Moving into a new apartment, especially if it’s the first one, can be a roller coaster of emotions. It is a very exciting moment in anyone’s life, but it can get really overwhelming and confusing.

Moving into a new place means having to buy loads of things, maybe things you didn’t know you needed or even existed, but they will make your life a lot easier.

When we moved into our new place, I knew the kitchen was the place in which I was going to invest the most. We love cooking and spend a lot of quality time doing it, so it just made sense that one we had the room, we filled it with apartment kitchen appliances that were going to be useful and last a long time.

MY FAVOURITE APARTMENT KITCHEN APPLIANCES

1. De’Longhi Lattissima One

We are BIG latte drinkers so for us having a coffee machine that made the best home-made lattes was really important. We did a lot of research on the best coffee machines and this was the absolute winner.

Our De’Longhi is one of our favourite first apartment essentials and we use it every morning without fail, it definitely was a great investment.

2. Digital Slow Cooker

One of our favourite hobbies is cooking, but as self-employed and students we don’t always have the time. We read a lot about how people loved their slow cookers and decided to give it a go, and now it is one of our favourite apartment kitchen appliances.

It saves us a lot of time and makes incredibly tasty and healthy recipes.

3. Smoothie Blender

Another one of my favourites. I love making smoothies when I have a busy day ahead and this smoothie blender makes my life so much easier. You can literally add the lid and take it with you, there is no need to transfer the smoothie to any other recipient, which also means less cleaning.

4. Vegetable Chopper

Amateur cooks of the world, you NEED this. Chopping onions is really annoying, they make you cry and it takes a lot of time. If you can’t be bothered to chop onions every time you cook, this vegetable chopper is for you. This is one of the most useful apartment kitchen appliances we’ve ever bought.

5. Instant Pot

This is another of my favourite apartment kitchen appliances. This pot is a high-speed cooker that has a ton of features. It can steam rice and potatoes, makes yoghurt, it can make stews and many more things, so it definitely is one of those first apartment essentials you really need.

6. Always Pan

Let me introduce you to always pan, the only piece of cookware you will need from now on. This pan replaces your fry pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. I was hesitant at first because it is a lot of money for a pan, but this pan will be with me for the rest of my days.

It is a big investment, and I recommend you doing some research to see if it fits your needs. Minimalist Baker has a great Always Pan review that you should read before buying this pan.

7. 4-slice Toaster

Does my toaster match the colour of my brand? Yes, it does! I didn’t do it on purpose, but I am really proud of it. A 4-slice toaster was really important for us because we have breakfast together and we kind of need to be quick. This is one of the prettiest apartment kitchen appliances we own.

8. Breville VFM021 HeatSoft Hand Mixer

If you don’t have the room for a standing mixer – we can relate – this hand mixer will be perfect for you. We love baking and making nice sauces and we absolutely love this thing! We use it on a weekly basis and it just works so perfectly. Hand mixers are really important apartment kitchen appliances.

9. 2-1 Oven and Toaster

For those of you who are tight on space, this 2 in 1 option is a life-saver. This oven and toaster is brilliant to save some room in your kitchen, and it’s super handy. It is great to find apartment kitchen appliances that fit your needs as well as this one does.

10. Ninja Professional Plus Blender

I love my bullet blender, but this plus blender is marvellous. It has a lot of features and is perfect when making big quantities. It warms up and boils whatever you are blending, which is perfect for making soup and it SELF-cleans, isn’t that amazing?

11. Waffle Maker

What’s a Sunday breakfast without waffles? This Vonshef waffle maker is one of our newest apartment kitchen appliances and we love it. It is really easy to clean and makes the best waffles, it has definitely become one of our favourite first apartment essentials.

12. Toastie Press

A toastie press is one of those apartment kitchen appliances that you find every 15 years and feed off of it every day for a month, then save it again for another 15 years, but it is absolutely necessary to have one.

If you are British, you’ve probably have seen another type of toastie press, but this one seals the edges so the cheese – or Nutella – doesn’t escape.

13. Filter Coffee Machine

If capsule coffee is not your thing, this filter coffee machine is fantastic and will be perfect for you. I love my coffee machine but I did some research on the best coffee makers and this is one has great recommendations.

14. Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker

I do not own this yet nor I know anyone who does, but since I saw this sandwich maker I’ve been daydreaming about it. I love apartment kitchen appliances that make your life easier and you can use them for more than one thing, and this sandwich maker is just perfect.

15. Electric Raclette Grill

This is one of my favourite apartment kitchen appliances of all time. This thing was big in my family, pretty much like an every Sunday meal. It is a really fun way to cook together and gather around the table interacting with each other, and the melted cheese underneath the grill is just a brilliant idea.
