Summer is officially here, and our editors are trying everything possible to stay cool. From portable fans to a perfect road trip cooler, we're all about beating the heat. Iced coffee drinks have been our go-to lately, and our food editor shares her new favorite espresso machine that she calls a "coffee shop-level experience."
Looking for more kitchen gadgets? Our editors share their favorite smoothie essentials, toaster ovens (so you don't have to heat the whole house up turning on the main oven!), and portable dishware. From kitchen essentials to summer hosting must-haves, these are the products our editors are loving this month.

Our Place Wonder Oven
"This wonder oven is the perfect hybrid between functional and beautiful. Whether I need to roast chicken, air fry bacon, toast sourdough, or bake muffins, it's my perfect adult easy-bake oven. Don't even get me started on the gorgeous blue color in my kitchen!"
— Ginger Perra, Social Media Editor

Magic Bullet Blender
"Summer is smoothie season, so that means I need to have a go-to blender. My Magic Bullet Blender has been everything I need to experiment with fun smoothie combinations. Plus, it makes the perfect size for one smoothie, and the mixing cup doubles as a drinking glass— perfect for blending your smoothie and taking it with you."
— Claire Hoppe, Contract Editor

L'OR BARISTA Coffee & Espresso System
"I make my coffee at home every morning, and this machine has transformed it into a coffee shop-level experience. I love it. The finished cup is the perfect balance of coffee and crema—I don't even need to add milk or cream."
— Sarah Martens, Senior Food Editor

Rifle Paper Co. Shower Curtain
"I love anything in a Rifle Paper Co. print, but their new collection of percale shower curtains as part of a collab with The Company Store might be my favorite. They add a bright pop of color to a small bathroom while instantly elevating the space. I personally love the Garden Party print because it makes a bold statement, but the curtains also come in black and white florals that are more subdued."

Oyster Tempo Cooler
"I never knew how exciting a cooler could be until I got this one. I used this on a recent road trip (where the highs were in the 90s) and I'm obsessed—from soda to ice cream, everything stayed chilled. The best part? You don't even need ice. Just place cold things inside and they'll stay impressively cold (which also means you don't have to save space for ice!). I also appreciated the sleek design from product to packaging, and that it is recyclable. You can buy the cooler on its own, or upgrade to the bundle, which includes a carrying strap and ice packs. It's a splurge, but totally worth it!"
— Ella Field, Contributing Editor

Crow Canyon Enamelware
"This summer we're hoping to host friends outdoors so I decided to invest in a set of enamelware plates and tumblers. It creates a summery and fun look to the set table. The best part is everything is easy to carry outside and there is zero stress about broken dishes."
— Casey Oto, Visuals Editor

Battery-Operated Stroller Fan
"I purchased multiple of these last year and am using them like crazy again right now because I am not a fan of heat, and neither are my little kids. They wrap around just about anything I put the kids in—wagons, strollers, car seats—but can also be attached to treadmills, etc. They're also great at deterring bugs from buzzing around my baby, which is peace of mind."
— Sheena Chihak, Editorial Director
