My Go-To Coffee Equipment
This little Italian stovetop maker is my daily ritual. It gives you bold, rich coffee that’s close to espresso without needing a fancy machine. It’s super easy to use, durable (mine’s 4+ years old!), and makes the whole kitchen smell amazing while br...
Μπρίκια Espresso Bialetti
💬 If you’re into pour-over coffee, this is a game-changer. The thin gooseneck spout gives you total control over your pour, and the design is so sleek it looks great just sitting on your counter. I use it every day with my Chemex.
Stagg Pour-Over Stovetop Kettle | Fellow® Official Store
This grinder was a serious upgrade from the cheap ones I used before. The grind is super consistent (especially for pour-over), and I love that I can take it with me when I travel. Grinding your beans fresh really does make all the difference in tast...
Coffee Grinder
My Favorite Coffee Beans
A Greek brand I absolutely love. The Rosebud blend is smooth, aromatic, and perfect for both moka and espresso machines. It has hints of chocolate and citrus — subtle, but delicious. Always fresh when I buy it from their store or online.
Rosebud Espresso Blend
This one’s bright and fruity with floral notes — perfect for filter or V60 brewing. It feels light but layered, and I always grab a bag when I want something a little different and refreshing.
KUDU Coffee
When I want a quick espresso and don’t feel like grinding beans, I reach for Illy. It’s super consistent, smooth, and not too bitter — definitely one of the best pre-ground options for moka or espresso lovers.

Little Extras That Elevate My Coffee
I bring this everywhere. It’s durable, leak-proof, and the size fits most espresso-based drinks. Plus, it helps cut down on single-use cups. Bonus: baristas love when you bring your own cup.
KeepCup | Reusable Coffee Cups & Water Bottles
A little indulgent treat! These biscuits are buttery, slightly sweet, and pair perfectly with an afternoon coffee. I love serving them when I have friends over — always a hit.

Sometimes I want my coffee a bit more fun — especially in the summer. I add just a touch of this syrup to iced lattes or cold brews. It’s sweet, but not overpowering, and you only need a small amount.

My Favorite Coffee Spots in Athens
One of the most well-known coffee spots in Athens — and for good reason. Their coffee is next-level, they roast their own beans, and the space is modern and relaxing. Also: brunch. Seriously, try the pancakes.
Home • The Underdog
Tucked away near Syntagma, this little spot is easy to miss — but once you find it, you’ll keep going back. Amazing single-origin brews, good music, and some of the friendliest baristas in the city.
