    I love my Ember mug. Perfect for anyone who enjoys their coffee while working or multitasking, where you aren't gulping down your hot coffee quickly. Can't tell you how many times I've worked on an email or two and come back to a tempid or cooled coffee that I was only half finished with. Sure it's a splurge at $100, but it definitely keeps you from having to encounter that sad feeling.

    I have a really cheap handheld milk frother. I don't use it to froth milk mind you. Rather, I found they were perfect for mixing small volumes of liquid quickly and easy to clean. The main thing I use it for is to stir up my hot chocolate in the mug as it gets things combined really well, really quickly. You just put the hot milk in first, then float the cocoa mix on top, and finally slide the frother in and let it run until the drink looks fully mixed. Though I will note, floating the mix on top is semi important as while you can use the frother to remove any mix stuck to the bottom. By having it floating on top, the whirlpool created by the frother will draw in the mix and then the frother's head will instantly disperse it into the milk.

    Fresh Coffee Beans, purchased from a local coffee roaster, roasted that week, and not more than 1 pound. Be sure they have a grinder!
    Fellow's Stagg EKG Electric Kettle for pour-overs
    Acaia scales; Lunar for espresso, Pearl for pour-overs
    Also, I have had much luck with the less expensive 3D printed WDT tools available online. I have no affiliation to the above companies nor receive any gratuities or commissions. Thanks again and Happy Holidays to all!
