A High-Quality Grind, One Brew at a Time: The Fellow Ode Brew Grinder

    Note: A Version 2 of the Ode grinder is now available. Home kitchen appliances don't usually enter the market wafting on hype. Yet, when it comes to an ambitious new product from the young and media-savvy California-based coffee equipment manufacturer Fellow, we've come to expect nothing less. The hype has been especially intense in the run-up to the debut of the Ode Brew

Equipment Review: Baratza Virtuoso+ Coffee Grinder

Overall Rating: 8.5 Pros: A smart design, simple operation and excellent serviceability make this machine both a reassuring long-term investment and a pleasure to use. Cons: Beans tend to popcorn around as the hopper empties, and its once class-leading grind consistency has been overtaken by competitors.

Breville Smart Grinder Pro

Equipment Review: Breville Smart Grinder Pro

Overall Rating: 9.0 Pros: The Smart Grinder Pro's grind consistency is best among the four grinders we review for this report. It is also relatively quiet, and its capacity for supporting espresso brewing is particularly impressive for a machine offered at so reasonable a price. Cons: The stubbornly convoluted user interface takes either patience or a workaround to overcome. MSRP:

Equipment Review: Oxo Brew Conical Burr Grinder With Integrated Scale

Overall Rating: 8.5 Pros: The Oxo offers admirable grind consistency and conveniently controls how much coffee is ground by weight rather than by time. Cons: The weight of the actual dose always slightly misses the target. The unit’s high-pitched noise is on the louder side and its lightweight materials raise longevity concerns.

Equipment Review | Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle

Overall Rating: 9.5 Pros: Not only does this kettle look impressive and pour very comfortably, but its display is the most informative of any that we've seen, and it heats up quite quickly. Its interface is refreshingly intuitive and its build quality first-rate, down to the tiniest of details. Cons: The temperature reported on its display may be anywhere from 1-3 degrees higher than the

Oxo Kettle

Equipment Review | OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Pour Over Kettle

Overall Rating: 8.0 Pros: This kettle strikes an impressive balance between a generous capacity and a compact footprint while also reaching brewing temperature remarkably quickly. Its display is clear and easy to read without having to slide the whole unit closer on the counter, and its beep is a handy cue for when water has reached the target temperature. Its large and satisfyingly resistant

Equipment Review | Bonavita Interurban, Matte Black, 1.0L Variable Temperature Kettle

Overall Rating: 7.5 Pros: The Interurban is a successor to Bonavita’s pioneering, long-popular BV382510V kettle. The solid build of the Interurban inspires confidence, and its streamlined appearance cuts a bold yet charming profile on the kitchen counter. Cons: The built-in timer presents usability issues, the spout is not "drip-free," and the kettle brings water to brewing temperature

Yabano Gooseneck Kettle

Equipment Review | Yabano Gooseneck Pour Over Digital Variable Temperature Control Kettle

Overall Rating: 6.5 Pros: The price is unbeatable, the temperature display is spot-on, and if you don't already own a pourover brewing device, this kettle comes with one. Cons: The Yabano is bulky, difficult to settle on its flimsy base, and allows wide fluctuation around a target temperature. Its interface is simple in appearance, but confusing to use. Price: $42.99 How to Interpret
