Must Have Accessories for Coffee Lovers

For coffee lovers, there's nothing like that first sip of warm coffee in the morning. If you're coffee obsessed, here are some products that you may want to add to further enhance your coffee drinking experience. Perhaps best of all, every product listed is $30 or under.

Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee Maker

If you're still using the traditional drip coffee maker, it's time to upgrade to a French Press. This particular model features a heat-resistant borosilicate glass carafe and stainless steel plunger. The fine mesh filter works to extract all the grounds without absorbing the flavor like paper filters. Depending on how much coffee you consume, you can choose from four different sizes that go all the way up to 51 ounces.

French presses are available at a variety of different price points, but this one offers a good combination of solid construction and durability along with value with a price of around $30. The classic design will allow you to brew a delicious cup of coffee in just a few minutes.

Smart Coffee Warmer Coaster

Smart Coffee Warmer Coaster It is easy to sit down at your desk, get wrapped up in answering emails, and completely forget about your coffee. Before you know it, you have a lukewarm cup and you are making your first trip of many to the microwave to heat it up. This smart coffee warmer is the size and shape of a coaster and doesn’t need to be turned on and off. Simply plug it in and the weight of the mug on the coaster will trigger the heating element. There is also an indicator light so that you know it is on and working. You can safely keep your coffee warm and ready to drink throughout the day.

Battery Powered Milk Frother

With a handheld, battery-powered milk frother, you don’t have to be a professional barista or have expensive equipment to make lattes and cappuccinos at home. In just 15 seconds, you can whip up some foamy milk to add to your favorite coffee drink. There are plenty of different models on the market for $15 or less.

Measuring Spoon/Clip

This measuring spoon and clip coffee accessory will have you wondering, “Why didn’t I think of that?” It's a simple, two-in-one device that will keep your bagged coffee securely shut and fresh while also making sure you always have a measuring spoon handy to make your next pot of coffee.

Retro Coffee Grinder

There are plenty of electric coffee grinders that will instantly pulse your beans into fresh ground in a matter of seconds. If you are looking for something a little more interesting to add to your kitchen, check out some retro-inspired hand grinders. The metal hand crank design will still produce evenly ground beans, but with a decidedly old-school look and feel that is sure to be a conversation piece.

Instead of expanding your mug collection, invest in a few great coffee accessories that you'll use practically every day.
