Resources
Gear, brands, and tools I personally use and recommend. No fluff — only things worth your money.
Equipment
Brewing Gear
The tools that make a real difference in your cup.
Grinder
A Good Burr Grinder
The single most impactful upgrade you can make. Blade grinders destroy your coffee — a burr grinder unlocks everything else.
Brewing
Jebena (Ethiopian Coffee Pot)
The traditional clay pot used in the Ethiopian coffee ceremony. If you want to experience coffee the way it was meant to be, start here.
Brewing
Pour Over Kettle
A gooseneck kettle gives you control over your pour. Control over your pour means control over your cup.
Measuring
Coffee Scale
Guessing your coffee ratio is why your cup tastes inconsistent. A scale is cheap and fixes that problem immediately.
Brands
Coffee Brands Worth Knowing
Ethiopian and specialty coffee brands that are doing things right.
Ethiopian Origin
Single-Origin Ethiopian Roasters
Look for roasters who source directly from Ethiopian farmers and clearly label their region — Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji, Harrar.
Spices & Coffee
Brundo Spice Company
Ethiopian spices that pair beautifully with coffee. Their Berbere in a latte is something you need to try once in your life.
