9 Best coffee accessories for brewing at home

For true coffee connoisseurs and caffeine junkies, brewing up java is part of the daily routine. Want to get the maximum flavor out of your beans? Here are the best coffee accessories for making coffee in the comfort of your home.

• Which is better: French press or pour over? Pour-over filters provide good flavor, but the coffee will be stronger if you use a French press.
• Is it worth grinding coffee at home? Absolutely. Most of the flavor is released at the point of grinding. The longer you wait, the more flavor will escape.
• Is it worth grinding coffee at home? Arabica tends to have a more pleasing, rounded flavor. However, robusta is cheaper and contains twice the amount of caffeine.

There are many ways to make a cup of coffee. You can fire up the espresso machine, fill your French press, or pour over a filter. No matter how you like your joe, we want you to enjoy it. Here are some of the best coffee accessories for home brewing:
