description: Air fryers use hot air instead of oil, so are healthier than deep-fryers, and more versatile and energy-efficient for cooking smaller quantities than ovens. Discover our experts’ tried-and-tested favourites
encoded: Air fryers have properly earned their spot on my worktop. In last year’s Good Food Nation Survey, 58% of people told us they now own one. I get the appeal: that crisp, 'fried' finish with little to no oil, plus they're usually faster and cheaper to run than the oven. The latest models are a big step up on the early air fryers I remember, with smarter controls, better efficiency and enough versatility to roast, bake and even dehydrate. If you want my top pick, the Ninja Double Stack XL SL400UK is the best overall air fryer in this guide. How we tested air fryers Homemade chips were our starting point, using Maris Piper potatoes soaked and dried for consistency, but they were only part of the picture. We set up each air fryer according to its manual and cooked a range of everyday foods to judge versatility and reliability. We assessed even browning, crispness and texture, alongside ease of use, cleaning, build quality, value and sustainability, all based on repeat testing in real kitchen conditions.

description: A coffee grinder (also called a ‘mill’) can give you all the aroma and taste of freshly ground coffee at home. Here’s our pick of the best at a variety of prices, including electronic and hand-operated models
encoded: If you’re serious about good coffee, investing in a reliable coffee grinder is a game-changer. Grinding your beans just before brewing ensures you capture the full aroma and flavour, unlike pre-ground coffee, which quickly loses its freshness and potency. But it isn’t just about unlocking extra flavour – grinding your coffee beans at home also provides more flexibility in your choice of brewing types. Whether you’re making a strong espresso in a coffee machine or moka pot, a silky pour-over filter coffee or French press, each brew type requires a slightly different consistency of coffee grounds, and most good coffee grinders can be adjusted to achieve the perfect consistency for your chosen method. There are many different coffee grinders on the market, from simple, manual grinders to high-tech electric models. We’ve researched and tested a wide variety of coffee grinders to suit different needs, budgets and kitchen sizes. Read on for our pick of the best coffee grinders for 2026. For more inspiration, check out our guide to picking the best coffee machine for your budget. We've also outlined our tried-and-tested picks of the best espresso machines, best coffee pod machines, best bean-to-cup coffee machines and best filter coffee machines.

description: Looking for a coffee maker that can grind beans as well as make espresso? Read our bean-to-cup coffee machine reviews to discover which brands are best
encoded: Once reserved for skilled baristas, the best bean-to-cup coffee machines can now bring café-standard coffee to your kitchen, delivering a flavourful aromatic experience that coffee pod machines, for example, simply cannot match. Using freshly ground beans will always give you the best cup of coffee, too: one that has depth of flavour and rich aroma. And, of course, there’s the added benefit of avoiding single-use coffee pods, which can be both costly and difficult to recycle – a growing concern for eco-conscious coffee drinkers. But how do you identify the right machine for you? As a qualified barista who's tried and tested my fair share of coffee machines over the last three years (and worked at various coffee shops before that), I've compiled a shortlist of options to suit every need – whether you're after an automatic gadget that will grind, tamp and brew fresh beans for every cup, or a manual model that will allow you to tweak and perfect your process. If you're looking for even more coffee inspiration, you can also check out Good Food's broader guide to finding the best coffee machine. The latest additions were tested and reviewed by Sarah Finley.

encoded: It's now easier than ever to brew espresso from the comfort of your own kitchen with some of the best espresso machines. While delicious on its own, espresso forms the basis of classic coffee drinks like americanos, cappuccinos, milky lattes, chocolatey mochas, flat whites, and even espresso martinis. Approximately 98 million cups of coffee are consumed every day in the UK according to the British Coffee Association, and there's a host of home espresso machines designed to replicate the results of those used in commercial coffee shops. There's also more than one type of home espresso machine for making barista-style coffee, so I've explained the different types below. Although some machines will grind the beans freshly for you (these are broadly known as bean-to-cup coffee machines), there are alternative ways to achieve this without splashing out.

description: I've spent countless hours testing a variety of coffee gadgets, but these are the only machines, accessories and tools I'd actually recommend buying
encoded: If you're anything like me, your day doesn't truly begin until you've sipped your first cup of coffee – but, long gone are the days when we'd have to rely on instant granules for a caffeine hit. Domestic espresso and bean-to-cup coffee machines have made it easier than ever to brew specialty roasts in our own homes – so much so that it's become an integral part of our routine. But, how much money do you really need to spend to get anything close to what you'd buy in a coffee shop? As a former barista and Good Food's resident coffee expert, I'm here to reassure you that you don't need to spend thousands of pounds on the latest kit – a bag of freshly roasted beans (often priced at £10/250g) will have a bigger impact on what ultimately ends up in your cup. Still, with so much coffee gear out there, knowing what’s actually worth your money can send you into a tailspin. As an act of kindness (and not under the pretence of fuelling my own caffeine addiction), I've spent countless hours testing a range of coffee machines, gadgets and accessories to help you cut through the noise and find the right kit for your needs, space and budget. Everything in this guide has my seal of approval and a coveted 5/5 star rating – but for a full look at everything we've tried and tested, you can check out Good Food's guides to the best coffee machines, best bean-to-cup coffee machines, best espresso machines and best gifts for coffee lovers.

encoded: Creating delicious pizza at home has never been easier thanks to the rise of at-home pizza ovens.

Choosing the right pizza oven depends on your space, preferences and budget.

description: With Gousto's recipe boxes, you can mix up family mealtimes while tucking into comforting, familiar favourites that everyone – even fussy eaters – will enjoy
encoded: Family mealtimes should be one of the most rewarding moments of the day, but more often than not, half the battle can be getting everyone to eat – and enjoy – the same thing. Catering to your child's palate, particularly if they're a fussy eater, can leave lots of us stuck in a bit of a rut, repeating the same handful of familiar 'safe' dishes that become tiresome and uninspiring.

encoded: Knives are one of the most commonly used pieces of kitchen kit, but you won’t get very far with one if it's blunt. The best knife sharpeners can make a top chopper out of even the cheapest of blades, and a dull, unsharpened knife is actually less safe to use than a sharp one – some professional chefs will even sharpen their knives daily. While lots of chefs swear by rod-shaped steel sharpeners or whetstones, abrasive handheld block sharpeners are a good option for household kitchens as they’re so easy to use – the wheel action is intuitive and safe. For that reason, I've reviewed these types of sharpeners only.

encoded: Lots of us start a new year with good intentions. Perhaps you've vowed to eat more fruit and veg, drink more water (this one's mine), cook more from scratch or cut down on sugar, caffeine or alcohol. But then a few weeks pass, the novelty wears off and suddenly sticking to those early resolutions can feel like a mammoth task.
