How to choose coffee equipment

Even if you want to enjoy coffee at home, you don't know what equipment to choose. For such people, Mr. Funato chose the recommended coffee equipment for beginners.

The recommend lineup is from HARIO, a heat-resistant glass manufacturer established in 1921 and the only one with a factory in Japan. It is popular for its relatively affordable prices and authentic taste.

Coffee paper filter "HARIO Paper Filter 01" that can be used with HARIO's conical dripper (340 yen + tax / 100 pieces)

“HARIOV60 Dripper 01 White” (1,600 yen + tax) continues to be loved by coffee lovers around the world. It is a cone-shaped dripper with a single large hole, so you can change the taste of the coffee depending on the speed at which you pour hot water.

In addition, it is a magnetic type that has a high heat retention effect, and is unique in that it is handmade one by one by craftsmen. With just one, you can consistently brew delicious coffee.

The "HARIO V60 Range Server 01" (2,000 yen + tax) is popular for its simple design made entirely of heat-resistant glass. It is a convenient server because it can be used in a microwave oven and a dishwasher.

A pot that is also a necessity for brewing coffee.

The very popular Tsukiusagijirushi "Slim Pot Tsukiusagijirushi" (3,800 yen + tax) is characterized by the shape of the drip spout. Handcrafted by craftsmen using traditional methods. One of the reasons for its popularity is the wide variety of colors available.

This “HARIOV60 drip scale” (6,000 yen + tax) is surprisingly convenient.

In order to make delicious coffee, it is essential to measure the extraction amount and extraction time! This scale can measure the steaming time and extraction time in hand drip with a timer, so you can always extract stable coffee.

For those who enjoy coffee even more
Recommended equipment

For those who, like me, enjoy coffee at home, even more recommended equipment has been introduced.

This is a professional product "ORIGAMI" born from the desire of a barista who continues to seek the best cup. As the name suggests, the ORIGAMI dripper S color (2,100 yen + tax) that looks like origami pursues functionality that brings out the original taste of beans. By creating a space between the dripper with 20 folds and the paper, hot water can flow smoothly and various extractions can be achieved.

This dripper is an excellent dripper that does not require dripping! Hot water is stored in the dripper, and coffee is extracted as it is when placed on top of a cup. It is surprisingly popular among beginners as well, since it is easy to enjoy delicious coffee.

Right/clever drepper (2,800 yen + tax/with 100 paper filters)

Mr. Funato's recommended kettle "bonavita kettle 1.0l" (18,800 yen + tax). Bonavita's electric kettle is loved by top baristas overseas. A highly functional kettle with a Japanese-style outlet.

For those who brew coffee every day wanting to enjoy the aroma and taste of the day, the "Cupping Bowl" (700 yen + tax) on the left is recommend.

Cupping is a tasting to evaluate the aroma and taste of coffee. With this alone, you can study and enjoy the taste of higher quality coffee. On the right is the "drip tray" (1,200 yen + tax). It is a convenient item that allows you to place a dripper that is difficult to store.

If you are particular about coffee equipment, I want you to be particular about the cup!

At this shop, there are rows of unique cups. You can choose from a variety of uses, such as the official cup of the World Latte Art Championship, a double-walled glass with no handle, and a large-capacity coffee cup.

In addition, there are plenty of small items such as a barista cloth set that can wipe the steam nozzle, a coffee measuring cup, a magnetic filter holder, and more! All are useful tools.
