Originating from the 9th-Century Ethiopian Highlands, the bean-shaped seeds of the Coffea berry are responsible for empowering a sleep-deprived world to move forward with productive gusto. Here are some coffee-making accessories that will leave you with a barista-worthy brew.
There's nothing like coffee to open your sleep-lidded eyes to life and the potential of each day, but first things first, you need to identify your bean and blend of choice, as well as the grade of coffee grounds you love the best. Regardless of whether you most enjoy the elegantly rich flavour notes of premium quality Arabica beans, the sharp smokiness of Liberica, or the sturdy bitterness of Robusta, you mustn't use long-ago ground beans that have been sapped of all flavour nuances. Your best cup of coffee springs from freshly grinding your beans at home, and this requires a top-notch grinder that can efficiently manage the grade you want, whether that's the ultra-fineness required by the intensely piquant Turkish coffee, the sweetness from coarse coffee grounds used for cold brews, or the medium-grade blend used for flavoury French Press coffee.
As versatile as it is delicious, a lifetime is barely enough to experience all the palatial wonders that can be derived from coffee, from the light fruitiness of white or cinnamon roasts and the chocolaty nuttiness of medium-dark roasts to the full-on flavour invasion of caramelised bittersweet dark roasts. However, there is such a thing as an extra dose of coffee, especially when you're experimenting with finer grinds, and this requires you to insert a filter, such as a Kruve screen, that will prevent your brew from getting murky without compromising on complex flavour notes.
Different grades and roasts are elevated to their most gratifying spectrum of flavours only with the right apparatus, and this entirely revolves around your personalised preferences. For instance, if you're enamoured with the chocolate-coated almond undertones of medium-dark roasts and fancy a medium-coarse grind, then the two most suitable techniques would require a drip or pour-over coffee maker. If you prefer super coarse variations and hanker after medium-light roasts, the French Press is ideal for getting the maximum strength from these more delicate varieties.

If you're looking to beat the heat or to slip in some extraordinary flavours into your usual coffee regimen, whether that's chocolate mint, iced boba, caramel and sea salt, or tiramisu, there's nothing like a slow-steeped cold brew. Unlike the typical iced coffee, which is brewed hot and later refrigerated, cold brews are silkier and richer in flavour, lacking the acidity of a quick-fix coffee. A cold brew bottle is essential for the fresh medium-fine grind to steep in cold water for the required number of hours, leading to an exquisitely fizzy and flavoursome thirst-quencher.
A milk frother or whisk is essential to lend your everyday cup of coffee that extra oomph by creating textured and delicious heaps of milk foam, which also proffers the ideal platform for coffee art that will wow all those at home!
