Coffee Makers & Kettles
When planning to make your cup of coffee in the morning, the first thing you need to decide is how you're going to prepare it. There are so many different ways, from French press to pour over, that determine how your coffee will taste. With so many different options for brewing, we had to select different coffee makers that give us a perfect cup every time.
If you're looking for a great blend of pour over coffee, you're going to want a kettle and a pour over coffee maker. The COSORI Electric Gooseneck Kettle heats on it's on base that comes with five variable presets to get the perfect temperature of water. With it's sturdy handle and well-designed neck, pouring boiling water got a lot easier and more precise.
To go with that kettle, you'll want a well-made pour over coffee maker to complete the process. Keeping with the same brand, the COSORI Pour Over Coffee Maker is made with heat-resistant glass and comes with a stainless steel double-layer filter for a richer, fuller roast without any coffee ground deposits.
Another popular way to brew your coffee is with a French press, which extracts all the essential flavor from coffee beans for maximum flavor without having to use a filter. The Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee and Tea Maker is made with durable, heat-resistant glass and stainless steel for easy use and clean. Just add ground coffee and hot water, and press your way to paradise.
But if you're looking for the best of both worlds for brewing, then look no further than the Aeropress Original Coffee Press that combines French press and pour over brewing techniques into one coffee maker. Agitation and pressure is combined with micro-filtration to ensure you're getting the best cup of coffee.

Coffee Accessory Essentials
Brewing the perfect cup of coffee does not just rest with the coffee maker you use. The whole process of making coffee and the experience of enjoying that beverage rely on different accessories to take your coffee game up to the next level. From ways to drink your coffee to getting it prepped, these are the essentials we recommend to add to your process.
The best way to drink your coffee is with pride. Feel your queer identity represented by the Applicable Pun Progress Pride Flag Mug that features a pastel-colored design of the Progress Pride Flag to show off who you are and the pride you have in yourself.
Sometimes drinking your coffee out of a mug does not ensure long-lasting temperature control for your beverage. A great way to ensure your coffee stays warm is with the THERMOS Stainless King Vacuum-Insulated Beverage Bottle that can keep your drink at the perfect temperature for 24 hours.
If you're a fan of using whole coffee beans during your roasting process and grinding them for extra flavor, then you'll need a coffee grinder. The Wancle Electric Coffee Grinder makes preparing your espresso beans easy and fast for when you're ready to brew your cup in a hurry.
For an accurate brew, it's best to measure things out. With the IZELOKAY 304 Coffee Scoop, you can rest assured that this stainless steel coffee measurer will give you a precise amount of coffee when preparing. Using this coffee scoop is a great way to determine the strength of your brew for days when you need a little pep in your step.

More Coffee Accessory Essentials
There are many different ways to store your coffee or measure it out, and there are different necessities you'll need to make sure your coffee is perfectly made the way you like it. Check out what our editors are using when preparing their coffee in the morning.
There's nothing worse than leaving your coffee in the original, opened container that it came in. There's no easy way to seal in that coffee freshness when using an opened container, which means a coffee canister is a major must-have for espresso enthusiasts. The Coffee Gator Stainless Steel Canister is air-tight and made with material to ensure the taste of your coffee isn't compromised.
Another great way to measure your coffee out for precise flavor involves something more than just a measuring scoop. The BAGAIL Kitchen Scale comes with a timer and high precision for accurate measuring. Weigh your coffee grounds on this scale and you'll be able to fine-tune your coffee taste however you like.
If you enjoy pour over coffee but don't have a built-in filter, then you're going to need disposable filters to ensure coffee ground bits don't make it into your mug. The Chemex Bonded Filter is fitted for all Chemex coffee makers with a 20-30% thicker barrier with speciality fiber design for a great taste.
Sometimes a plain cup of coffee isn't what you're in the mood for. From lattes to cappuccinos, the addition of steamed milk is paramount to a tasty beverage. To froth up that milk, you'll want to use the Zulay Powerful Milk Frother that easily and quickly spins up your milk for whatever coffee drink you want to make.

Premium Coffee Blend Picks
There are so many different types of coffee brands out there, each with their own unique blends and roast types. From well-known brands like Starbucks to premium offerings from boutique coffeemakers, Amazon has a lot of options to satisfy your taste buds. Here are the roasts we're particularly craving.
Always a popular choice, the Starbucks Medium Roast Ground Coffee comes in three varieties for you to sample. Included are their staple Breakfast Blend, House Blend, and Pike Place Roast. From toffee and dusted cocoa notes found in the House Blend to the brown sugar and sweet orange flavors found in the Pike Place Roast, Starbucks has tastes for every kind of day.
When it comes to a great medium roast from a coffee roaster, a great place to start is with Stumptown Coffee Roasters that makes for a great cup of drip coffee or a delicious espresso. Try the Holler Mountain blend that has notes of citrus zest, caramel, and hazelnut for a refined brew that bursts in your mouth.
Another brand we've been craving is Intelligentsia Coffee, whose whole bean coffee offers a savory side to traditional coffee flavor. The El Diablo blend is a must-try with its notes of blackstrap molasses, cola, and cacao. This blend may seem like it's for the extra bold, but being a medium roast, there's a lot for people to enjoy from a cup of this.
If you're looking for a complex but smooth medium roast from a gourmet coffeemaker, then you'll need to check out Vilar Coffee Roasters, whose Classic Blend has notes of maple and chocolate for a pleasant sipping experience that will make you sit back and truly relax.
