KONO 90th Anniversary Dripper for 1-2 people

Kono products have always had a loyal following, especially the Kono dripper. The flavor profile is distinctly more characterful than Hario V60, and the dripper colors are also more vibrant, unlike Hario which only offers basic color schemes to choose from.

Tiamo Conical Filterless Personal Cup

This dripper from Tiamo, the king of domestic coffee gadgets, can be described as simple and practical. Basically, as long as you know how to add coffee grounds and pour water, you can brew a cup of coffee with decent quality. Plus, it's filterless, making it both eco-friendly and practical.

Hario V60 Glass Dripper + Taiwan Glass Server

Although I just spoke ill of V60, I have to admit that V60 is still the most common and easiest-to-use conical dripper. Moreover, it's economical and offers stable quality. However, Hario servers are quite expensive. Fortunately, Hario's OEM manufacturer Taiwan Glass also produces their own branded servers, saving many cafes with clumsy staff who frequently break servers a lot of money.

Emalia Olkusz Enamel Mug

Ceramic mugs, especially from Starbucks, must be boring to receive by now, right? The hipsters in the coffee world have switched to enamel mugs. Not only do they come in diverse colors with great design sense, but they also carry a vintage style. Every time I use one, it reminds me of my military service days...

Barista Gear 700cc Latte Art Pitcher

If you've used RW, BMW, and BG pitchers, BG is basically the clear winner. Besides its solid materials, the shape is also specially designed. Whether you're a beginner practicing latte art or an expert challenging difficult combination patterns, it's very easy to use. It can be called the Taiwanese premium choice in the pitcher world.

Driver Adjustable Cold Drip Coffee Maker

Driver has always been known for producing high-quality yet affordable coffee products. The biggest feature of this cold drip coffee maker is the addition of an adjustable flow design typically found only in large coffee makers. You can adjust the flow according to your preferences and experiment with the flavor changes created by different extraction concentrations.

Hario MSCS-2TB Hand Grinder

Grinding beans yourself or asking someone to grind them for you has always been a headache for coffee novices. An entry-level small Feima electric grinder costs at least three "kids" (thousand dollar bills) from retailers, which deters many beginners or coffee novices who just want to drink freshly ground coffee. Although hand grinders are a bit tiring to use, for small batch grinding, the grinding quality is still quite good.

JUNIOR Blake Pour-over Kettle 0.45L

There don't seem to be many good pour-over kettle choices under 300 yuan. This is one of the better pour-over kettles I've used. It's suitable for small water stream brewing, and the lid can be fitted with a thermometer to measure water temperature. The craftsmanship is also decent, and it feels comfortable in the hand. For beginners, it's a very easy-to-control pour-over kettle.

Hario TCA-3 Siphon

Although siphons have become less popular in recent years, the flavor brewed by siphons and the visual spectacle during brewing (especially with attractive baristas) remain timeless. The TCA-3 is a siphon that's suitable for beginners, experienced enthusiasts, and even commercial use - it's easy to use and master. I believe many people, like myself, started their siphon journey with the TCA-3.

Walter Tamper

This domestic tamper is considered good among the tampers I've used. It has sufficient pressure, solid materials, and decent feel - you can achieve good tamping results without applying extra force. Although it can't compare to foreign premium tampers or those with special features, in terms of practicality and price, this is a very value-for-money tamper. Plus, it comes in many styles to choose from, such as European curve, American curve, ripple, and flat.

Noda Enamel Moon Rabbit Mark 1.2L Pour-over Kettle

If you have a group of hipster friends around you, bringing out this pour-over kettle should charm everyone. Regardless of heat retention and water stream stability, the texture and color alone are attractive enough. Actually, the Moon Rabbit Mark feels good and the coating has great texture. It can handle general daily brewing. Its disadvantages might be that the lid falls off easily and the paint chips when knocked.

WACACO Minipresso

Although the Minipresso's results don't match fully automatic coffee machines, as long as you adjust the water temperature and coffee grind size properly, it can still produce thick crema. Moreover, it's extremely simple to operate - after using it once, you can basically recycle the manual. Besides making coffee, it can also serve as a small pleasure to enjoy in the office breakroom before work every day.

Bialetti Classic Hexagonal Moka Pot 3-Cup

Perhaps moka pots are a bit troublesome to use, and the flavor isn't as layered as pour-over or as rich and thick as espresso. But when moka pots brew medium-dark roast coffee with milk, that traditional Italian-style coffee is truly unforgettable. No wonder even with cafes on every street, every Italian household still keeps a moka pot. Even if not used, it serves as a distinctive kitchen decoration.

Finally, of course, we can't forget the specialty estate coffee beans from FrontStreet Coffee!!!

Regardless of whether these gadgets are good to use or offer good value for money. During holidays and festivals, happiness is what matters!
