Coffee lovers unite! For so many people coffee is not a drink—it's a hobby, a passion, a love. From great designer coffee mugs, to high-end machines and Scandinavian-style graphic art inspired by coffee—we're here to tell you about everything a coffee lover should have in their home.

As coffee is most definitely a science, having the right tools and technology is of the utmost importance—and guess what—we have that covered too! Read on to find out more…

A place to chill and enjoy a cup!!

This one is easy—find a great place to chill and enjoy a cup of coffee alone, or with friends and guests.  The best part about coffee from a high-quality machine is that, no matter who is around, you can savor the rich and luxurious taste.

A good machine

Any true coffee lover can tell you that coffee making is an art form. Whether you prefer a hot shot of espresso or a slow-drip cold brew—you need to learn the science in order to choose the right machine.  Talk to your favourite local coffee shop and they should be more than willing to help you choose the right option.

Travel flasks

Cost-effective, efficient and functional, coffee travel mugs are brilliant and save you money! They have come a long way since the early days and can now be both well-designed and functional, keeping your coffee hot (or cold) for hours!

An espresso stove pot

The old ways can be the best ways.  Simply add water to the bottom, lightly press espresso in the espresso compartment, screw everything together and put it on the stove. You can find great antique espresso stove-top pots at antique and flea markets that work like a charm!

Coffee-themed pictures

Avoid anything cheesy and over-bearing! This graphic print is a fabulous way to let everyone know your deep and affectionate love for coffee. Look for neat graphic prints and typographical works for a cool and modern look.

If you're looking for more large-scale coffee art, look no further than this coffee-inspired wall decal!

A mini coffee-making station

A lot of coffee lovers will accumulate a lot of machines, tools and accessories. It's best to eventually dedicate yourself and make the move to create a mini coffee-making corner to keep everything organised and beautiful.

Cute coasters

Coasters are always a great functional item to include for both yourself and guests.  Coasters can be fun and humorous or sleek and minimalist, like the wonderful leather set pictured here.

Caffeine and coffee themed accessories

Sometimes allowing our hobbies to infiltrate every inch of our home design can be a bit tacky—but we can show you how to do it tastefully. Why not get super creative and find a designer to turn simple teacup and coffee sets into super cool light fixtures?

Great mugs

Mugs are one of the best parts about drinking coffee and decorating a kitchen. Whether you choose them from local artisans and designers or hand make them yourself at a local pottery boutique—they're such a fun accessory. Don't skimp on cheap or ugly mugs!

Sweet treats in jars

Just like how you would pair wine with cheese, keep sweets and other finger foods around and accessible in your coffee area.  Honey, crackers, biscotti biscuits and condiments are always great to have handy, especially when guests arrive.

Whether you're a coffee newbie or a seasoned veteran—coffee is truly an ancient luxury of life compared to the likes of wine or cheese. If you treat it like a hobby more than a simple drink then it can truly be a fun and adventurous part of life.
