The Ultimate Coffee & Barista Accessory List - 2020
Here at TheKitchenBlog, we love coffee. We have tried and tested so many different types of machines, beans, ground, milk and everything in-between. We are on a mission to provide you with the best information to inform your purchase, and today we hope to do that. This post will showcase some of our favourite coffee and barista accessories which we think are (non)essential.
1) Artlive Insulated Coffee Cup
If you have a certain technique at home, or favourite product you use to curate your favourite coffee, why not use this double walled insulated coffee flask to carry it with you on the go! This mug keeps your drink warm for hours, literally hours! Similarly, you can add an iced latte and it'll keep that cold for hours.
We found this mug really easy to drink from and hold, with the outside keeping cool and not burning your hands (because of the vacuum). We loved the matte black colour and the overall design. The lid has a really good tight screw, unlike others, meaning you'll never spill or leak your drink on the go.
2) Nespresso Coffee Holder
If you're a Nespresso fan and are addicted to their pods and machines then we strongly recommend using this pod holder. We find without this our pods are never neat or ordered, making it harder to find the pod we want. This design, not only looks really stylish, but make finding your pod so easy.
A must have for any Nespresso drinkers.
3) Chocolate Shaker with 16 Stencils
If you like to make barista-quality coffee at home, then this product will help. Essentially, this is a shaker with a filter, which can be used for chocolate, cinnamon or any other spice you desire. The product comes with 16 different stencils, allowing you to decorate and craft your own branded coffee at home, whilst adding to the taste.
Our favourite Stencil is the coffee bean outline, what would be yours?
4) Tassimo Coffee Holder
Tasssimo make great machines, and with that comes pods. Pods are revolutionary to the coffee world, but sometimes can clutter up your kitchen. This is somewhat more pertinent for Tassimo given some products require two pods per drink and also the pods are a lot bigger than others.
This specific product can be ordered in different sizes and colours too (black or chrome and 56 or 60).
5) Wooden Coffee Scoop and Bag Clip
If you're more traditional with your coffee and prefer ground or beans, then this product is really cool. A simple but useful wooden coffee scoop, which also doubles down as a bag clip, preventing your beans / ground from spoiling.
Btw, each scoop is 1 shot! So its a hand measurement too.
6) Dolce Gusto Coffee Pod Holder
For all you Dolce Gusto drinkers (funnily also owned by Nestle which own Nespresso), another holder which can neatly organise your coffee pods. This specific one holds 36 pods, and rotates too.
We think this product is great quality, especially with the anti-scratch pad underneath. The only downside is the pods aren't included 😉
7) Coffee Mug Warmer
Do you ever find yourself making a coffee, walking away and forgetting, coming back and sipping on a cold coffee. Horrible right! Well, not anymore.
This coffee mug warmer from Yurnero keeps your drink at your ideal temperature. This product is corded, so will need to be near a plug though. Nevertheless, a great product which solves many problems.
8) Splend Camera Lens Coffee Mug
We came across this product and absolutely loved it. If you're a photographer or knows someone who is, this could be a really cool gift?
This coffee travel mug genuinely looks like a camera lens, given its the same size and has the same functions. The mug is spill proof, eco-friendly and portable.
Overall, a really unique design, with a cool sucker on the bottom to prevent knocking over.
9) KitchenCraft Le'Xpress Electric Milk Frother
If a cappuccino is your favourite drink, then this will be your new favourite friend. Sometimes machines don't froth up the milk as much as we'd like, or make it too frothy that it's not enjoyable. Well, an electric milk frother whisk is probably the easiest way to froth up your milk.
Simply touch the button and enjoy the froth. Perfect for travelling!
10) Coffee Definition Poster
For those art lovers, or real coffee enthusiasts, have you seen this cool definition art! A bit of a trend at the moment with this design, but this product is essentially a minimalist quirky print (no frame) of the word coffee and its definition.
A cool and quirky piece, which could fit any kitchen or office.
Our Verdict
Overall, we love coffee. Not only for the taste, but the variety and culture coffee has. It genuinely is one of the biggest commodities, and something pretty much all of us enjoy everyday. We know a lot of you are at home now due to Coronavirus, so why not get some cool coffee accessories and become a home-barista.
