When we were in college my husband, Matt, worked at a local coffee shop as a barista. Ever since his days making coffee for overtired, stressed out college students he has developed a passion for all things coffee.

I love the mornings when I hear Matt in the kitchen tinkering with our many assorted coffee instruments. Boiling, steaming, measuring, mixing, frothing, he works calm and focused.

His love of coffee has even passed onto me, and I have to say, nowadays I make a pretty good homemade latte.

Having the right tools makes it so easy to build your coffee bar and make amazing coffee right at home. So if you have a coffee lover in your life or are one yourself, I hope you'll find these accessories helpful.

Tools for Coffee Lovers

1. Manual Coffee Grinder 

• Matt assures me that a coffee grinder is key when making a delicious cup of coffee at home. He highly recommends going for a manual coffee grinder. It will give you more control and consistency over the grind of the coffee beans.

2. Pour Over Coffee Dripper

• This cone-shaped dripper uses a filter and ground coffee to make a rich, smooth single cup of coffee. Read more about origins of pour over coffee here.  

3. Cold Brew Coffee Maker

• This brewing system steeps ground coffee in cold water for several hours and produces a strong concentrate with a smooth, less acidic taste.

4. French Press

• A filter-less device that produces a coffee with a more robust taste. This coffee brewing device consists of a coffee pot with a fine mesh plunger. Coffee is made by placing coarse ground coffee in the pot along with hot water and then using the plunger to press the grounds.
• To top it off, a French press can double as a milk frother. First pour some warm milk into a French press and give it a few pumps. The milk will froth better than some of the machines made for this very function. Check out this blog post for tips on using a French press to froth milk.

5. French Press Travel Mug

• This is used the same as a regular French press, but yields a single-serving of coffee on the go. It is great for camping trips.

6. Stovetop Espresso Maker

• Also known as a "moka pot," this contraption makes a strong coffee, similar to espresso, after steam pressure pushes boiling water up through ground coffee. This handy little device is what we use to make delicious homemade lattes.

7. Handheld Milk Frother

• This little tool is great for frothing and mixing. Small, light and inexpensive, a handheld milk frother is easy to store. Plus, it makes amazing foam for your very own homemade lattes.

8. Milk Frother and Steamer

• A must for homemade lattes. Not only does it froth and steam, but this gadget also makes cold foam. It is so easy to use and creates amazing foam.

9. Cezve

• A small pot, usually made of copper, designed specifically to make Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is a sweet and creamy espresso-like coffee. It takes skill and practice to get the art of Turkish coffee down, but for a coffee aficionado that's part of the fun.

10. Turkish Coffee

• If you buy a cezve, then you need to have the Turkish coffee to make in it.

11. Turkish Coffee Mugs

• If you buy the cezve and Turkish coffee, then of course you will need the corresponding, beautifully adorned coffee cups and saucers to serve the coffee.

12. Yeti Insulated Coffee Mug

• This insulated mug keeps your hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold, it's amazing! I love that it actually looks like a coffee mug and it comes in so many different, beautiful colors.

13. Nutpods Creamer

• This is my absolute favorite creamer. It is dairy-free and made of a combination of almonds and coconut cream. Nutpods is so thick and creamy and froths up beautifully, perfect for homemade lattes. Plus it comes in many different, delicious flavors. My favorites are caramel, pumpkin spice, peppermint mocha, and coffee cake.
