Hmmm, 5 as of right now:

1) Double sided 2 burner sized cast iron grill/griddle. Grill (meat, veggies, anything) on one side, make pancakes, eggs, etc. and brown anything on the other.

2) Any press pot. I have a huge one for home and just started playing with an "Australian" press for work (http://www.timolino.com/products/apa05.htm). Really great for 1-2 cups with hot water from the office coffee maker.

3) Hand mixer. A Braun of some sort that has a few attachments. Essentially a baby Cuisinart that will also let me blend in the cup/pot.

4) Slow cooker/Crock Pot. Don't fear the scary crock pot meals of the 70's. It's great for experimenting and coming home to a hot meal.

5) Meat/Oven dual digital thermometer. I can slide it into the meat, set the preferred oven and meat temperature walk away. It lets me know if the oven gets too hot and when the food is done. I'd prefer to have this built in to my oven, but that's not going to happen until I build my own kitchen.

On a coffee sidenote, does anyone have an opinion on the best fast and east espresso? I've been playing with a nespresso at work and starting to love it, but I'm open to all opinions.
