From the ultimate smoker to a sleek + soft coffee machine for diehard coffee lovers – these innovative and exceptional appliances are all you need in your kitchen.
1. The COit
The COit was designed by LG to function as a robot that can serve as a hub in your kitchen ecosystem. The robot can be easily used by both novices and professional chefs alike, and it functions as an autonomous device that shifts from focus from videography back to cooking – which is the primary aim behind 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 a smart grip. All the various modules can be moved around freely and independently on the small rail, covering the entire prep area or keeping them away from the fire and vapors.
What we like
- These modules – that clip onto the rail with built-in magnets – can be customized in orientation, depending on user 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
2. The SMOKER-X
The SMOKER-X measures only 24cm x 24cm by 21cm, and it lets you smoke wherever you like – whether indoors or outdoors. The smoker features a compact body that can work with any kind of stovetop – irrespective if it’s gas, electric, or induction. Whenever you feel the craving for a good smoked dish, you can quickly whip out the SMOKER-X to satisfy your appetite.
Why is it noteworthy?
The SMOKER-X is portable, and also extremely versatile, as it allows you to smoke any kind of food or ingredient. If you want a traditional hot barbecue, you can simply place some wood chips within the main frame, and light up a fire underneath. Equipped with a built-in thermometer, the smoker gives you a precise readout of how hot is it inside.
What we like
- The smoker’s unique design creates a narrow 6mm pathway for the smoke to pass through the saucer, making it possible to create all types of smoked foods
What we dislike
- Aesthetics are a bit boring and unassuming
3. The Luvia Jug
The Luvia Jug lets you watch your water being purified! It’s built from glass and has a good-looking minimal appearance which makes it great to place on your tabletop or kitchen counter.
Why is it noteworthy?
Usually, water purifiers tend to look quite industrial, however, the Luvia has a rather decor-worthy appearance, with a compact catalytic carbon filter suspended in the center, and a chic bamboo lid, that helps you keep it covered.
What we like
- The jar has a double-walled construction with two levels – one for the water you pour in, and another for the water that gets purified by the Luvia jar
- Environment-friendly + somewhat recyclable design
What we dislike
- It seems to be easily breakable
4. The VAVA Air Fryer Sleek Cooker
The VAVA Air Fryer sleek cooker is the ultimate kitchen appliance to take your air frying experience to another level with its visual glass door design. This allows you to keep an eye on your food as it cooks along, letting you keep a constant check on your food.
Why is it noteworthy?
The air fryer features a visual glass door design that lets you keep an eye on your cooking process. It has a customizable temperature and time option that lets you cook to the level of doneness you want in your food. It also features eight preset menus with LED displays allowing you to select your cooking mode easily with the 1-touch LED buttons.
What we like
- Provides you and your family with a safe cooking experience owing to its FDA and ETL certifications
- Offers safety protection. You simply need to remove the frying basket while cooking to stop the oven
What we dislike

5. The Kohler Purist Suspend Ceiling Mount Kitchen Faucet
The Kohler Purist Suspend Ceiling Mount Kitchen Faucet is the ultimate modernist element you can add to your modern kitchen. This innovative appliance hangs into your kitchen sink and follows commands from a wireless remote puck.
Why is it noteworthy?
The wireless puck controls the temperature, activation, and volume, and allows you to regulate all of them. The hose on the arms rotates at 180 degrees and has a wide variety of spray patterns.
What we like
- The hose is weighted to prevent splashes
- The water’s flow on the faucet can be adjusted or stopped
What we dislike
- We’re not sure how easy it would be to clean and maintain the appliance
6. The Yuanye
The Yuanye is a portable outdoor barbecue grilling pan that you can bring to your outdoor adventures this summer. Though it looks like a portable projector, it is a super useful outdoor kitchen appliance that has been amped with a gas tank, fire source, and oil storage module.
Why is it noteworthy?
When you open it up, you’ll see two partitions where you can grill your meats on one side and your vegetable on the other. The design of this portable grill is inspired by the usual suitcases we bring when we travel, from the foldable design to the handle and all the accessories. But instead of being storage for clothes and other stuff we need, it’s actually for the food we need when going on a picnic or camping out in the middle of nature.
What we like
- You can cook steak and barbecue all kinds of meats as well as different types of vegetables with the Yuanye, allowing you to prepare a balanced and well-rounded meal
- Fashionable + good-looking appliance
What we dislike
- It’s a concept
- Looks a bit heavy to be carrying around, better suited for your backyard or close distances
7. Brava
Say hello to Brava – an oven that harnesses the power of pure light to cook food to perfection! Unlike radiant heat, which heats the entire oven chamber, light can be precisely delivered to specific zones within the oven chamber, allowing you to cook with precise control and no energy wastage.
Why is it noteworthy?
With three dedicated zones on the cooking tray and lights above and below it to match, Brava can cook three-part meals at three different temperatures at the same time, on the same tray, and in minutes as opposed to hours on a grill or oven
What we like
- The three light zones help focus the heat into three distinct categories, letting you cook meats and veggies on one tray, but at different temperatures
- A camera built into the smart oven gives you a literal window into the oven’s interiors, letting you see your lasagna bake and your meat sear in real-time
What we dislike
- Some people may prefer ovens with transparent displays
8. The Woolly Capsule Coffee Machine
The Woolly capsule coffee machine concept radiates a sense of softness and approachability and has a rather adorable appeal to it. It consists of very few straight lines and a muted color palette that heavily avoids black and reds.
Why is it noteworthy?
The coffee machine consists of wooden panels and metallic accents that contrast interestingly against the textured plastic surface of the body, creating a unique composition that is appealing to the eyes.
What we like
- Soft and friendly aesthetic, unlike the typical daunting coffee machines we come across
- Features embedded touch-sensitive buttons on the panel that take interaction to the next level
What we dislike
- A wooden body and coffee-stained fingers may disrupt the aesthetics of the machine

10. Breeze Coffee Machine
Designed for the South Korean coffee brand Dongsuh, the Breeze coffee machine is a capsule coffee machine with a twist. It has a refreshing soft color palette with white, charcoal, and pink variants to represent a gentler personality.
Why is it noteworthy?
The coffee machine features a ridged surface wrapped around the base, which contrasts with the smoother texture of the head. The tall water tank at the back complements the subdued hues of the machine, sending across a message of calm.
What we like
- The design includes a more tactile interface to operate the machine, using clearly marked LED-backlit buttons at the top of the head
What we dislike
- It’s a capsule-based coffee machine but there is no knowledge shared on how to make the process reduce wastage or make it more sustainable
