Coffee is life–and these products make your regular cup even better

Who doesn’t love options? This highly-rated design from Hamilton Beach can get you started with a pot a in the morning and deliver just a single cup during the afternoon slump. It’s simple and easy-to-use with a programmable feature and auto-shut off after two hours.

​If “fuss-free” is your number one concern, Keuring’s 4.6 star rated model gets fresh brewed coffee in your hands in less than one minute. It accommodates four different cup sizes (6, 8, 10, or up to 12 oz.) and features a strong brew option when you need a little extra. Of course for those non-coffee moments, there’s also teas and hot chocolates to choose from.

Not a must by any means, but if you’re serious about your coffee ritual, you know that grinding your own beans is the key to the ultimate cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, they can be super pricey. (Like used car prices pricey.) While this one is still an investment, it’s on the lower end of the spectrum and comes super highly recommended by baristas and home coffee connoisseurs alike.

And no matter how fast you go through it, keeping beans and grounds fresh makes a big difference. This sleek stainless steel canister from Montana-based Planetary Design features a patented dual lid system that presses the air out and locks freshness in. It also looks great on your countertop!

If you drink your coffee with milk, this bestselling hand milk foamer will take your coffee game to the next level in no time. For about the same price as a latte out, it turns your regular cup into something extra special. (And it’s highly reviewed on Amazon, like, 35K+ 5-star reviews good.) It can also be used to make the perfect hot chocolate for your kids in the winter!

Of course if you really want to up your coffee game, this would be the way to do it. The raved about Aeroccino3 Milk Frother from Nespresso makes hot milk for creamy lattes, hot milk foam for a slam dunk cappuccino and even cold froth for your summer cold brew. Best of all, it does it in less than a minute with the press of a button. We’re not going to promise it will help you break your going out habit, but it certainly won’t hurt.

To keep your coffee hot while on the go (or you know, chasing after your kids inside the house) the Fellow Carter Move Mug is key. The unique design features a snap-in splash guard to keep it from making mess while the inside ceramic coating keeps it hot without that dreaded metallic taste of stainless steel or plastic. And because the scent can come through, you get that full “best part of waking up” aroma as you sip.

So, on average how many times do you reheat that same cup of coffee every morning? Once because someone pooped their pants the second you poured it. Twice because you were then interrupted by a scavenger hunt for someone’s left rain boot. Three times because you completely forgot about it in the microwave after the boot was found, right? WELL. TIMES HAVE CHANGED, MAMA. Enter the Ember mug . Packed with an app-enabled heating element, the Ember mug keeps hot beverages at exactly the temperature you tell it to long enough for you to drink it. Honestly, I never expected to love it so much—but after being gifted one for my birthday, I swear, my morning coffee has never been so enjoyable.

Speaking of cold drinks, if you are more into cold brew instead, this coffee maker has a super fine mesh that will keep grounds out of your freshly brewed coffee. You can also brew coffee ahead of time and leave it inside the fridge for next morning when you’ll be needing some. (Read more about why we love it here !)

If you prefer it black, more power to you. But if you’re like us and adulterate your cup until it’s on the verge of becoming dessert, flavored syrups are a must. This trio from women-owned Daysie are all made with organic cane sugar and wildflower honey and other all natural ingredients–which is more than we can say for anything you’ll get at Starbucks. And honestly? They taste even better.

For many coffee lovers, pour-over coffee is the preferred method, but when you’re a busy mama, you need something that is just a little bit easier and a lot more automatic. Which is why we love this electric version from Cuisinart. It keeps your coffee at your ideal  temperature (no more cold coffee, mama!) and you don’t have to fuss with any paper filters since it comes with its own permanent built-in filter.

However, if you’ve got the time and dedication to the craft, we have to recommend the gorgeous pour over set up from the pros at Fellow. Their carafe-style design makes it super simple to brew a consistently amazing cup of coffee and if you make more than you need, the silicone cap stores it for later. Add in one of their stunning electric kettles and you’ve got the ultimate coffee set up.
