Mom-Recommended Amazon Coffee Products, From $6

Ever since I can remember, my mom has begun her mornings by rolling out of bed and walking straight to her coffee maker like a zombie. She loves coffee more than anyone I know and is constantly trying out the latest, greatest coffee gadgets. So when I recently decided it was time to upgrade my caffeine routine, she was the first person I called for recommendations. 

My mom filled me in on the best coffee and espresso machines, tools, and accessories on the market right now, and prices start at only $6. Head to Amazon now to snag her top picks from Le Creuset, Jura, Ember, and more.

Jura E8 Automatic Espresso Machine

My mom was given the Jura E8 as a holiday gift, and she’s been raving about it ever since. While she loves the convenience of her trusty Nespresso machine, she’s partial to the Jura’s pre-programmed settings and customization options. With a built-in grinder and integrated frother, this high-end coffee machine is relatively easy to use, allowing my mom to make everything from flat whites to macchiatos. 

Ember Smart Mug 2

Despite her intense love for coffee, my mom drinks her morning cup shockingly slowly. Tired of microwaving her coffee mug, she recently bought an Ember smart mug, which keeps her coffee hot for up to 80 minutes on a single charge (or all day if you rest it on the charging coaster). The 14-ounce warming mug is the perfect size for a standard cup of coffee, and it’s on sale at Amazon right now.

Le Creuset Signature Cream & Sugar Set

Whenever my parents host friends at their house, my mom pulls out this coffee creamer duo. The set includes a sugar jar and a small pitcher for milk. They look great together on the kitchen countertop and make it easy for visitors to make a cup of coffee at their leisure. The durable stoneware pieces are designed to last a lifetime, and you can choose from several colors.

Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Maker

My mom created a coffee station especially for her guests, and she chose to stock it with this single-serve coffee maker due to its user-friendly design. At 14 x 8.6 x 10.4 inches, the sleek Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ is compact enough to fit in the guest room. The machine has a 25-ounce water tank that’s easy to remove and refill, and it’s compatible with five pod sizes, ranging from single espresso shots to 12-ounce cups of coffee.

Zulay Milk Frother

You don’t need to spend big on your milk frother, according to my mom. Her favorite handheld model froths dairy and plant milk in seconds, and it’s just $6 right now. As it turns out, she’s not alone in her love for the Zulay frother — it has over 38,300 perfect Amazon ratings. The tool comes in dozens of colors, so there’s one to match every kitchen. 

Huckleberry Roasters Blue Orchid Blend, 12-Ounce

My mom has sampled countless coffee beans over the years, and her current favorite comes from Denver-based Huckleberry Roasters. The Blue Orchid medium roast blend works well in coffee or espresso drinks, and with its creamy notes of chocolate and caramel, it’s a total crowd-pleaser.

Matchaccino Brown Sugar Sticks, 25-Pack

If you like a little sugar in your coffee, these brown sugar sticks are an easy way to add some whimsy to your morning routine. Each stick is equivalent to two standard sugar packets, so you can adjust the sweetness of your drink to your preference. My mom serves these sticks alongside cups of espresso at the end of dinner parties, and as of late, they’ve made it onto her guest room’s coffee station.
