Brewing
How you brew matters. Here are the brewers I trust to make every cup taste just right.
As a home barista, I have used several brewing methods and brewed several different coffees. The Aeropress not only makes great tasting coffee but this brewing method brings down the level of acidity that can make some coffee roasts “undesirable” to ...
AeroPress
A classic pour over method, the Chemex. Great for bringing out the flavors of any well roasted coffee. 🤙🏼
Coffeemakers
This is my favorite home espresso machine! Though I do not own one (yet) it’s on this list because it’s dope, and I like it. 🤙🏼
AnzaCoffee
A solid Moka Pot, and a staple in the kitchen tools for a home barista. Moka Pot coffee is in a class of its own, and one of my favorites. 🤙🏼
Bincoo 2-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker 120ML
A great espresso tool. Love the walnut wood and brass. Been using mine for 3yrs now. 🤙🏼
Zolunu Espresso Stirrer 5 Needles 0.4mm Walnut
Admittedly the French Press is my least favorite way to make coffee but not for reasons you may think. It’s really just the most clean up after brewing and I’m sometimes lazy and don’t want to clean it 🙃 But for a brewing method that can really brin...
DHPO Ceramic French Press Coffee Maker 22oz
So as a coffee nerd, I just had to get a cold brew set up as well. This one is a great option. I like the design of it and its easy to clean too. Which is honestly a big plus.
asobu Coldbrew Portable Coffee Maker 34oz
If you are looking for a conversation starter in the kitchen as well as a unique way to brew coffee, this is it! Most people have never seen a coffee siphon, so when I first saw one I was blown away. Not only does it make the brewing process fun to d...
Diguo Belgian Family Balance Syphon Coffee Maker
I love my Aeropress! And this Fellow attachment makes it even better. I never have to buy the paper filters because this comes with a reusable metal one and I can brew “Espresso Shot” coffee because of the special nozzle. No leaks, and higher pressur...

Looking for your next favorite roast? Start here. These beans never disappoint.
Fix Coffee Brand is always in my house. Especially a bag of Midway. It’s a great tasting medium roast that is great brewed in a pour-over, or even fine ground and used as espresso. Been drinking Midway for over 2 years. If you enjoy a great tasting a...
12oz Midway Medium Roast
I know, I know…another Fix Coffee Brand recommendation, but hear me out. This extra dark roast is so good! Roasted to the edge of being burnt, but not burnt. The smokiness and dark chocolate notes are a great match. I most often grind Shadow as espre...
12oz Shadow - Ultra Dark Roast
For years I keep going back to this coffee for espresso. The smell, the taste, and the fact that every bag is the same no matter when I buy it. That’s what you want in a whole been coffee. Consistency. 🤙🏼
Sugar Glider Espresso
Counter Culture Coffee has been making stellar roasts for a long time. And their barista trainings are second to none. Just like this medium roast. Nutty, sweet and creamy. Just like the bag says. Works great in lattes and is just as tasty black. 🤙�...
Fast Forward
Watermelon Candy, D’anjou Pear, Creamy, White Tea….Come on, who wouldn't want to try this?! I am a fan of Stereoscope Coffee and it's not just because They have a shop in my home town of Long Beach California. It's because of the taste and care they ...
Vietnam Dung K'No — Stereoscopecoffee.com
Seriously, there are so many great coffees from roasters all over the world. But why not try one from a roaster based in Raleigh North Carolina? Well, I can't think of any reason not to. Especially this one from Black&White Roasters. Flavor notes...

When your beginning to level up your home barista setup, one of the first and best things you can do is get a good conical grinder. Believe it or not this simple change in how the beans are ground can make a huge difference in the flavor of your coff...
OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder , Silver
If you’re getting into coffee in a seriously detailed sort of way, then you’re gonna need one of these. Properly measuring out your coffee beans, grounds and water by the gram can make a huge impact on the taste of your coffee. I got this scale when ...
BAGAIL BASICS Coffee Scale w/ Timer 0.1g
These orange 4oz cups are perfect for your morning shots of espresso on the patio. A bit of mid century color and easy care. They make other colors too, but I chose orange because I like the pop of color🤙🏼☕️
YINUOWEI 4oz Ceramic Espresso Cups Set of 2
My kids bought me this mug (in black) for my birthday a couple years ago because I was always complaining about having to re-heat my coffee while at the office. I LOVE this mug. Since I had the base on my desk I never have cold coffee anymore! And wi...
Ember Smart Mug 2, 10 Oz, White, App-Controlled
This quite possibly the best tasting Vanilla syrup I have ever had in my lattes. They sell out often so do yourself a favor and get to it asap (or as soon as they restock!) 🤙🏼☕️
Vanilla 750ml — Proper Syrup
Does my espresso machine have a frothing wand? Yes. Do I use it? Sometimes. Other times I use this frother. I dig the blue color and the warm or cold foam modes. Super versatile and dare I say quieter than the wand on my espresso machine, lol. If you...
