For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.

    What hand grinder do you have? I’m looking for a decent one, hopefully simple and sturdy like my grandma had and used for decades.

      It’s the Hario Skeleton Pro. Not exactly grandma-tier – it’s got plastic parts on it, including the little dial for setting how coarse/fine – but gets the job done. Hario also makes some wood/ceramic/steel ones that would probably be more durable (and definitely have that grandma’s kitchen look).

        Thanks! I’ll look into that. I did find a similar one to hers, made in Germany (and crazy expensive). Hers was an oval wooden box that you held between your knees. Cast iron crank and feeder cone. It had a little wooden drawer that you pulled out to get the coffee grounds. Magic!
