[h=1]Cuissential SlickDrip[/h]

A quick pour-over is essential to any coffee connoisseur's weapon bag. This SlickDrip Pour Over collapses into a very portable unit. You can throw it in your purse, briefcase or backpack very easily. Pour-overs are not bad for making a good cup of coffee in a pinch. The problem with most is that they are an awkward shape. This one isn't. You can put it anywhere easily.

Kitchen Trolley

This would probably seem silly to most people, but when you host as many people in your home as we do, it's nice to free up the kitchen a little bit. We put all of our coffee and tea supplies, hot water pitchers, cream, coffee machine, and cold brew carafe on something like this. I couldn't find the exact one that we have but this one is very similar. It's nice to be able to have our hot drink station just outside of the kitchen so that traffic doesn't get so clogged.

Breville BES900XL Espresso Maker​

I don't know about you, but we love serving our guests great espresso drinks. We've had an older model consumer Starbucks Espresso machine for a while, but it wears out quickly when we need to make a lot of drinks. It really can't keep up. And sometimes the steamer just decides not to work. If I had the money, I would like to get my wife something like this. She's a great barista and she could do wonders with a good reliable machine. It's basically a commercial machine in a consumer package.
