They always say the best way to a man’s heart is through is stomach. But guess what — girls love food too. Why settle for rich, unhealthy regular ice cream when you can make soft and healthy delectable gelato right at home? The GM600 features a built-in compressor that brings the ingredients to temperatures below freezing, which frozen bowl ice cream makers cannot do. You can also make multiple batches continuously instead of having to wait to re-freeze the ice cream bowl. So if you need a few minutes to cool down that spicy relationship, look to the DeLonghi GM6000 for quick Italian chill. $299 @ Casa.com
5. Smell: Nuova Simonelli Oscar Espresso Machine
