For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

It's not just coffee and water (and a brewer) to make the perfect cup: you'll need several tools in the toolkit to help with the process, as well as to ship the finished drink to work or clean up the brew. Here, we revolve around some of our favorite accessories, gadgets and supplementary projects, which will help make your coffee life complete.

Best scale: American weighing scale AMW-SC-2KG digital pocket scale

$20

Mainly purchased in Amazon

This small pocket scale is my personal secret weapon when it comes to making good coffee anywhere. With its large capacity (meaning you can brew a full Chemex on it) and an accurate reading of up to 1/10 grams, batches can be fine-tuned within a very strict range, even on larger batches. Use it to measure the precise brewing of coffee beans, all the weight according to the weight to ensure the ideal proportion of extraction. However, like most scales, the disadvantage is that the liquid can damage the display, but if you can make coffee without spilling it (it's a difficult feat for me! ), this cheap scale will last countless coffees.

Best non-electric coffee grinder: Porlex JP-30 stainless steel coffee grinder

$55

Mainly purchased in Amazon

Manual grinder for kitchenettes, quiet mornings (these electric models can be so loud! ) and personal brewing is a very good choice-but if you make coffee for the crowd, you may not want to start. Porlex's ceramic burr is quite easy with Baratza in terms of durability and quality, while the tapered design means that Porlex can be ground more evenly than Baratza's flat cloth, despite the extra elbow grease. Can range from coarse tuning to almost shattering, burrs can take some trial and error to find your perfect scrub, but it's worth the effort. Weigh your beans and put them in a miniature hopper to get the exact coffee grounds, but know that the Porlex can only hold 30g at a time, roughly enough to make 16 ounces of beer.

Best coffee bean storage: coffee cup vacuum sealed coffee container

$15

Mainly purchased in Amazon

Do you know not to store coffee in the coffee machine? So how should it be stored?

Of course, you can store the coffee in the original package, or put it in any empty storage container, but this container is designed to maintain the peak flavor of the coffee. It owns a pound of coffee and has a patented system that creates a partial vacuum while still allowing the coffee to be degassed without returning oxygen to the container, affecting the fresh taste of the coffee.

The design of the container is complex, but it is easy to use. Just press the button to remove the lid and press the button again when replacing the lid-no pump pump is required to remove excess air.

Containers should be washed by hand, but if you only use coffee, you should not often need cleaning. It comes in many colors, so you can keep it apart from decaf or seasoned coffee on a regular basis.

Best coffee spoon: 1Easlylife endurance stainless steel coffee spoon set

$10

Mainly purchased in Amazon

To be honest, scooping is never the most accurate or even consistent way to measure your coffee: beans are so different in shape and size that they blend perfectly into a measuring cup or spoon every time, or even pre-grinded coffee can vary with grain size. (in addition, fresh is the best: first measure and then grind to get the best quality. That is to say, if there is no coffee making, a spoon can be a good tool to go to, if a scale is not a problem. These two cute little ergonomic spoons come in two sizes and are suitable for smaller and larger brewing. For consistency, try to keep your pickpocket habit: just fill it in, don't pile it.

Best electric coffee grinder: Baratza Vario W986 planar ceramic coffee grinder

Buy at Amazon

Another weight-based tool to keep the brewing ratio and formula on track, Baratza has added a scale to its design, as well as a sensor to automatically stop the burr when the desired weight is reached. The manual feature allows you to grind as you like, although once you are weighed in advance, you may never go back. Ceramic burrs are durable and produce uniform particle size. Don't forget to adjust the roughness or fineness of the grinding to taste and strength, because the amount of coffee alone will not be the only quality dictator in your cup.

Best coffee filter storage: acrylic coffee filter shelf with cover

$24

Mainly purchased in Amazon

Need a neat place to store your coffee filter bag? We like this acrylic durable it is not only stylish, but also very powerful and can hold about 100 tapered paper filters (including). The bracket itself is durable and has a dustproof cover that helps keep the filter clean while the filter is stored, and is designed to sit well enough on your kitchen counter.

One of the customer's complaints is that when you turn it on and off, it squeaks a little, but the lover hasn't stopped recommending it to others. The convenience that people appreciate and the aesthetic appreciation of the product.

Best timer: Taylor precision products four-story kitchen timer and whiteboard

$12

Just as brewing weight is the key to accurate and delicious coffee, brewing by time is an easy way to give your morning ritual a huge boost. Not only does this timer provide an accurate count of seconds (most brewing time is preferably between 3-5 minutes), but if you feel like you like it and want to line up everything, it can handle several inverted cones at the same time. An impressive batch. The additional whiteboard means that you can even record each one, mark the coffee type or beer type, and even use it to record grinding size changes to run compare and optimize your technology.

Best Travel Cup: KeepCup Travel Cup

$27

Mainly purchased in Amazon

If you think you need an ugly, buzzing stainless steel travel cup to bring coffee to work or play with you, consider again: KeepCup's beautiful and surprisingly durable toughened vitreous body is large enough to withstand bumps and falls (believe me, I have definitely tested this firsthand) and keep the coffee good and hot for any commute.

Best coffee maker cleaner: Joe Glo Espresso machine / coffee pot cleaner

The ring around the brewery disappoints you. This powerful powder is great when hard water stains appear in coffee oil and coffee brewing equipment.
