4. A Coffee Bible

Does it get much better than that?
7. Travel Coffee Grinder
Having a great coffee bean grinder in your kitchen has become essential for people who love coffee but what about on the go?
Does your office only have instant coffee or cheap grounds? Would you love to make coffee with freshly ground beans on your camping trip? Yeah, of course, you would, who wouldn’t?
There are lots of travel coffee grinders available nowadays so you’d better get yourself one quick. You can choose between hand-operated grinders and electric grinders that work at the touch of a button.
No more stale coffee grounds, we’re talking fresh all the way.
8. Vacuum Containers
Speaking of fresh coffee though, grinding beans every single time you want a brew can be a pain. This is especially true if you need caffeinated and decaf coffee. When you have ground coffee you won’t be using straight away, you’ll need to store it well.
The moment beans are ground, the coffee starts losing its flavor. Even worse, it begins absorbing the flavors of things around it. You’ll know what we mean if you’ve ever put ground coffee in the fridge near an onion.
Grim.
To make sure your ground coffee stays as fresh as possible, you’ll need a couple of vacuum containers. The storage pots create a vacuum seal to prevent outside air getting to the coffee and spoiling its delicious aroma.
Always have at least two of these, one for caffeinated grounds and one for decaf. Don’t forget to label them either!
