How to Choose Coffeeware

What is "ware"? When preparing for your coffee tasting adventure, you'll need the right equipment. We call anything that you might use to store, prepare or serve coffee, tea, or drinking chocolate your ware. 

How do we find the best ware for your unique flavor adventure? We ask ourselves: Does it enhance the experience? Is it fast, foolproof, and durable? Does it help create mindfulness? Is it art? Form and function are what we look for in each category: 

Preparation: Temperature, timing, quantity, and the quality of the water are all factors in making a great cup. So is how much time you have to spend. Making methods include pressure brew, pour-over and ordinary drip. 

Serving: There are countless ways to serve coffee: with or without milk, hot or iced, with or without sweetener... The options are endless. 

Storage: Coffee should be stored away from air, light, and moisture. That's important for product freshness and is why we store and ship coffee in sealed, airtight packaging. We recommend you do the same at home.

With over 25 years of evaluating beverage ware, we carefully assess each item for form, function and value. Our ware ranges from quick-and-easy makers to a handmade mug that "hugs" your hand, creating an exceptional coffee experience. We will help you find the right ware for your daily cup or a special occasion.
