8) Check out this sexy stainless steel French Press system from Freud. I think we fell for it due to its resemblance of a US fire hydrant, although apparently it’s inspired by the old-time coffee-house culture of Central Europe. ⇒ BUY ONLINE: From £68, freud.eu

Love! ? ⇒ BUY ONLINE: From £5 hasbean.co.uk

12) We only recently discovered on our hunt for online coffee that the lovely Notes coffee shop sells great coffee on the web. One of the best we’ve tried, we highly recommended the Nyamasheke PB – 100% peaberry has notes of cranberry and yellow plums. Expensive though, best saved for weekends. ⇒ BUY ONLINE: From £9.20 notes-uk.co.uk
