We test hundreds of products each year, and naturally, as self-proclaimed coffee lovers writing for fellow coffee lovers, many of the products we've fallen in love with have to do with making a delicious morning brew.
Now we've finally decided to share what our Underscored editors use every morning (and sometimes later in the day too, we admit) to make their precious coffee.
Take a look at our favorite coffee makers, kettles and more.

Our favorite products to prepare coffee
Dualit Kettle (
USD$126 or
MX$3,162)
A good electric kettle is key to a great cup of coffee.
If nothing else, it means you get that coffee sooner.
This Dualit kettle boils water the fastest of any I've tried, usually from under a minute to 90 seconds.

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle (
USD$115 or
MX$6,153)
I recently got into pour over coffee brewing and am obsessed with this electric kettle from Fellow.
You can heat the water to the temperature you want and the gooseneck is perfect for precise pouring.
I have the green color (which is unfortunately out of stock at the moment) and it has made my kitchen counter look better than ever.

Our favorite coffee makers
Bodum Chambord french press coffee maker
USD$52.68 or
MX$819)
I love this french press.
It has a simple design and is easy to use and clean after use.
The highlight is the steel plunger, which features a mesh filter that prevents any and all coffee grounds from passing through.
It comes in six different colors, perfect for any kitchen.

French press coffee maker for 350 ml or one cup (
$12.99 USD or
MX$260)
I really like using this little French press to make my coffee in the mornings without anything left in it to get cold.
The filter is very practical and everything is very easy to wash.

How to make the perfect cup of pour over coffee, according to the experts
Keurig K-mini coffee maker
Keurig K-Mini coffee maker (
USD$109 or
MX$2,249)
I love the K-Mini Single Serve Coffee Maker because I don't drink a ton of coffee (I'm more of a tea person!) and it's enough to get me going in the morning.
I also love that it doesn't take up as much counter space, it's easy to clean, and it's affordable.

Mr. Coffee Iced Coffee Maker (
$34.99 USD or
MX$1,021)
This coffee maker is very affordable and makes really fast and tasty coffee.
You can put in any ground coffee you like and it makes a full cup of iced coffee.
It also comes with a reusable cup, measure, and reusable filter, so all you need to buy is the coffee itself.

New Mexico Piñon Coffee (

MX$1,389)
I love the Piñon coffee nut from New Mexico.
It has a natural flavor similar to a festive and Christmas mix that is especially delicious during the winter.

Our favorite coffee accessories
Lyseen Clear Glass Coffee Mug (
$17.99 USD or
MX$1,568)
I bought two of these mugs on Black Friday when they were a bit off, but I would buy them again at the current price because of how much I love them!
The clear ribbed glass is so pretty, they are super durable and easy to wash and I love that the lid helps keep my coffee hot longer.
I also tend to spill my drinks more than I'd like to admit, so it's handy to have a lid on my coffee every day while I'm working from home, without fear of spilling it near my computer!

Competition Tamper (
USD$46.20 or
MX$792) and Coffee Espresso Leveling Tool (
$53.95 USD or
MX$1,348)
Inspired by Jason Perlow's masterful espresso machine review, I decided to upgrade my home espresso maker accessories by investing in a leveling tool and tamper.
I bought two reasonably priced items from Italian producer Metallurgica Motta: the Competition Tamper and the 8350/585 Barista Coffee Espresso Leveling Tool, and have been given better flavor shots —

Bosmarlin coffee mug (
$17.99 or two for
MX$1,725)
I don't love the tiny coffee cups.
I need a mug that holds
at least
20 ounces, so this ceramic mug is my go to.
