Our verdict

For the price this is a dependable small press that toasts fast and evenly on ordinary sandwich bread, with the fixed hinge as the one real limit to plan around.

Overview

The Elite Gourmet ESM2207XSS is a compact 2 slice, 750 watt stainless steel panini press with a fixed hinge and non-stick plates, built for quick grilled cheese and tuna melts rather than thick deli sandwiches.

It stores upright to save counter and cabinet space, which several buyers cite alongside its cool touch handle and locking latch. Because the hinge connecting the plates is fixed rather than floating, it is really designed around regular sliced sandwich bread, and buyers who tried thicker or heavily filled sandwiches noticed the limit.

Who it's for
