”Breville ikon Combines Tea and Toast (into Teast)
I doubt that it's all that more space efficient to combine kitchen gadgets, but it can certainly save you a few precious counter plugs. The ikon by Breville combines your toaster with a kettle, the perfect breakfast machine for when your visiting friends from overseas ask for something other than your trademark Egg McMuffin on a plate. At $130, it's the same price as Breville's LED-gauged standalone toaster. So before dropping any cash, decide if it's more important for you to have hot water or a kitchen that glows as unnaturally bright as your entertainment center.

I need this. It's a microwave with a built-in toaster, combining two of the three appliances I actually use into a single smorgasbord of food-warming convenience, perfect for my munchkin-sized counter. The other is a George Forman-esque grill—all other electric kitchenwares are frivolous and silly. In fact, if LG could somehow convert the top of this mutant puppy into one, or bolt a steak toaster onto the other side, this would be the most harmonious kitchen appliance ever, the true kitchen in a box. I'm waiting. [core77]

Soyabella, Auto Soymilk Maker
We prefer drinking from cow whenever possible, but the Soyabella soymilk maker, an auto soy grinder and roaster that makes soymilk with the touch of the button, interests us nonetheless. Just add water and soybeans and you'll have fresh "milk" in 15 minutes. But to ensure that it doesn't collect dust after your two-week soy phase is over, the Soyabella features a grinder that's usable for nuts, grain, coffee beans, you know, stuff that needs a good grinding. Pick one up for $130. [product via appliancist]
