ULTIMATE COFFEE LOVERS' GADGET GUIDE

As the coffee scene continues to bloom, and customers ditch the big chains for specialist cafes, choosing top-tasting beans instead of over-roasted robusta, there's still an assumption that you can't brew a good cup at home.

BREWING ON A BUDGET

With only a little investment, home-brewed coffee can have all the sophistication of its cafe-based counterparts

HARIO V60 DRIP DECANTER 700ML

Hario's V60 is iconic and changed the coffee industry forever. The latest Decanter Pour Over combines the brilliance of a Chemex with the brewing quality of a V60. You can make it as complex or as simple as you'd like and enjoy a thoroughly aerated, drip-brewed cup of the good stuff for a remarkably minimal outlay.

AEROPRESS GO COFFEE MAKER

It's revolutionary for a reason, and it doesn't matter which one you get. The classic AeroPress is cheap and robust, while the Go is slightly smaller but just as good, delivering outstanding coffee each and every time. With a shatterproof design, you'll quickly be able to brew up a single cup for your morning commute, in the office, or while camping, complete with all those beautiful tasting notes and more that come from a good roast.

LAVAZZA A MODO MIO MILK FROTHER

It's not pristinely steamed milk from your favourite barista, but it's close. For cappuccino or latte-style milk, a milk frother will work wonders. Stick blenders are long gone: now, solid units and magnetically levitating whisks rule. Avoid the overly expensive ones, and save some cash for quality milk.
