Uniform Coffee Grinder by Wilfa

Norwegian label Wilfa’s Uniform Coffee Grinder is a hefty piece of award-winning tech, developed in collaboration with Norwegian world coffee champion Tim Wendelboe. It features 58-millimetre wide and flat grinding heads in stainless steel that ensure an even particle size for a fuller and sweeter mouthfeel, and 41 tuning settings to adjust the grind for espresso, Aeropress, pour over, filter coffee, press pot and other brewing methods. It stops grinding automatically after the last bean, which will be a relief to all whose grinders continue screeching until turned off, and it comes with an app that features a grind guide by Wendleboe himself.

Pour Over by BODUM

Our morning coffee signifies a gear-change from waking up to ‘let’s go’. Usually, making coffee is somewhat passive: the filter machine brews it for us, we fill the French press and wait, or we order takeaway from a local café. Making a carafe of coffee in BODUM’s Pour Over is a more meditative way to start the day: four minutes of careful hand-pouring and observation, and the reward is fuller-bodied, more flavourful coffee. This Danish-design pour over is made from premium-quality borosilicate glass, and features a permanent filter in stainless steel, which eliminates the need for essential oil and aroma-stripping paper filters.

Flow Mug by Ferm Living

The silhouette of the Flow Mug from Danish Ferm Living is charmingly imperfect. Crafted with traditional porcelain techniques, it’s defined by its elongated handle, which recalls the form of mid-century Scandinavian water pitchers, its irregular surface and a semi-matte glaze. Available in yellow or off-white speckle and black, this generously-sized cup is perfect for the first coffee of the day.
