Now that we're well into fall and winter is fast approaching, the top November 2014 kitchen ideas put a lot of emphasis on tools for warming food and drinks, as well as entertaining.
To make the process of boiling the perfect cup of tea, or brewing a pot of coffee, there are several notable innovations like the Jura Cup Warmer, the Bruvelo, the Imperial Drip and the Miito that take a lot of the guesswork out of your hands through automation.
With Thanksgiving coming up, there's also a huge focus on building community and camaraderie in the kitchen, this is seen in kitchen equipment like Epicureanist's oversized eight-bottle ice bucket, the Hotpot-Set and clever vacuum-sealed storage devices from Evak, which help to deal with the abundance of leftovers from a large gathering.
