Gourmia

What Gourmia does

Gourmia is a Brooklyn, NY-based designer and marketer of countertop kitchen appliances, founded in 2018 and operating as a privately held corporation. The company sells through major US retail partners (Walmart, Costco, Target, Best Buy, Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond, Macy's, Sam's Club, and others), Amazon, and its own direct-to-consumer e-commerce site. Its portfolio spans air fryers, indoor grills, espresso and coffee makers, ice cream and frozen-drink makers, pizza ovens, dehydrators, blenders, sous vide devices, and pressure cookers. Gourmia self-reports as the #1 US air fryer brand based on 2022 NPD Group data.

The company's product engineering centers on proprietary technologies including the patented FryForce 360° heated-air circulation system, a Smoke Extracting Technology for indoor grilling, a Smart Finish dual-basket cooking synchronization system, a folding Fry 'N Fold air fryer form factor, integrated temperature probes with auto-shutoff, and guided cooking prompts. Sub-brands include FoodStation (smokeless grill/air fryer), Versia (multi-function air fryer/grill/panini/multicooker), Panorama (windowed air fryer), SoftSnap (home soft-serve ice cream maker), and Pizzeria (800°F indoor pizza oven). Companion mobile apps exist for WiFi-enabled air fryer and sous vide products. The company claims several high-profile media placements, including Oprah's Favorite Things in 2017.

Gourmia generates revenue entirely through one-time hardware sales at price points ranging from sub-$50 entry-level air fryers up to ~$200 specialty soft-serve machines and higher-priced pizza ovens. Distribution is anchored in retail-exclusive product launches at major US mass merchants, with recent expansion into Europe via the Ambiente 2025 Frankfurt trade fair. Marketing combines PR Newswire press distribution, YouTube product videos, recipe resources, and direct-to-consumer apps. The company has not disclosed funding rounds, leadership team details, or financial results, and operates with a reported 11–50 employees.
