Enhance your coffee setup for better brews.
Over time, you figure out what actually works. Not the most complicated setup, not the most expensive—just the one you reach for every morning without thinking twice.
With the right coffee-setup, you can maximize your brewing experience.
This is ours. A small, reliable rotation that covers both ends of the spectrum: the slower, more intentional cup when there’s time, and the no-fuss version when there isn’t.
Nothing overly precious. Just coffee, done properly.
What We Reach For
French Press
Simple, dependable, and hard to overthink. When there’s a bit more time in the morning, this is the move. It brings out a fuller body and gives you just enough ritual to make it feel like you’re doing something right.
Krups Coffee Grinder
Compact, consistent, and gets the job done without taking over the counter. Freshly ground beans make a noticeable difference, and this keeps the process easy enough to stick with.
5-Cup Coffee Maker
For mornings when the goal is simply to get coffee into the cup. It’s small, efficient, and fits neatly into the kitchen without asking for much in return.
Not every morning needs a ritual. Some just need coffee.
Nice to Have
Good Beans
It doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does have to be decent. We tend to rotate here—sometimes local, sometimes familiar—but always something we actually look forward to drinking. As one delicious option we turn to, produced locally in SoCal with lots of robust flavors, give Stumptown Coffee Roasters a try. New customers save 10% at StumptownCoffee.com with code SAVE10.
Simple Mug
You’ll use it every day. It might as well feel right in your hand. Some of our favorites even provide a little bit of a surprise!
