Everything You Need to Make a Great Cup of Coffee

Your Back-to-School Energy Boost. No Images? Click here   Essential Equipment for the Best Cup of Coffee Back-to-school season is officially upon us. That means back to crazy mornings hustling the kids off to the bus, long afternoons dreaming of beach weekends past—and for some of you, it might even mean heading back to school yourself. The best way to push through the back-to-school blues? A good cup of coffee. Here's what you need to get the job done. Coffee Grinder The Krups coffee grinder is easy to hold, handle, and store—perfect for anyone tight on space. Its one-touch button makes it simple to operate, quickly yielding a fine and consistent grind that even a novice coffee drinker can't mess up. Pourover Coffee Brewer Another way to step up your coffee game is a pourover coffee brewer. This small, solid-porcelain piece is perfect for both the home and the office. Don't forget your filters. Electric Kettle To make a cup of pourover coffee, you'll need a kettle with a long spout for precision pouring. Our favorite is this electric model, which lets you adjust the temperature to brew your ideal cup of joe. Automatic-Drip Coffee Maker If you're more into the traditional automatic-drip coffee maker, invest in one that will work well and last. Our favorite is this Bonavita, which is governed by a single switch, making the brewing process incredibly simple. It's also the one we use in our office. Coffee! Most importantly, you're going to need a good bag of beans. Want to drink like you're working at Serious Eats HQ? We've been brewing our way through a bag of Intelligentsia beans in the office.
