Looking to improve your home coffee setup but not quite sure where to start? This post is for you.

Finding the best drip coffee maker or the burr coffee grinder with the most "bang for your buck", can be a pretty overwhelming task. There are so many options and tons of coffee "experts" ready to give you an opinion on this subject. In this post I am going to try and keep things simple(and helpful) by providing you with some coffee resources that I trust and a list of the brewing equipment that I use at home. Let's get to it!

Coffee Resources

With the myriad of websites,ads, and opinions out there it can be hard to know where to look for good coffee product research. Below are some companies I have grown to trust over the years:

• *To See Whose Certified: The Specialty Coffee Association has a list of "SCA Certified Home Brewers" that meet their guidlines that include "proper water temperature, brewing time, and ability to brew within the SCA Golden Cup recommendations."
• To See Coffee Products In Action: Seattle Coffee Gear has tons of Brewer comparision videos that breakdown what is good (and not so) about all kinds of coffee products. I have reffered to their site for years.
• For a Barista Level Education: Barista Hustle takes a deep dive into coffee science in their classes but also have a free blog with great coffee info. They also have and has a few great producst work checking out.

My Home Coffee Set-up:
