Cuzen Matcha Home Tea Maker brews fresh “matcha-presso”

Americans go through a lot of coffee. About 400 million cups a day in the US alone. Many of us can’t even begin to think about being around people or doing any work until we have our morning cup in us. And tea drinkers are just as obsessed with their drink too. In 2018, Americans consumed over 3.8 billion gallons of tea. If you translate that to money spent on coffee and tea, it’s a daunting number. On average, your cup of Starbucks costs about $5. Every day. But what if we told you that you could make a couple of investments and make the perfect mug of your favorite at home? It’s possible, promise. All you need are the best brew gadgets, and you’ll be a barista in no time.

Plus, once you can make the best brew at home, you can have it any time you want it without the hassle of changing out of your pajamas to make that coffee or tea run. And once you start focusing on making a better cup at home, the options are endless to experiment with your own blends, brew times, and ordering special leaves or grounds.

So, without further ado, here are some of our top picks to get you on your way.
