Nothing like a fantastic cup of coffee to change the course of your day. The first step? Carefully picked and fermented coffee beans roasted to perfection, and we have a whole bunch here. All this, however, goes to waste if you don’t match your ground coffee (instant coffee lovers, let us attempt to convince you, or check out our drip bag coffee options) to the right equipment. If you’re looking to match coffee to the equipment you already have, here are our guides for the Moka pot, south Indian filter, and French Press. And if you’re looking to buy equipment (or expand your collection), we have a range of brands that will sort you right out.
Brewing Equipment To Start Your Artisan Coffee Home Brewing Hobby
Cafflano
Those who cannot survive without your morning, afternoon, or evening cuppa but don’t trust any coffee but the one you yourself have made from start to finish, Cafflano is the brand to pick. For an all-in-one solution pick up the Klassic Pour Over coffee maker. Giving you the ability to perfectly grind your beans, and letting it brew and filter through its inbuilt coffee filter (and drink it from the tumbler in the end), take it and your coffee beans literally anywhere! The Kompact and Kompresso are perfect for those constantly on the go, and the Go Brew is ideal for home brewers.
Wacaco
Wacaco is a brand that caters to serious coffee lovers. They have options to grind and brew your coffee beans into the smoothest, richest espressos (Nespresso options available too!) in compact, nifty gear. Perfect to just chuck into your backpack, rucksack or tote, you have options that are battery operated as well as fully manual. The end result either way is a rich espresso shot that can rival any cafe’s version. To believe us, try the Minipresso available on LBB yourself!
DelterPress
For some people, the journey to the best cup of coffee never ends, and if you’re one of them, then DelterPress is what you need to try. Think of the smooth brew that comes from an Aeropress. Done? DelterPress works on the same principle, but better! With a unique Jet Seal within the press, it eliminates any inconsistent brewing that may happen in other manually controlled brews. Giving you rich, even coffee. At the moment they sell their presses, and some filter paper too.
Fellow
Oh, you like your coffee fancy, and as if a pro barista made it? Well, then you’ve got to invest in the equipment from Fellow. From stovetop to electric kettles to carafes to make those perfect pour-overs every single time, they have it all. They also have an AeroPress that makes ideal espressos. Right here on LBB, you can get yourself travel mugs, ceramic mugs and tasting glasses too. Go check it out. You owe yourself a good coffee machine if you appreciate good coffee!
Espro
What’s better than reading at a cafe with coffee in hand? Having a cup of coffee in hand, no matter what, even if you’re on the go! Enter Espro, which makes an ultralight travel press that helps you brew coffee easily, wherever you are. Made to last, The Ultralight only needs hot water and coffee. Mix it up, and in four minutes, you have your coffee ready. We love that the insulated walls keep the brew warm, even for longer durations, while the filter stops the extraction, and this also helps preserve the coffee without spoiling. If you’re not on the go, check out their solid, sleek French Press.
Budan
Moka Pot coffee or a light French Press, then you must look up Budan. Simple, lightweight, sleek and effective, the Moka Pot is a favourite for ease of use and it’s compatible with all types of stoves thanks to its unique base design. Phew! The French Press looks lightweight too, but don’t be fooled. It’s strong and makes you two to three cups of coffee, depending on the size of your favourite coffee mug! Speaking of mugs, here are some awesome mug and cup options for your coffee.
