Made from tempered Borosilicate glass, this beautiful tea pot was designed by George Chen, chef and founder of China Live, a restaurant and marketplace designed to educate the San Francisco community on Chinese cuisine and culture. Equipped with a large infuser and handle made of bamboo and copper, it’s the perfect vessel to brew your favorite tea or present unique flowering teas. Plus, the elegant shape and delicate glass design makes it a beautiful centerpiece in your kitchen when not in use.

I have tried dozens of travel mugs/thermoses, and they all have shortcomings. They are either too big or too small; the coffee is cold after an hour; the pouring mechanism is awkward, making drinking a delicate act and effective cleaning nearly impossible. The elegant Kinto Vacuum Insulated Travel Tumbler solves these problems and more. It is not only aesthetically appealing but also smartly designed. There are two tops—the inner top allows one to drink coffee like a normal human while also keeping it hot. (There isn’t a spout, per se, but rather a narrow circular opening that directs a good flow of coffee so you don’t have to slurp!) And if you use the outer screw-top lid, this thermos won’t leak if you put it in a knapsack or car. Finally, the diameter is just right for picking up comfortably, even with smaller hands. Simple. Divine.

Extracting a perfect cup of coffee requires consistent water temperature: Too hot and the coffee will taste acrid, but too cold and the coffee will be weak and sour. From Fellow, a San Francisco startup that's a favorite among coffee connoisseurs, the Stagg vacuum-insulated dripper keeps temperature constant and prevents heat loss. Plus, the interior has a steeper slope than most pour-overs, maximizing contact between water and coffee grounds. A detachable bottom piece doubles as a drip cup and measuring guide. This taller XF model is designed so that you can fill up and leave to drip, combining pour-over and immersion brewing methods. The set includes a 20-ounce carafe made of hand-blown borosilicate glass, which has a longer heat retention and a double-wall construction—this makes the glass safe to touch when the carafe is full of hot coffee. We like how Fellow includes a silicone lid to keep coffee hot.

Eva Solo's smart, attractive tumblers are a beautifully designed upgrade to your everyday mug. The sturdy, dishwasher-safe porcelain body is wrapped in an insulating and grippy silicone sheath, which makes for a secure handhold and helps maintain the mug’s warmth, ensuring your morning cup doesn’t go cold too quickly. Without handles jutting out, these tumblers command less precious space in cupboards. At 12 ounces, they are ideal for milk-enriched coffee drinks, like lattes and cappuccinos, or big cups of tea or hot chocolate (plenty of room for the marshmallows). Family-owned Danish company Eva Solo was established more than 100 years ago and is known for its modern, effective designs. The company still works with lead design agencies to prioritize marrying form with function in their products.

Without handles jutting out, these tumblers command less precious space in cupboards. At roughly 7.5 ounces, these modest tumblers are designed for use with pod-style coffee makers, though obviously work for green tea, strong cups of coffee or a hot toddy. For dishwashing, the silicone should be removed from the porcelain base. Family-owned Danish company Eva Solo was established more than 100 years ago and is known for its modern, effective designs.

Made from stoneware glazed a minimalist matte black, this sculptural sugar bowl from Stelton’s award-winning Theo collection expertly combines form and function. The bowl’s light bamboo lid provides an organic touch and elegantly contrasts with its matte finish, while a petite cut out holds a spoon perfectly in pace when not in use.

Coffee lovers never need compromise again with this electric kettle, which is not only stunning in appearance but also super-efficient. It's designed by San Francisco startup Fellow, a favorite among coffee connoisseurs for high-tech and easy-to-use equipment. Simply turn a knob on the base to select your desired water temperature—between 135°F to 212°F—and Fellow's product does the work for you, with no more guesswork. There's even an optional 60-minute temperature-hold function for morning multitaskers or those who want refills.

Designed especially for making pour-over coffee, Stagg back-weighted handle will keep the center of gravity close to your hand even when the kettle is full, so you're not struggling to steady your wrist or hold the pot up. And the elegant spout is narrower than other models, for precision pouring. To match any kitchen setting, the kettle is available in a chic matte black, crisp matte white or modern polished-steel finish. Choose between .9-liter or .6-liter models.

This set of three reusable tea bags—made from sturdy, organic cotton muslin—are incredibly unique. To use, first poke the accompanying bamboo through the open edge of the fabric, then spread the bag open and add your tea. Finally, balance the stick across the rim of your cup as your tea steeps. In our testing, we were pleased with how well a single bag held up after repeated use. And we found that the bamboo stick is the right size to hold the bag in place, whether using a cup or a teapot.

The gorgeous Ratio Six is the slimmer, lighter-weight and more affordable version of our favorite automatic coffee maker, producing perfect pour-over coffee with the push of a button. No need to contend with a host of variables or settings—this machine does it all for you, from proper water temperature to blooming the grounds and even water disbursement. The “shower head” delivery system mimics a manual pour-over, and the machine also gives the grounds time to bloom before adding the rest of the water. The stunning glass carafe is laboratory-grade, hand-blown borosilicate glass that is resistant to temperature shock. The machine doesn’t have a hot plate, which tends to “cook” coffee and ruin its flavor rather than keep it warm, but there is an optional heat shield that completely surrounds the shower head during brewing to make an extra-hot cup of coffee.
