The Best Things That Kitchn Staffers Scored on Prime Day

"My husband’s a teacher and he loves his caffeine. His students are currently learning from home while he teaches from his empty classroom. I got this Keurig mini for him to make this stressful situation just a little easier. (Thank you, teachers!)" — Tracey Gertler, Kitchn Production Editor

"I've been wanting to buy a kettle for a long time now. I recently have gotten into a nightly routine where I make myself a cup of tea to end the day, and having a kettle would be a small little luxury! This one was on sale for less than $20, so it's a luxury I can easily justify and will be using every single day." — Jesse Sczewcyzk, Studio Food Editor

"I've been thinking about investing in a Nespresso machine for a few months now (I already have the Aeroccino and I'm obsessed!), and with the colder weather coming it seemed like a good time to do it. I was going back and forth on the Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi Prime Day deal, but when I went to make the purchase it was sold out! I took a look around and found a similar deal (albeit just the machine, and not the bundle) with Vertuo Plus at Target, and I liked the swivel option for the water tank. I'm so excited to try it out this weekend!" — Hollis Miller, Manager, Email & Acquisition

"I've been using a blender that I bought from India for a few years now and decided it's time for an upgrade. I'm so excited I snagged this Vitamix deal because for starters, the price was UNBEATABLE and it's going to be perfect for all the smoothies and nut butters I make. Oh, and incredible for grinding spices as well!" — Pari Sampath, Digital Media Coordinator

"After 15 years with my old Zojirushi, it’s time to treat myself to a new one!" — Amelia Rampe, Studio Food Editor

"I purchased the Twilight Blue Kindle paperwhite! I had a kindle and absolutely love it but it was time for an upgrade. I love the different color options and am excited to be able to use this one everywhere I go, whether in a pool (since it's waterproof) or at home! Can't wait for this to arrive!" — Laina Zissu, Senior Manager, Programmatic Sales

"I am using the $10 credit I scored by being a Prime member and shopping at Whole Foods this past weekend towards this cookbook. It's been on my wishlist for a while now and seeing as it's Kitchn's Cookbook Club pick for November, I felt like it's the perfect time to add it to my collection." — Sheela Prakash, Senior Contributing Food Editor

"I love making layered bake dishes over the weekend and freezing them for the week ahead, which is why I can never have too many casserole dishes. I already have this Le Creuset dish in the Meringue colorway, and given this deal decided to add the Flame color too. I have been mentally queuing up everything I'm going to bake in it. But first: an extra-large batch of sweet potato brownies!" — Sholeen Damarwala, Commerce Editor

"As the colder weather is settling in, I've been reaching more and more for a hot cup of tea, and a plug-in electric kettle lets me boil water in just a couple minutes — plus it shuts off automatically when it's done, so I don't have to worry about racing over to yank a kettle off the stovetop if I'm on the middle of a Zoom work call." — Brenda Schmerl, Senior SEO Manager

“Never going to put my gorgeous cutting board away. Finally bought a Boos cutting board! Thanks for the quick tip Maxwell! (FYI: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CAvoIsvlNvW)" — Nina Raja, Senior Video Producer
