A good cup of coffee starts with the right beans, but from there you also need the right tools to get the best possible result. Sure, we have our favorite coffeemakers, but we want to build a solid list of the best coffee-making gear you could have at home. Let's get started.
There are plenty of ways to brew a great cup of coffee at home, even if you don't consider yourself a coffee snob. You could use a drip brewer, use a press of some kind (and we'll get to some of our favorites), fire up your home espresso maker, or use some other kind of high-tech contraption to make your morning (or afternoon, or evening) cup. We'll get you started with some of our favorites, but we really want this to be a definitive list of great tools to brew great coffee, so let's hear yours too! Here's how to submit your gear suggestion:
