COFFEE GADGETS FOR HOME

When the alarm goes off—considerably earlier than you ever want it to—the first thing that probably races to your mind is, oh sweet, sweet coffee where art thou? Sure, some can argue that they prefer a cup of tea in the morning, but all you coffee fanatics out there know that’s just no way to live. And when you take a moment to really cherish that first cup, there simply isn’t a better way to start the day. While it’s easy to find a favorite cafe and cruise through every time you’ve got the itch, having a true barista setup at home is an absolute must. It doesn’t have to be extremely lavish, but a kettle, modern mugs, and the proper bean will rid any chance of a case of the Mondays.

Cast iron in the kitchen can’t be beat and when it’s entrusted with transporting your precious beans, the HMM Cast Iron Coffee Sqoop is unmatched. The Sqoop is handmade with a wood handle that perfectly complements the 150g of measured performance. One scoop or two, the HMM Cast Iron Sqoop guarantees delivery of your beans to the grinder and/or filter.

To ensure days, if not weeks, of the freshest coffee the Miir Coffee Canister is the vault of choice.

The pour-over is the cool kid way to brew coffee and has a real zen garden appeal as you steep the awaiting beans. The GINA is an award-winning smart coffee device that turns the morning blues into end of the rainbow gold. A custom valve controls the drip while an integrated scale keeps tabs on the production. And because it’s 2020, the GINA has an app so you can brew from a distance. The GINA is the ultimate pour-over and even if coffee is not your thing, it can handle tea with ease.

The Fellow Stagg EKG+ Electric Kettle will quickly take your countertop display and morning caffeine game well beyond the highest peaks.

The matte black coloring has the appeal and feel of cast iron, and on the counter, for everyone to see, it fills the gaps in the conversation for you and your sleepover friends. You spent the time to brew the perfect cup, it would be a waste to enjoy it out of anything other than the Mugr.
