For coffee enthusiasts, lasting a day without good coffee is nearly impossible. Up your love for coffee and mood by creating your own espresso everyday. What makes an espresso machine different from an ordinary coffee maker is the darker and richer flavor of the coffee it produces. If you are fond of specialty coffee but would like to cut down on the costs of getting your drink from coffee shops, then a home espresso machine would be a good option for you. Typically, an espresso machine is more expensive than a coffee maker. However, nowadays, there are already budget-friendly espresso machines if you have a limited budget.

Not enough space in the kitchen for multiple cooking equipment? Get yourself a multi-cooker. As the term implies, you can use this kitchen appliance for whipping a number of food items. Use it as a pressure cooker, slow cook your recipes, sauté, or just keep your food warm – all of these can be done with your multi-cooker. You can also double it as your rice cooker. Though it costs a bit more than other cooking appliances, it is still cost-efficient as it functions more than just one cooking appliance.
Air Purifier

An air purifier is used to remove pollutants in the air and improve the air quality. It is different from a humidifier which adds moisture in the air. Since the pandemic, having a healthy body, environment, and lifestyle had been a priority. One of the ways to have a clean house and lot is having an air purifier. The device offers several benefits such as removal of triggers for asthma attacks, eliminates allergens, such as dust and pollen, traps cigarette smoke and eliminates radon gas, and kills insects such as mosquitoes, among others.
Air Quality Monitor

Partner your air purifier with an air quality monitor for your home. An indoor air quality monitor is helpful in determining the level of oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and volatile gases in the enclosed space. Knowing the air quality will let you know if it’s healthy to stay inside your home and breathe in all the gases or if you need to fix openings in your home. Knowing the air quality can also help you determine where to put your air purifier. This is especially important if you or one of your family members suffers from any lung disease or breathing problems.
Automatic Pet Feeder

For pet owners, an automatic pet feeder is a must especially when you’re leaving your furry friends alone at home. An automatic pet feeder dispenses pet food at a quantity and time specified. Aside from feeding your pets while you are away, it will also regulate their eating habits just like when you personally feed them. This is helpful most especially when you have to be away for a day, may it be for work or personal travel. This does not replace your actual care and service but it is helpful in keeping your pets healthy and not starving throughout the day.
Pet Interactive Camera

Aside from an automatic pet feeder, one of the trending items for pet owners is a pet camera. This allows homeowners to see what their pets are doing when they are not at home. Some pet cameras provide two-way audio, which allows your pets to hear your voice, too. Features vary per pet camera. Some have a wide-angle view that lets you see the entire room, while others even allow a set-up of a laser game.
Wireless Charger

Wireless phone charging has been around for quite a few years, but recently, it’s been buzzing more since it’s been available to more smartphones. With wireless chargers, you only need one cord connected to the mat, which can be used by several devices. With just one charging mat, there is no need to plug and unplug different chargers, which lessens the wear and tear on phone sockets. A wireless charger is also energy efficient and a safe way of charging your phone as it automatically shuts down once your mobile phone is fully charged. This prevents overheating of batteries. These are just some of its advantages aside from it looking cool.
