The kit we use ourselves
Nothing on this page is here to fill the shelf. It's the brewers, tools and cleaners we run in the café ourselves — and the spares you'll want in six months when something perishes.

Aeropress
If you're buying one brewer, buy this one. It's forgiving, it travels, it cleans in ten seconds, and it makes a better cup than most machines at ten times the price. Simple to use and hard to get wrong.

A dirty machine ruins good coffee
Old oils turn rancid and every cup after that tastes of them. Back-flush weekly, clean the grinder monthly, descale every three to six months. It is the cheapest upgrade available to you.
