1. Grind your beans to perfection with a burr grinder. It will take your coffee from MEH to AMAZING.
Why a burr grinder instead of a blade grinder? The grind is much finer with a burr grinder — you don't want those chunks. And whether you get an electric or manual grinder, always remember to clean it! Your investment will be useless if you don't keep it in tip-top shape.
2. After you've ground your beans to your liking, make sure you have a scale to keep your grinds in check.
3. Coffee scoops are necessary for getting the perfect cup... but how about one that's a bag closer too?!
Keepin' it fresh. Keepin' it good.
4. Every coffee lover should have a moka pot.
There are the classic aluminum ones (which are cheaper), but if you want a pot that lasts long, invest in stainless steel.
5. Interested in making pour-over coffee? How about a coffee maker that's in the NYC MUSEUM OF MODERN ART?
6. But before you get excited about making a pour-over, remember that having the precise water temperature is essential!
7. If you like someone a latte, a handheld milk frother is an excellent present.
8. Sometimes you just want a drip brewer to do all the work for you.
OK, so the great thing about automatic drip brew coffee makers is that not much work is involved in making the coffee. So if you're a no-nonsense person, but would still like a decent coffee, try this lovely machine. It comes in other cool colors too.
9. Here's a coffee filter made for a king (or queen)!
10. Nobody likes lukewarm coffee. What if there were a coffee tumbler that kept your coffee the perfect temperature?
11. Here's a mug that knows exactly how you feel when you get coffee.
12. And what's a better way to have coffee than with your favorite treat?
A mug that holds your cookie/churro/biscotti/donut?! Exactly what you need.
