The good news?

You don’t need a full barista training course or bulky espresso machine to transform your morning routine; it can be easily elevated with simple swaps and additional accessories.

From freshly roasted beans and clever grinders to milk frothers and stylish mugs, the right accessories can transform your daily cup into something that feels a little more café-worthy.

Whether you’re a flat white devotee, an espresso purist or simply love a cosy coffee ritual, these clever gadgets and stylish essentials will help you brew better coffee from the comfort of your kitchen.

Every coffee-lover needs a signature machine that will serve them up brilliant brews every time, and that’s exactly what the Philips Baristina does.

It’s slim enough to perfectly fit on the kitchen side, minimising the space it takes up, but it’s quick and easy to use.

It is available in either white or black, so depending on your interior design, you can find one that fits easily into your space.

Simply fill the top compartment up with your choice of coffee beans, and press the required button, either espresso or a lungo shot, and the machine does the rest.

Even to the point of grinding, tampering, and brewing the coffee by automatically moving the handle from one side to the other.
