A “Really Cool Item” for your Kitchen; A Wine Refrigerator:  If you truly want to achieve “Gourmet Kitchen Status” and you love to enjoy good wine with your meals, then you should consider a wine refrigerator. It’s become an increasingly popular item to incorporate into the kitchen décor. They are available in many different sizes - from under the counter models holding 50 bottles, to ceiling height, drawer models that can hold a collection of 300 bottles.  

Anti Bacterial Countertops: Although our jury is still out on them, fact is that the kitchen can be a fertile breeding ground for bacteria, mold, mildew and microbes. If left unchecked bacteria levels can double in number every 20 minutes. Now you can win the battle with germs by purchasing a new fabricated countertop with Microban protection.  Available through several manufacturers, the countertop fights the growth of microbes that can also cause stains and odors on kitchen surfaces. Because Microban protection is built-in, it won’t wash off or wear away providing continuous antimicrobial protection for the life of the product.

Built In Coffee Makers: Since most adults in America awake with the need for a good cup of coffee, many homeowners have been bringing a gourmet coffee shop right into the kitchen. Once an item only the rich and famous could afford, new built-in specialty coffee makers have come down drastically in price and can be full plumbed and wired so that all you need to do is periodically load some coffee and press a button.  One top rated and very affordable model we found, was by Miele. For about $2000, you can get a unit that dispenses coffee and espresso on demand, and always with premium results.
