1. xBloom
The futuristic xBloom was dubbed the “Tesla of Coffee Machines” by our Editor-in-Chief. It is the first coffee machine with an Autopilot feature that assists you in the art of making coffee. The machine looks sleek and pristine, straight out of a sci-fi future!
Why is it noteworthy?
Designed by ex-Apple employees, the xBloom identifies, grinds, dispenses, brews, and also pours your coffee for you! It uses some of the finest beans sourced from the top roasters worldwide, providing you with the finest cup of coffee ever.

2. The COit
Designed by LG, the COit is a robot that functions as a hub in your kitchen ecosystems. The innovative robot can be used by novices and professional chefs, functioning as an autonomous device that shifts the focus from videography back to cooking – which is the primary goal of entering a kitchen.
Why is it noteworthy?
The COit features a mountable rail with a circular display that is encircled by a projector, light, camera, and an intelligent grip. All the various modules can be moved freely and independently on the small rail, covering the entire prep area or keeping them away from the fire and vapors.
What we like
- The various clip-able modules feature built-in magnets that can be customized in orientation, depending upon your requirements
What we dislike
- Food over the globe has such diversity, trying to standardize the recipe as per one instruction set would impact the diversity of that dish
3. The Dancing Grid
The Dancing Grid isn’t just an ordinary wall shelf to show off your kitchenware. It is an innovative and modular design with an inviting appeal. It tastefully uses tiles that make it quite classy and visually attractive.
Why is it noteworthy?
The different tiles have different functions, ranging from shelving to peg boards to blank spaces that providing some “breathing room” for the arrangement.
What we like
- Provides storage functionality while also adding a personal touch to your kitchen
What we dislike
- Space-consuming design that will occupy a substantial amount of space in your kitchen
4. JIU
JIU is a really interesting design since it is technically a plate that you can cook your food on or a flying plate with a removable handle. It is a novel and ingenious way to combine both cooking and eating!
Why is it noteworthy?
A thick iron plate makes up the body of the plate or frying pan. Thanks to this material, you can cook food slowly under low heat, never letting natural juices go to waste and keeping the crispiness of the ingredients inside. And since you don’t have to transfer the food from pan to plate, you can enjoy your meal while it’s warm.
What we like
- You can easily attach and detach the wooden handle as needed
What we dislike
- Since it’s made from iron, it would be difficult and heavy to carry around
5. The SplatterDōm
Called the SplatterDōm, this revolutionary kitchen product is designed to transform and redefine what a splatter guard can and should be. The height-adjustable guard extends over the side of your pot or pan upward, ensuring that your stovetop doesn’t get messy and dirty.
Why is it noteworthy?
What sets the SplatterDōm apart from other regular splatter guards, is that it provides complete access to the food that’s cooking inside, letting you stir, add ingredients, and watch your food get cooked. The innovative product comes in two sizes to fit 8-inch & 10-inch or 10-inch & 12-inch cookware, allowing you to use your favorite pots and pans, without missing out on the mess-free goodness.
What we like
- Made of BPA-free, 100% FDA-approved food-grade silicone, it can withstand temperatures of up to 450°F
- Can be used in microwaves to heat up leftovers or cook fast dishes
What we dislike
- There is always a risk of placing the SplatterDōm on the heat directly, causing it to melt
6. Playful Palm Grater
The Playful Palm Grater is small enough to fit perfectly into the palm of your hand, just like a toy! The whimsical product is designed to add a bit of fun and playfulness to your kitchen and dining life, as you add some cheese or lime zest to your dish.
Why is it noteworthy?
Instead of multiple pieces of metal bent and curved at different places, the grater is a single sheet of aluminum alloy that curls backward in one corner. The design makes it look almost like a sheet of paper, particularly a colorful sticky note or memo pad, that speaks to both its playful and serious demeanor.
What we like
- The form of the Playful Palm Grater gives you a firmer grip
- You can use it like a game and have some fun
What we dislike
- The grater doesn’t apply to all objects being grated
7. The NEVO Microwave Oven
The NEVO Microwave Oven resembles an upgraded IKEA or ACE toolbox, but it is in fact a unique microwave created for modern homes with an industrial and innovative aesthetic.
Why is it noteworthy?
The NEVO Microwave Oven features an intuitive user interface, that makes it super easy to use and operate. It can often be confusing to navigate the complicated options of a microwave, and the NEVO eradicates that confusion via its thoughtfully designed touch user interface.

Why is it noteworthy?
Made by a small family-owned Japanese factory that specializes in sheet metal fabrication, the All-in-One Grill is carefully designed to maximize the limited amount of space available, like small grooves on the grill’s frame that keep the skewers in place. The wooden base that protects tables from the grill’s hot bottom also acts as a lid when the griller has to be stowed away.
What we like
- Let’s you cook in seven different ways
- Simplifies outdoor cooking
What we dislike
- Hardcore grillers may not prefer this design

Why is it noteworthy?

10. The Brew
Dubbed the Brew, this automatic coffee machine helps you prepare your coffee, while also providing you with an entire sensory experience to go along with it, including the taste, aroma, and visuals.
Why is it noteworthy?
Because it has an open dripper, the aroma that comes from your coffee beans will spread within the room, which is what coffee lovers prefer. And since the top is open, you’ll be able to have a good view of the entire process, which includes an indicator light and then a series of chimes to add to the aural experience.
