Crunchy or Creamy? This Peanut Butter Machine Goes Both Ways

Yeah, so the food processor's generally worked well enough up to this point when we need fresh peanut butter in a jiffy (sorry, couldn't resist), but c'mon: Just look at this Peanut Butter Machine from Vintage Electrics and tell me you wouldn't clear counter space for it.

The real reasons it's got us drooling, of course, aren't just aesthetic: Besides its potential to pay for itself after a few weeks' worth of DIY grinding, the machine -- whose two-cup hopper also accepts macadamias, cashews, sunflowers and a handful of other nuts and seeds -- pumps out warm, fresh nut butter in creamy or crunchy form. It doesn't start shipping until Sept. 29, though, so preorder now and start hoarding nuts in the meantime.

$49.98 from The Lighter Side Co.
