This filter cone and these paper filters are highly rated and under 10 dollars. For a more environmentally-friendly choice, try this reusable stainless steel filter .
Making cold brew is a great choice for those who enjoy iced coffee and have some spare time. This cold brew maker is reusable and only needs ground coffee. Additionally, these cold brew coffee bags are inexpensive and well-reviewed. Cold brew bags only need to be filled with ground coffee and can be placed in any suitable container, making them extremely versatile for coffee making.
For a one-tool way of making coffee, while it is a bit expensive, this AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker is a straightforward way of making coffee. It is similar to a French Press coffee maker but is much more compact and efficient. The AeroPress can also make cold brew and espresso coffee if a person desires diversity in their coffee choices.
Of course, coffee cannot be made without a suitable water source and extremely vital coffee beans. This $40 electric kettle is highly rated for hot water and safe for a college dorm room. While electric kettles can be a bit expensive, they are a useful investment for making coffee with no working kitchen. Regarding the coffee itself, this Verena Street Flavored Medium Roast and this Seattle’s Best House Blend are both well-reviewed and about $10. With ground coffee, making pour-over or cold brew coffee is simple.
Students are accustomed to going to places like Starbucks or other cafés to get a good cup of their much-needed coffee, which can get quite expensive on a day-to-day basis. The choice to make coffee on your own terms can save both time and money.
