Anova Precision Cooker

Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker

Normally $219, Now $169

Our favorite sous vide machine with an onboard display (for those who worry about WiFi signals cutting out and ruining dinner) is 23% off at the moment. We found it to be easy to use and accurate—essential for an immersion circulator. For those who want an app-compatible machine, it does that, too.

Our compact vacuum sealer pick is easy to store and simple to use, as it just has three buttons. It comes with 10 pre-cut bags and has no refractory period (that’s the time in between sealings!).

Normally $150, Now $100 at Anova Culinary

This is our favorite overall vacuum sealer and for good reason: not only does it seal exceptionally well (for both dry and wet items), it has a host of great features. We think you'll appreciate its cord storage and bag storage and cutter. Like the smaller Anova, it has no refractory period.

Normally $160, Now $130

Our favorite air fryer is $30 off at the moment. After testing 11 models, the Instant came out on top for its speed, usability, and performance. It browned the quickest and most evenly out of all the air fryers we tested and we loved its control knob that allowed us to easily scale up and down the time and temperature. If you've been wanting an air fryer, why not get the best one at a great price?

Normally $550, Now $389

Our all-time favorite Vitamix blender, the 5200, is marked down just in time for the new year. It's incredibly powerful, meaning it'll make quick work of everything from smoothies to purées. It's also not cheap, making this a great deal to take advantage of.

Normally $85, Now $68

Our favorite dish rack is super solidly constructed and fits a whole lot of dishes without nary a plate wobbling. Its side walls are tall and supportive and its mat can be removed for easy cleanup. A truly great dish rack is one of those little luxuries you didn't know you were missing until you have it.

Normally $400, Now $225 at Solo Stove

We really, really liked this fairly smokeless fire pit from Solo Stove when we tested it (and the grill hub, which is also on sale) this past summer. It was easy to set up, burned very efficiently, and was a cinch to clean. And right now, it's $175 off.

Normally $55, Now $47

Our affordable French press pick is nearly $20 off (just clip the coupon before adding it to your cart). It features a layered stainless steel body that keeps coffee hot for a long period of time and its dual filter does a good job at keeping grit and sludge out of your cup. Fun fact: the Coffee Gator is also one of our favorite cold brew makers.

Spinn Pro Coffee Maker

Spinn Pro Coffee Maker

Spinn Coffee

View On Amazon View On Williams-Sonoma View On Seattlecoffeegear.com

Normally $899, Now $749 at Seattle Coffee Gear

We were impressed by the Spinn Coffee Maker's ability to brew fully automated versions of espresso and cold brew instantly, and its version of drip coffee wasn't bad either. It uses a centrifugal brew chamber attached to a built-in grinder, allowing for the convenience of one-touch capsule brewing while being able to still choose your own favorite whole bean coffee. Its biggest downside is the price, and with this discount, it's worth taking a look at.

When we reviewed Ooni ovens earlier this year, the Koda 16 impressed us with its performance and usability. It has an extra-large opening, so it can accommodate bigger pies, and a control panel and gas hook-up on the right side of the oven (most Oonis have this at the back)—an accessible placement.

Normally $34, Now $20

After testing 22 cast iron skillets, this one from Lodge was the winner. It's durable, performs well, and is fairly inexpensive (even not on sale!). We think the 10.25-inch size works well for most people, but the larger 12-inch version is also on sale if you tend to cook for a crowd.

For serious coffee geeks looking to invest in a quality burr grinder, we think this is a great option. It performed well in our tests (we tested 12 coffee grinders) and can even be used as an entry-level espresso grinder. It's not ideal for French press or cold brew because its grind trends finer than other options, but it's a high-end pick at a great price right now.
