"   If you&amp;#039;re sending a teen off to college, chances are you&amp;#039;ve been hitting the stores stocking up on jeans, tees, and extra-long sheets and looking for the best buy on laptops and other electronics. But don&amp;#039;t forget the gear she&amp;#039;ll need to keep her energized... I&amp;#039;m talking coffeemaker, microwave, blender, and mixer.   A single cup brewer is ideal for campus life. It&amp;#039;s small, so it won&amp;#039;t hog too much space in an already crowded dorm room, and it delivers a single cup right into your mug of choice in less than a minute...talk about quick fueling! In our recent test of coffeemakers, our top rated single serve was the Bunn My Caf\u00E9. While it&amp;#039;s listed at $199, it&amp;#039;s presently for sale from the manufacturer&amp;#039;s site or amazon.com for just $99. Be sure to send regular care packages with coffee pods.   She&amp;#039;s going to miss your morning smoothies, but there&amp;#039;s no reason that she can&amp;#039;t learn to whip them up herself. The Oster MyBlend personal blender ($29.99) mixes right in a sports bottle so she can have breakfast during her dash to class. And doesn&amp;#039;t it come in great colors?  Buttered popcorn, mac &amp;#039;n cheese, ramen noodles... They&amp;#039;re all essentials for dorm life, which means he&amp;#039;s gonna have to have a nuker. Sharp Carousel Microwave Oven R-305KS is a good one to choose. It can also &amp;quot;bake&amp;quot; a mean potato.  Brownies, cupcakes, chocolate chippers: Does anyone graduate without eating their share? And from what we hear from the interns that pass through the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, there&amp;#039;s lots of homemade treats being baked from scratch in dorms and sorority houses across the nation. Outfit her with a Hamilton Beach SoftScrape Hand Mixer 62637 ($34.99). As it comes with a storage compartment to hold the beaters, they won&amp;#039;t get lost in a messy room.
