available is a very festive red colour. This range has been meticulously designed to create an optimal cooking experience, as it offers excellent heat retention, ideal for cooking over long periods of time.

I tried their saucepan and casserole dish, both of which are suitable for all hob types and was especially impressed with the weight of them. Unlike traditional cast-iron casserole dishes, this dish is much lighter, and so much easier to use and store.

The steel core enamel pans will make a thoughtful gift for anyone passionate about cooking and in need of high quality long lasting cookware.
