KONO 90th Anniversary Dripper (1-2 servings)

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

Tiamo Conical Filter-Free Personal Cup

This dripper from Tiamo, the king of domestic coffee accessories, can be described as simple yet practical. Basically, as long as you know how to add coffee grounds and pour water, you can brew a cup of coffee with some quality character. Moreover, it's filter-free, making it both eco-friendly and practical.

Hario V60 Glass Dripper + Taiwan Glass Server

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

Emalia Olkusz Enamel Cup

Ceramic mugs, especially Starbucks ones, must be quite boring to give as gifts by now, right? Nowadays, the hipsters in the coffee world have switched to using enamel cups. Not only do they come in diverse colors with a great sense of design, but they also carry a retro 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 steel pitchers, BG basically wins outright. Besides the 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 handle. It can be called the Taiwanese boutique of 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 rate design typically found only in large coffee brewers. You can adjust the flow rate according to preference and experiment with the flavor variations created by different extraction concentrations.

Hario MSCS-2TB Manual Coffee Grinder

Grinding beans yourself or asking someone to grind them for you has always been a headache for coffee novices. Entry-level electric grinders like the Little Flying Horse cost at least a few thousand dollars, discouraging many beginners or coffee novices who just want to drink freshly ground coffee. Although manual grinders are a bit tiring to use, the grinding quality is still quite good for small quantities.

JUNIOR Blake Pour-Over Kettle 0.45L

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

Hario TCA-3 Siphon Coffee Maker

Although siphon coffee makers have become less popular in recent years, the flavor profile they produce, and the brewing scene (with attractive baristas), remain timeless. The TCA-3 is a siphon brewer that's suitable for beginners, experienced enthusiasts, and even commercial use. I believe many people, like myself, started their coffee journey with the TCA-3.

Walter Tamper

This domestic tamper is considered one of the better ones I've used. It has sufficient pressure, solid materials, and a good feel. You don't need to apply extra force to achieve good tamping results. Although it can't compare to foreign famous brands or tampers with special functions, in terms of practicality and price, this is a very value-for-money tamper. Moreover, it comes in many styles to choose from, such as European curve, American curve, ribbed, 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. Setting aside thermal 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 tasks. Its disadvantages might be that the lid easily falls off and it's prone to chipping when knocked.

WACACO Minipresso

Although the Minipresso's results don't match those of a fully automatic coffee machine, as long as you adjust the water temperature and coffee grind size properly, it can still produce a thick crema. Moreover, the operation is quite simple - once you've used 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 each day.

Bialetti Classic Hexagonal Moka Pot 3-Cup

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

FrontStreet Coffee's Premium Estate Coffee Beans

And of course, we can't forget FrontStreet Coffee's premium estate coffee beans!!!

Regardless of whether these gadgets are useful or offer good value for money, it's the holidays after all. As long as you're happy, that's what matters!
