A Seriously Powerful Sous Vide Machine
Anova Culinary Precision Cooker Pro

Right now, our favorite splurge-worthy immersion circulator is considerably less splurgy (at this price, it's about the cost of the Breville Joule). In our tests, we found it to be incredibly powerful and fast. We also liked its intuitive on-board display.

After testing seven stainless steel water bottles, we named this one from Hydro Flask one of our favorites.

For Memorial Day, Hydro Flask is offering 25% site wide, which includes our favorite water bottle (note: Hydro Flask has it in just two colors, while Amazon offers it in six).

An Expert-Recommended Coffee Maker
AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker
Normally $40, Now $32
For brewing one cup of coffee at a time, we really like the Aeropress. It's lightweight, making it as equally good for traveling as it is at-home use. Plus, it's versatile. "Because it’s designed around a filter cap, a chamber, and a plunger, it can make espresso-style coffee, plunger-assisted drip coffee, and even brew immersion-style coffee—just flip it upside down," we explained here.
