Kitchen space is pretty minimal in college. Even if you live in a house, you probably live with 4+ people and sharing counter space is not ideal. So, stock your kitchen (or your dorm room) with some of these multi-use and mini appliances to make the best use of the room. Cooking should be fun, not cramped.
Multifunction Breakfast Center
This breakfast center by Elite Kitchen includes a coffee brewer, toaster oven, and griddle so you can make your breakfast all in one compact spot.
Portable Blender
This portable blender by Vitamer takes up minimal space. You can even store it on top of your mini fridge in the dorm and still have room for your coffee maker.
Keurig Mini Single Serve Coffee Maker
This mini Keurig is less than 5 inches wide and brews any cup of coffee between 6-12 oz. It even has spot to store up to nine K-cups in the back.
Mini George Foreman Indoor Grill
This George Foreman grill makes about two servings of burgers, chicken, veggie patties—whatever you're in the mood to fire up on the grill. And, you can store it vertically to fit it into tight spaces.
Sodastream
Rather than fill your mini fridge up with a 12-pack of LaCroix or Diet Coke, make your own bubbles with a Sodastream. You don't even have to plug it in; the carbonation comes from an attached (but usually sold separately) CO2 tank.
Mini Air Fryer
This mini air fryer by Dash can fry your foods using less oil and less mess. Make some bombass sweet potato fries, chicken wings, or fried pickles for game day.
Portable Cold Brew Maker
Save yourself a trip to the coffee shop and make your own cold brew at home or on the go with this portable cold brew maker by Asobu.
Mini Donut Maker
OK, so maybe this isn't totally necessary, but mini donuts are awesome. Make your own with this mini donut maker by Brentwood.
Kenmore Mini Fridge
This mini fridge by Kenmore is sleek and chic with it's vintage door and mint green color. Place this in your dorm room or hide one away in your college house bedroom—eight roommates sharing a fridge is never fun.
