Amazon Shopper-Loved Coffee Gear Under $20

Once you’ve outfitted your kitchen with a brand new coffee maker, you still need to shop around for all the essential coffee gear. Some things, like mugs or coffee filters, can be total necessities. But other tools, like a milk frother, are just fun added extras. Some gear is only necessary for a specific brewing method — an espresso machine, for example, might need a coffee scale, while your standard drip coffee maker probably won’t. 

Truly devoted coffee lovers may also want to supplement their standard brewing method. Your pod coffee maker is great for those mornings when you’re rushing out the door, but why not treat yourself to a luxurious pour-over or French Press on a lazy weekend morning?

Yeti Rambler 8-Ounce Stackable Cup

We love Yeti products, and the Rambler tumbler is one of our favorites. This compact 8-ounce version of our favorite tumbler is perfect for short espresso drinks on the go.

Mueller Cold Brew Coffee Maker

Our favorite cold brew coffee maker is also a shopper favorite, with 70% of Amazon buyers giving it five stars. It got top marks in our testing because it was incredibly easy to use and made a high volume of coffee, all for under twenty bucks.

Hario V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper

We tested (and loved) the Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper during our pour-over tests, and our main complaint was that the ceramic was prone to breaking. This plastic version is more durable and a great deal at just $11. With almost 90% of its over 3,500 reviews being five stars, it’s safe to say Amazon shoppers love it too. One shopper called this version the ‘best option’ for daily brewing because it’s “easy to handle and preheat but also retains heat exceptionally well.”

PowerLix Powerful Handheld Milk Frother

Adding a milk frother to your coffee setup is an instant upgrade, giving you the option for barista-quality lattes at home. And while some frothers that cost $100 and up deliver great results, this $10 handheld frother gave us excellent foam during testing (even with non-dairy milk) at a fraction of the cost.

OXO Brew Pour-Over Coffee Maker

Getting a pour-over just right can be tricky. Thankfully, this OXO brewer has handy measurement markings on the side so you can ace the water-to-grinds ratio every time and skip the fussy pouring. Over 2,000 Amazon shoppers left 5-star reviews, many highlighting how easy it is to use compared to the standard pour-over method. One shopper said, “the issue with pour-overs is getting a consistent pour of the water over the grounds. This takes the guesswork and tedium out of pouring the water over the grounds.”

Bodum Brazil French Press 

When we tested French presses, this Bodum model immediately stood out as a great deal, given its $20 price tag and the double-mesh filter that delivered a silky, smooth brew. If you’re looking for a manual coffee maker to slow down and really enjoy the brewing process, this French press is a must.

Primula Classic Stovetop Moka Pot

Moka pots are a classic manual coffee brewing method that yields a delicious, concentrated, and bold brew, but the pots can be expensive. For a more budget-friendly option, we recommend this Primula model. It brews high-quality coffee for under $20, and Amazon shoppers love it, too — 75% of its whopping 32,000 reviews are five stars.

Weightman Espresso Scale

A coffee scale is important for dosing out the precise amount of grounds, and at under $15, this shopper-loved coffee scale is a great deal for a vital piece of coffee gear. One shopper raved about the precision, saying it “measures in 0.1g increments, which is essential for dialing in espresso shots.” Others appreciated the built-in timer, perfect for pour-overs, and the editor-loved Aeropress.

Coffee Gator Coffee Canister

Did you know that the flavor and aroma of your coffee begin to degrade the second you open the bag? A coffee canister like this one from Coffee Gator seals airtight and protects your beans from outside oxygen while also venting the carbon dioxide the beans produce as they sit — the two main culprits in flavor degradation.

Amazon Basics Electric Coffee Grinder

Grinding whole-bean coffee as you use it gives you a more robust flavor than buying the pre-ground stuff. And if you’re already shelling out for premium beans, you’ll want a reliable coffee grinder that isn’t too costly. This Amazon Basics grinder more than fits the bill; one shopper called it “high-quality, powerful, lightweight”, plus it “does a great job at finely grinding up some fresh coffee beans.” The best part? It’s under $20.
