While I occasionally dabble in other caffeinated beverages, and even—gasp—non-caffeinated ones, there's no doubt about it: I am a coffee person. My morning hasn't properly started till I've had my first cappuccino, or an iced latte in the summer, and my afternoons are made all the more productive with a quick cortado.

The Best Milk Frothers for Creamy, Dreamy Foam

I need multiple drinks at all times. There are practical ones (hello, water) and just-for-fun drinks, like fizzy kombucha and sweet, syrupy soda. Plain and simple, you’ll rarely find me without a beverage—or two or three.

I put great care into settin…

I put great care into setting myself up for refreshment success. That means tools and accessories that make drinking anything better, like glass straws, fun cups, and when I’m in need of caffeine, a reliable milk frother.

The Best Cold Brew Makers, According to Experts

I used to think that my usual black drip coffee with a squeeze of honey was a super-easy drink that I could make with my eyes closed. But after speaking with five coffee experts including enthusiasts, baristas, and brand founders, I’m convinced that co…

I know many people like to head out to their favorite coffee shop and pick up their usual order, but for me, my first cup of the day always has to be at home simply for the fact that I want my caffeine and I want it fast. While my black drip coffee doesn't take long to make in the morning, cold brew is made overnight, so there's nothing to do when you're bleary-eyed and tired. Instead, coarse grounds are steeped in cold water for at least eight hours and the result is a smooth concentrate that you can jazz up with ice, honey, or whatever you'd like.

Moccamaster & KitchenAid Teamed Up for the Most Colorful Collaboration

Two of our favorite kitchen appliances—a KitchenAid stand mixer and a Moccamaster coffee maker—are now available in the exact same hue: Beetroot, a deep purple-red color that was named KitchenAid’s 2022 Color of the Year earlier this year. For the first time ever, the two brands have joined forces to release matching countertop appliances in the rich purple hue. Do I already own a Moccamaster? Yes. And do I use my KitchenAid stand mixer on a weekly basis? Yes. Will either of those facts stop me from adding this rich purple hue to my online shopping cart? No.

How to Make Coffee Every Which Way—From Classic Drip to Pour Over

I started drafting this guide to making coffee while lying in bed early one morning. I hadn’t had any coffee yet, and I looked across the room wistfully at my coffee machine. (I live in a studio apartment, so yes, my coffee maker and bed are technically in the same room.) I wondered how I could get it to brew itself so that I didn’t have to get up, in the meantime I am using single serve coffee bags to make it faster. This article, unfortunately, will not tell you how to do that. But it will tell you how to brew every type of coffee, from dependable drip to fancy French presses and everything in between. I’m not by any means a coffee snob. I wish I could get myself to slowly pour hot water from a gooseneck kettle over coffee grounds, slowly extracting their flavor, letting the subtle notes of orange and marzipan energize me. I wish I could detect dulce le leche and green apple and tobacco in my specialty beans. I wish I could become a coffee sommelier, able to tell the difference between Italian and Ecuadoran beans. But I’m not that person. Read More >>
