Tools

To make coffee at home, you'll need a few basic tools:

  1. Coffee maker or coffee brewing equipment: There are several ways to brew coffee at home, such as drip coffee makers, French press, AeroPress, pour-over, or espresso machines. Choose the one that suits your taste and budget.

  2. Coffee beans: Choose high-quality coffee beans that match your taste preference. You can either buy pre-ground coffee or grind the beans yourself using a coffee grinder.

  3. Water: Use filtered or bottled water, as tap water can affect the taste of your coffee.

  4. Coffee filter (if applicable): Some brewing methods, such as drip coffee makers and pour-over, require a paper or metal filter to strain the coffee grounds.

  5. Measuring tools: A kitchen scale or coffee scoop will help you measure the right amount of coffee beans for your brewing method.

  6. Kettle or pot: If you're making pour-over coffee or using a French press, you'll need a kettle or pot to heat the water.

  7. Mug or cup: Choose a mug or cup that can hold your desired amount of coffee.

  8. Optional accessories: You may also want to consider accessories such as a milk frother, a coffee grinder, a timer, or a coffee tamper, depending on your brewing method and taste preferences.
