Okay, now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s get down to specifics.
Once you’ve made up your mind, invest in all the trinkets and gadgets your heart desires. Here are a few of our favorites.
“If coffee is the nectar of the gods, then this is Thor’s coffee machine.”
The Oxx Coffeeboxx is crushproof to 1,500 pounds, dustproof, spillproof, waterproof, and impactproof — and still pumps up one of the best travel drinking cups you can get in just three minutes. Need a coffee? Just pick it up and throw it in the trunk.
Just because you’re out and about doesn’t mean you have to settle for mediocre coffee. This dripper is made from foldable, portable, and incredibly lightweight stainless steel that fits perfectly over your camping mug for a quality cup of coffee in the great outdoors. Once you’ve finished brewing, it can be folded up to take up almost no space in your backpack.
Combining time-honored craftsmanship with contemporary design, this piston brewer is begging to be displayed in your devilishly chic loft. (Or at least make you feel like it’s your life, even if it’s actually a pathetic two-bedroom apartment you share with three other guys.)
Visually, this thing is a hit. (What else would you expect from Japanese manufacturer Hario, whose name literally means “King of Glass”?) But this thing is also very much for the patient, with a brewing time of 5-7 hours. Good things are always worth the wait, right?
This pour-over kettle has a stunning, functional design that takes your brewing to the next level. It has a precision pour spout, a built-in thermometer to measure the temperature, and a balanced handle that shifts the center of gravity toward your hand. Perfect pours every time.
This handy tool acts as a measuring spoon and then doubles as a clip to keep beans fresh. We love the clever design, which also saves space.
Then you definitely need a coffee cup holder. Just make sure you look piercing and stay secure, friends.
Because 1. They aid reduce waste and 2. They allow for basic and productive utilize of (much better) coffee grounds.
And these come in a set of two. One for you and one for your loved one. Or both for you, in case you break one, which we both know will happen at last.
This little buddy does a trick. It’s like buying a fancy coffee at a coffee shop, but this way you don’t have to put on pants to walk down the street.
Or your beer will stay colder for longer. Either way, this thermos is double-walled and vacuum-sealed to keep your beer at the right temperature.
Not only is the AeroPress basic to travel with, but it also helps reduce the bitterness and acidity that can sometimes be found in coffee. You get a velvety, prosperous cup every time, and there’s no excuse to add cream and sugar.
This coffee maker is designed to slowly release water into the filter, allowing for a ponderous brewing process. Which in turn brings out the full flavor of the beans. This bad boy is built to last and is designed to bring water to a boil quickly.
Okay, so this is your typical mason jar. But with a koozie! And it’s only $10! You’ll be drinking from it every morning, so go ahead and buy a few.
This portable device lets you make espresso no matter where you are. No batteries or cables required.
The Duo Coffee Steeper takes just three minutes to fill a cup of heated coffee, and it’s in a class of its own. You have the power to make your coffee as forceful (or as delicate) as you want, with aromas rising from the upper chamber. When your perfect cup is ready, simply twist the silicone center and release the liquid into the lower chamber. The best part? You don’t need any paper filters to get started.
“ROK is like the best pen in the world, but it’s all about writing!” It can take a while to get the hang of it, but once you have it, this coffee bean juicer is worth the effort. It’s a great tool that doesn’t require electricity and even comes with a milk frother. Not to mention a 10-year warranty.
The brewing has begun. Let’s drink the bottoms.
