The Best October Prime Day Deals You Can Still Get (Including the Coffee Grinder We've Recommended for 5 Years)

The Best Coffee Grinder: OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

Our favorite coffee grinder for most people is rarely on sale, so we were super excited to have spotted this discount. As we said in our review, "This is about as inexpensive as a burr grinder gets before the grind quality really starts to fall off, making it a good starter grinder for most home-brewed coffee drinkers."

The Best Kitchen Towels: Zeppoli Classic Kitchen Towels

You can’t beat the price of our favorite kitchen towels, which are about $1 a towel at their current price. They’re sturdy, thick enough to use as pot holders, and have a stellar absorbency rate (141%!).

The Easiest-to-Use Espresso Machine: Breville Barista Express Impress Espresso Machine

The Breville Barista Express Impress is the easiest-to-use espresso machine we've ever tested (so much so we named it the best model for beginners). It features a built-in grinder and a tamping arm, automating two of the hardest parts of making espresso. Right now, it's 20% off.

One of Our Favorite Woks: Souped Up Recipes Carbon Steel Wok

One of our favorite woks is: 

1. Beautiful 
2. Heat responsive
3. Lightweight  
4. Currently 35% off

The Best Ice Cream Maker: Cuisinart 1.5-Quart Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker

Our favorite ice cream maker is speedy and makes ultra-smoothy ice cream. We loved its simple controls (just one on/off switch) and affordable price. It's $20 off at the moment.

The Best Sous Vide Machine with an On-Board Display: Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker

Our favorite immersion circulator with an onboard display is this one from Anova. It's accurate and relatively fast. It's also app-compatible, but you can forgo that if you're worried about WiFi cutting out and ruining dinner.

The Best Swedish Dishcloths: Swedish Wholesale Swedish Dishcloths

Swedish dishcloths are like a cross between a paper towel and a sponge and can be reused and reused and, well, you get the point. We found that the ones from Swedish Wholesale absorbed more and dried faster than the competition.

The Best Instant Pot: Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker

The 6-quart version of our favorite Instant Pot is 24% off. If you cook for around four people often, this multicooker will serve you well. It has some awesome usability features, too, like a control knob, pressure release switch, and handles on the cooking pot.

The Best Braiser: Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Braiser

A braiser is like a cross between a Dutch oven and an enameled cast iron skillet; you can shallow-fry, sear, simmer, roast, bake, and braise, all in one dish. And Le Creuset makes one of the best: Its braiser has wide handles and a spacious cooking surface for all-over browning.

The Best Stand Mixer for Casual Bakers: KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

Our favorite stand mixer will suit most bakers just fine—as long as you’re not kneading gobs of bagel dough regularly. It performed well in our tests and is available in a number of pretty hues.

The Best Budget-Friendly Stainless-Steel Skillet: Tramontina Fry Pan

We tested 29 stainless-steel skillets and named just two favorite pans, which means our top picks are indeed incredibly good. One of them is this model from Tramontina, which features a strong performance, a comfortable handle, and an incredibly reasonable price point (even better now that it’s 29% off)

One of the Best Air Fryers: Cosori Pro II Air Fryer

Crispy! Crunchy! Easy to clean! We love this air fryer from Cosori, which has a digital control panel and a roomy basket for even browning.

Incredibly Useful Sheet Pans: Nordic Ware 1/8 Sheet Pan

We think it’s worth buying a literal stack of eighth sheet pans, and Nordic Ware makes the very best. For mise en place, seasoning meat, or just baking a single chocolate chip cookie, it’s an incredibly useful size to have on hand. It also easily fits in a toaster oven.

The Best Citrus Juicer: Chef’n FreshForce Citrus Juicer

If you want to squeeze the daylights out of citrus, this is the press for you. It has a dual-hinged press and star-shaped perforations that direct juice downwards—keeping it off of the counter and (worse!) preventing it from spraying upwards into your eyes.

A Touchscreen Espresso Machine with a Built-In Grinder: Breville Barista Touch Impress Espresso Machine with Grinder

This Breville espresso machine makes it incredibly (and we do mean that) easy to brew lattes, cappuccinos, and straight-up espresso. It has a touchscreen, a built-in grinder, a tamping arm, Baratza burrs, and a steam wand that auto-purges after frothing.

The Best Wood-Fired Pizza Oven: Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Fired Pizza Oven

This wood pellet-powered pizza oven cooks pies in one-and-a-half to two minutes and preheats in just 15 minutes. Plus, it's the cheapest pizza oven in Ooni's lineup.

The Best Bread Maker: Zojirushi Home Bakery Virtuoso Plus

This bread maker aced our tests. It mixed, kneaded, and stretched sliceable loaves and had an extra heating element for browner crusts.

A Great Stovetop Kettle: Le Creuset Tea Kettle

This kettle boiled water the fastest in our tests. It's also induction-compatible and beautiful. Right now, the Deep Teal color is most discounted for October Prime Day.

A Snazzy Smart Blender: Vitamix A3300 Ascent Series Smart Blender

If you want something a bit fancier, this smart blender has a touchscreen display, built-in timer, and compatible app. Plus, it's compatible with the Vitamix food processor attachment, which we tested and recommended.

A Great Portable Induction Cooktop: Hamilton Beach Induction Cooktop

This induction cooktop was super accurate in our testing. It has 12 temperature settings and you can toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Having an extra burner around is particularly helpful during the holidays for, say, keeping the gravy warm while you finish cooking everything else.

A Nespresso Machine (If You Really Want It): Nespresso Vertuo Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine

While a Nespresso wouldn't be our first coffee maker pick (check out our explainer here), we were very impressed by its speed and consistency. For someone who prioritizes ease in their coffee routine, a Nespresso could be a good pick. This one comes with a milk frother and is 22%.

The Best Meat Grinder: KitchenAid Metal Food Grinder Attachment

Our favorite meat grinder fits onto the hub of a stand mixer and lets the machine do all of the hard-cranking work for you. There’s a whole lot else to like about it, including the fact its all-metal parts can be placed in the freezer for chilling and optimal meat grinding.

An Entry-Level Breville Machine: Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine

This Breville espresso machine is slightly cheaper, but still has a built-in grinder and a lot of features (like 16 grind settings and a temperature controller for brewing water).

The Best Water Bottle: Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Straw Lid

One of our favorite water bottles is 25% off at the moment (and in a variety of colors and sizes!). It has excellent cold retention, durability, and it fits in a car cupholder.

The Best More Affordable Hand Mixer: KitchenAid 9-Speed Digital Hand Mixer

This hand mixer did well in our tests and even comes with a frother attachment (for, say, hot chocolate!). It also has a storage pouch.

The Best Espresso Machine for Enthusiasts: Gaggia Classic Evo Pro

For those looking to tinker more and really get into the art of making espresso, there's this Gaggia machine. As we said in our review of it, "The Gaggia Classic Pro makes espresso that's as close as you can get to the quality you'd find at your local specialty coffee shop and allows folks eager to learn about coffee plenty of room to explore and play."

The Best Soda Maker with Glass Bottles: SodaStream Aqua Fizz

This soda maker has glass bottles (not plastic!) and makes ultra-fizzy water. The discounted set comes with two bottles and a CO2 cartridge.

The Best Dish Rack: KitchenAid Full Size Dish Rack

Loving to cook inevitably means doing the dishes (entropy! sigh)—but this dish rack helps take some of the pain out of that task. It's super solid and spacious (it can hold a dinner's worth of dishes), and the drain mat is easy to remove for cleaning.

The Best Spray Mop: Bona Hardwood Floor Premium Spray Mop

If you're looking for an easy-to-use, effective spray mop for scouring sticky spots or shining up floors, check out our winner from Bona, which is currently 22% off. It sprayed cleaning solution in a wide fan and scrubbed up gunk without a hitch, and we liked that the cleaning pads were machine-washable.

The Best Stand Mixer Shaved-Ice Attachment: KitchenAid Shave Ice Attachment

This easy-to-use ice shaver attachment is great for anyone craving Halo Halo. It can shave ice coarsely or finely and comes with four ice molds for an endless supply of shaved ice. And now it's 25% off.

A Silly Powerful Immersion Blender: Vitamix Immersion Blender

When we tested immersion blenders, the Vitamix was by far the most powerful. It's also got a variable speed button that lets you pick your perfect blending power, and its silicone grip rests comfortably in your hand, making it easy to maneuver. Right now, it's $35 off.

The Best Plastic Food Storage Containers: Rubbermaid Brilliance BPA Free Food Storage Containers

Our favorite plastic food storage containers are leak-proof, with latches that securely snap the lid closed and a rubber steal all the way around. Right now, the jumbo-sized set is 30% off.

A Fantastic Guide to Wok Cooking: The Wok: Recipes and Techniques

Kenji's The Wok cookbook is a must if you're interested in some full-fledged, wok hei cooking at home. As to be expected, you'll not only find fantastic recipes but also a deep dive into the science behind them and why they work.

The Best Safety Mandoline: Dash Safe Slice Mandoline

This model keeps your hands away from the blades, which is the scariest part about using a mandoline. It also performed well, thinly slicing the vegetables and fruit we put through it.

The Best Variable Temperature Kettle: Fellow Corvo EKG Electric Tea Kettle

With a single knob and the ability to hold its temperature for one hour, the Fellow Corvo EKG Electric Tea Kettle impressed us in our review. It can also heat water between 135°F and 212°F and has a counterweight that makes pouring smooth and easy.

The Best Bento Box: Bentgo MicroSteel Leak-Proof Lunch Box

Our favorite bento box has a spacious interior, an optional divider, and a leakproof seal. It's also available in some fun colors (like aqua)—all of which are on sale right now.

The Best Air Fryer with Analog Controls: Ninja Air Fryer

This air fryer has clearly labeled analog controls, so there's no digital interface to deal with (if that's unappealing to you). Its smaller basket is good for two to three servings and it crisped and crunched very well in our tests.

The Best Overall App-Free Grill Thermometer: ThermoWorks Smoke Remote BBQ Alarm Thermometer

With highly accurate readings and a no-frills interface, this is a great thermometer for serious smokers and barbecuers who want the basics done right.

The Best Ice Cream Maker Upgrade: Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker

With a self-freezing canister, 12 hardness settings, a keep-cool option, and an ice cream truck tune that sounds when the machine's finished churning, this is one sleek ice cream maker. It's also nearly $200 off at the moment.

The Best Budget-Friendly Espresso Machine: De'Longhi Stilosa Manual Espresso Machine

Straightforward, consistent, and minimal: If you want a super-budget espresso machine, this is our recommendation. It's compact, too, so it'll fit on most countertops.

One of the Best Travel Mugs: Zojirushi Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Mug

You really can't beat the insulation of this Zojirushi mug: It keeps coffee (or tea!) hot for hours upon hours. This travel mug also has a locking cap and top you can open with just your thumb.

The Best Grill Brush: GRILLART Grill Brush and Scraper

A dirty, greasy grill might not seem like THAT big a deal, but no one wants their burgers tasting like burnt bits of last week's barbecue. Enter our winning grill brush from GRILLART which scoured every bit of grime from even the hardest-to-reach nooks and crannies.

The Best Aesthetic Portable Charcoal Grill: Everdure CUBE Portable Charcoal Grill

A *cute* charcoal grill? And one that works very well? Yes, it does exist. In our review of portable charcoal grills, we loved this aesthetically pleasing and well-performing option from Everdure, which gave Brats and whole corn nicely charred grill marks.
