For less than $100, you can get a phenomenal basic coffee maker: the Braun Brew Sense Coffee Maker.

“I feel like comparing this to a well-made German car,” says Maggie of this coffeemaker. The Braun Brew sense is simple and streamlined with all of the features coffee fanatics need and no frivolous extras. Its sleek appearance makes it a welcome addition to any at-home coffee bar.

With this Braun coffeemaker, you can adjust the brew strength of your favorite coffee as well as the temperature of the warming plate; that means folks that like lava-like brews can keep their pot piping hot before they add a splash of creamer. You can also program this coffeemaker so your preferred brew can be ready as soon as you are.

Best Overall Food Dehydrator

Cosori Food Dehydrator

Topping the list, the Cosori 6-Tray Food Dehydrator is my favorite model in the mid-range price set. Its the right size to get a lot done, but not so large its a burden to your shelves. Plus, its sleek design will blend in with most modern kitchens.

You can see the food as its dehydrating, and thanks to a convenient timerwhich you can set to work in 30-minute increments for up to 48 hoursyou can easily walk away and not have to worry about it (check out these other kitchen appliances that practically cook for you). It offers precision drying from 95 to 165 degrees and features six stainless steel trays, a mesh screen, a fruit roll sheet and a recipe cookbook. The test food all came out nice, crispy and with good flavor, and the accessories and features make it worth the extra money.

Temp control: 95-165F |Timer: Up to 48 hrs | Capacity: 6.5 sq. ft.
