Creating the perfect cup of coffee is an art form that requires more than just high-quality beans and a good brewing method.
The right accessories can make a world of difference, ensuring consistency, enhancing flavours, and making the process more enjoyable.
In this ultimate guide, we will explore essential coffee accessories, from grinders and scales to water filter and coffee brewer, highlighting their importance in the coffee-making process.
1. Coffee grinders
A quality coffee grinder is arguably the most critical accessory for coffee lovers. The grind size and consistency play a crucial role in the flavour and quality of your coffee.
There are three main types of coffee grinders: blade grinders, burr grinders, and manual coffee grinders or hand coffee grinders.
Blade grinders
Blade grinders use a rotating blade to chop the coffee beans into smaller pieces. While they are more affordable, they tend to produce uneven grind sizes, which can affect the coffee's flavour.
Burr grinders
Burr grinders use two revolving abrasive surfaces to crush the beans into uniform particles. This type of grinder allows for precise control over the grind size, ensuring consistency and better extraction. Burr grinders are favoured by coffee enthusiasts for their superior performance and ability to produce a range of grind sizes, from coarse to fine.
Manual coffee grinders or hand coffee grinders
Manual coffee grinders, also known as hand coffee grinders, are the most compact and budget-friendly options compared to electric coffee grinders. Apart from some effort required to grind the beans, these devices are known for producing consistent coffee grounds and often come with adjustable settings to achieve various grind sizes.

2. Kettle
A kettle is an essential accessory for brewing methods that require precise water temperature, such as pour-over and AeroPress. Electric kettles with temperature control features allow you to heat water to the optimal temperature for your coffee, ensuring a consistent brew.

3. Coffee brewer
The coffee brewer you choose can significantly impact the flavour and aroma of your coffee. From pour-over drippers and AeroPress to Espresso machines and drip coffee makers, each brewing method offers a unique coffee experience.
Pour-over drippers
Pour-over drippers allow for manual control over the brewing process, giving you the ability to adjust the water flow and extraction time. This method produces a clean, bright cup of coffee with a pronounced flavour profile.
AeroPress
The AeroPress is a revolutionary coffee press that has become a favourite among coffee enthusiasts for its ability to produce smooth, rich coffee with minimal bitterness and acidity.
Espresso machines
Espresso machines use pressure to extract coffee, resulting in a concentrated and flavourful shot. They are perfect for those who enjoy espresso-based drinks like lattes and cappuccinos.
Drip coffee makers
Drip coffee makers are convenient and easy to use, making them a popular choice for daily coffee drinkers. They work by heating water and dripping it over ground coffee, producing a consistent and smooth brew.

Our coffee brewer selection combines functionality and aesthetics, offering a range of brewing options to suit your preferences. Whether you enjoy the manual control of a pour-over or the convenience of a drip coffee maker, our brewer ensures a perfect cup every time.
4. Coffee filters
Coffee filters are a crucial component of many brewing methods, affecting the clarity and taste of your coffee.
Paper filters
Paper filters are disposable and come in different thicknesses, affecting the coffee's flavour and body. They are a popular choice due to their convenience and effectiveness in producing a clean, bright cup of coffee.
5. Coffee scale
Precision is key in the coffee-making process, and a coffee scale helps you achieve that by accurately measuring the coffee grounds and water. This ensures consistency and allows you to experiment with different ratios to find your perfect brew.
Our coffee scale
The Fellow Tally Pro Coffee Scale excels with ultra-responsive accuracy to the tenth of a gram. Its Brew Assist mode guides you through the pour-over process, maintaining your selected coffee-to-water ratio. The scale also features timer mode and weight mode. With a premium reflective glass base, metal touchpoints, and a clear OLED screen, it offers both functionality and style.
6. Water filter
The quality of water used in brewing coffee can significantly affect the flavour and aroma. A water filter helps remove impurities and enhances the overall taste of your coffee.
