Kitchen & Dining

Going away to college can be a challenge as well as an adventure, but dorm kitchen essentials can help you feel right at home from day one. A dorm fridge is a must for keeping you hydrated with cold refreshments, and a dorm coffee maker helps see you through early morning classes and late study nights. Keep your brain food handy with essential dorm food storage solutions, and warm up quick meals with your space-saving dorm microwave. At Bed Bath & Beyond, we know what it takes to fuel your brain and body for dorm life. We’ve curated a great selection of dorm essentials just for you. What items do you need for your dorm kitchen? Choose from must-haves like small appliances, cookware, and storage. When you arrive well-provisioned, your new digs will feel more comfortable and homey.

Coffee makers come in all sorts of styles and sizes, so there’s sure to be a model that suits you. If you’re a purist, you’ll love the convenience of a drip machine with pre-sets. For lattes and other barista-style brews, pamper yourself with a pick from our selection of upscale espresso machines with frothing wands. We even have French press options and cold brew carafes. If you're a tea lover, you’ll find that a coffee maker is still an important part of the quintessential dorm experience. That’s because our coffee machine selection does much more than brew up delicious coffee. One of our space-saving Keurig® brew stations is ideal for an afternoon chai tea pick-me-up or a bracing English Breakfast cup to jump-start your day. Choose from single-serve machines in all your favorite colors and carafe/cup combos to keep your entire study group on track.

No student lives on coffee alone, so you will also need dorm cooking appliances and cookware that enhance convenience without creating clutter. A dorm microwave requires only a modicum of counter space but does everything from heating up leftovers to cooking dinner. Browse our Black & Decker™ selection for several quality options in microwave ovens. You’ll also need a dorm fridge for storing staples like water, dairy products, and chocolate. Choose your favorite from micro-mini models that will fit almost anywhere or small freezer-top refrigerators that provide a bit more interior space.

Don’t forget to add dorm food storage to your college dorm kitchen essentials list. Our selection of storage container sets and singles includes top brands like Rubbermaid®, Pyrex®, and more. They’re perfect for keeping foods fresh and separate from your books and laptop. Simply stack them up beside your microwave for quick access when you need a high-protein snack or energizing treat. We have lots more ideas for outfitting your college dorm kitchen, too. Whether you need a personal blender for fresh fruit smoothies or a countertop ice cream machine, you’ll find plenty of options from customer brand favorites like Ninja®. Shop Bed Bath & Beyond to get everything you need to keep yourself healthy, happy, and well-supplied from freshman year through graduation.
