For barista-level coffee drinks at home, most people assume you need a fancy (and bulky) espresso machine or complicated gadgets to get the job done. But just one brew with the London Sip Stovetop Espresso Maker proves that wrong. Unlike other stovetop brewers that aren’t compatible with all burners, the London Sip works on any cooktop because it’s made from rust-proof, non-corroding stainless steel, not aluminum—we also like the long heat-proof handle that protects our hands from steam. Simply add hot water to the chamber, fill up the filter basket with coffee grounds and set the stove to medium-low. As the water in the chamber boils, steam in the pot will create pressure, forcing the water up through the grounds to brew a full-bodied, concentrated cup of coffee.

Compact with only a few pieces to assemble, the London Sip is a quick and easy way to make anything from lattes to espresso shots at home with ease. Best of all, unlike some smaller pots, the London Sip can brew up to six cups (equivalent to six shots of espresso), so you can make more than one drink at a time.

Hario’s V60 Coffee Dripper is one of our favorite ways to brew a great cup of coffee. We love the pour-over method, which allows you to control the nuance and flavor notes of your coffee, but most designs are made of fragile ceramic or glass. Hario’s alternative is made of light stainless steel. It’s durable—great to travel with (especially with its removable silicone rubber base)—and it conducts and retains heat well for a hot, flavorful cup every time. The overall design has been around since the ’80s, but now with ribs to keep filter paper from getting stuck on the sides and a larger hole for a faster flow and more clarity in the cup. The conical shape also allows for a deep layering of coffee grounds—pour quickly for a lighter, delicate cup or slowly for a heavier, fuller flavor. Plus, the V60 is large enough to make up to four cups of coffee. You’ll never need your bulky Mr. Coffee again. Available in Matte Black or Silver.

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.

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.

Tea is ingrained in Moroccan culture, and this set of six 8-ounce tea glasses with intricate decorative etching offers an exquisite link to it. The fnar glasses—named after an antique style of oil lamp—are intended to serve traditional Moroccan tea, which usually is a mixture of Chinese green tea, mint and sugar. But the intricate etching also make them decorative enough to be used as candle holders or in centerpieces. Casablanca Market, one of our favorite producers of Moroccan cookware, condiments and spices, is an eco-conscious company, using recyclable materials and employing sustainable practices whenever possible. And they strive to provide financial security for the craftspeople who create their wares, helping to preserve and secure their artistic and culinary heritage.

The most flavorful coffee relies on freshly ground beans—as soon as coffee beans are ground, exposure to air and water begins to dull the flavor—but most grinders are electric, clunky and expensive. We like Hario’s Skerton Pro Ceramic Coffee Mill, a compact, hand-crank burr grinder perfect for both travel and home use. It adjusts to any grind size and its crank rotates smoothly, unlike those of most hand grinders. The ceramic burrs in this grinder transfer less heat, so the tool stays cool while shaving the beans rather than cracking them like some grinders do. Plus, your beans will stay contained in the chamber without bouncing out, while the screw on lid allows you to bring your ground coffee on the go.

Hario’s Handy Tumbler is the perfect size for sipping anything from water and juice to coffee and tea. Designed with a slight curve, the shape of the cup helps accentuate the aromas of your drinks, especially coffee, which ensures you take in the full flavor. The sturdy heatproof glass and thin rim make it suitable for just about any beverage, even wine and beer. And once you’re done, pop it in the dishwasher.

Made in Japan from durable glass and BPA-free Tritan lids, these Charmy Clear jars are our go-to for easy storage. Made from scratch-resistant glass, with a wide mouth design and an easy-to-twist transparent cap, these stackable jars are perfect for storing loose-leaf tea, spices, dry goods, oils, vinegars and more—in the fridge or on the counter. Or try them for pickling, as they are acid-resistant. Every piece in the Charmy line is finished with thoughtful details, like a textured edge around the lid for easy gripping and opening that will still stack flat with the other jars. And when you’re done, simply pop them in the dishwasher or run them under hot water before their next job. Available in three large sizes.
