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.
