What are the Best Appliances for an Office Kitchen?

Several appliances are worth considering for an office kitchen. 

What you opt for largely depends on your budget and the space you have to work with. So, if you have a large kitchen area, you may be able to opt for a larger fridge and freezer combo, whereas a smaller space may call for a bar fridge or slimmer combo option. 

Appliances to consider for your kitchen space include:

• Sandwich press/contact grill
• Toasters - particularly toasters capable of handling four or more slices of bread at once for efficiency
• Fridge and freezer combo, bar fridge and freezer combo, etc.
• A large kettle for tea lovers
• Microwave
• Food processor/blender for smoothie lovers
• Coffee maker - this can include espresso machines, capsule machines, coffee grinders, and instant coffee. Also, consider standalone milk frothers

How Can I Create a Functional Office Kitchen on a Budget?

There are a few approaches you can take to set up a functional office kitchen while still being budget-focused. Two initial steps are to focus on 1) prioritising essential supplies and 2) purchasing multipurpose products.

Essentials include things like a good fridge, a kettle for boiling water, a coffee maker of some kind to cater to caffeine lovers, a microwave for heating and reheating foods, a toaster, and a sandwich press/contact grill.

You can get more out of multipurpose essentials. So, for example, a toaster oven that can toast bread, make open-toasted sandwiches, heat slices of pizza, etc. Air fryers are another versatile multipurpose product. Many air fryers can fry, roast, bake, grill, toast, make popcorn, etc. They offer genuine value for money with how many functionalities they bring to the table. You could also invest in a coffee maker that handles hot and cold beverages with ease rather than having to purchase two separate products. 

Keep the same in mind with furniture - think of an expandable/collapsable table that could be used for simple food prep, eating, group activities, and so on. The more versatile and multi purpose the items you use are, the less you’ll have to pay in the long run.

While disposable cutlery, dishes, and cups can be appealing for their ease of use and no need to clean up afterwards, be mindful that they will cost you more over time. Where possible, purchase reusable kitchenware and pair them with an energy and water-efficient dishwasher for long-term savings.

Another suggestion is to purchase bulk kitchen supplies where possible. This is a great option for non-perishables or any other goods you know you’ll need a steady supply of - paper towels, dishwasher detergents, cleaners, etc. Buying in bulk may seem expensive upfront, but it’s cheaper in the long run because the cost per item is significantly lower. It also reduces the frequency of reordering, saving both time and additional shipping costs.

Finally, thanks to the extensive range we sell, you’ll be able to find so many quality products at affordable prices. Just take some time to peruse our range and identify those brands that are known for withstanding the rigours of a busy kitchen space.
