The Best French Press Gear
Yield Design - Glass French Press - 850ml
A press often sits out so it's nice to pick one that looks good. If you like to entertain this is a great choice. It's pricey, but worth it because it looks so elegant on the table.
Hario Metal Coffee Press - 300ml or 600ml
Hario products are always well made and we particularly like the fifties industrial style on this press, which comes in several sizes.
Hario Press & Skerton Plus Grinder
If you decide to grind at home but don't want to spend $100+ on an automatic grinder, the sturdy little Skerton is what we recommend. Ours comes on every holiday with us!
Other Coffee Equipment That We Love
Hario V60 Buono Kettle - 1.2L
This iconic kettle is worth buying for aesthetics alone, however it's also considered a must-have by coffee nerds because the gooseneck enables a slow, steady pour.
64 oz. AirScape Coffee Storage
The Airscape container is the best coffee storage out there because it has a double air seal. We love the satisfying "whoosh" the inner seal makes.
Hario Scale
This is a simple and well priced scale that does everything you need. We use ours for baking recipes when we're not measuring coffee.
Baratza Encore Coffee Grinder
The most affordable grinder on the market that meets our demanding criteria. There are much more expensive ones out there but we don't think it's necessary to spend more unless you're grinding for espresso.
The Best Aeropress Gear
AeroPress Coffee Maker
The original Aeropress is an essential piece of equipment, and once you've started using it, you'll wonder where it was all your life. If you often brew solo, don't wait another day.
AeroPress Go Coffee Maker
The compact and robust Aeropress 'Go' takes brewing on-the-go to another level. Hello hikers!
Able DISK-Fine Filter for AeroPress
An AeroPress always comes with 350 single use paper filters, and then you need to re-up. You can also get this reusable metal filter. Some folks prefer it because it lets more oils through for a thicker mouthfeel. We find it useful for when we run out of paper filters!

The Best Pour Over Gear
Kalita Wave Style Set
The Kalita Wave's flat bottom dripper helps achieve a steady pour, so it's perfect for a Pour Over newbie. It brews for 1-2 people.
Hario V60 Pour Over Setup
The Hario requires our full attention to achieve an even pour and we strongly recommend using a gooseneck kettle to get it right. You'll enjoy it if you're looking for full control of every variable in your brew. Brews for 1-2 people.
Chemex 10 Cup Coffee Maker
The Chemex is similar to the Hario V60 in that it requires a very slow and steady pour. However it enables you to brew up to 75g of coffee per batch, so it's more suited to entertaining. Plus it looks stunning!

The Best Automatic Drip Gear
Bonavita Coffee Maker 8 Cup
The Bonavita brews great coffee because it wets the grinds very evenly and the water temperature is precisely calibrated. It's the best automatic drip on the market.
Bonavita Coffee Maker 5 Cup
Everything we said on the left, but for a smaller household. The Bonavita brews into a thermal carafe, which keeps your brew wonderfully hot.
