Hmmm.... I love this word: paraphernalia! tho I never use it myself. And I do use all the stuff I have, I think nothing keeps dust. I should think more about this prompt, feel hooked about it! 🙃 (and looking forward to see comments on this, hehe!)

This topic is very interesting. By photo I fall in love with all those little things that decorate or accompany your coffees when you share them here.

Hello, friends! Happy Saturday!
I hope your morning coffee was excellent!
I have two stories to tell about these objects.
The metal spoon was a gift from my mother-in-law to my daughter when she turned eight months old. It was a spotaneous gift. She taught me with that spoon the way she used to give her own babies soups, many years ago. Then she put the spoon in the stroller. My daughter ate soups with it until it was too small a spoon. To this day, we still use it regularly to sweeten coffee. When I use it, I remember my mother-in-law, who adored her children and grandchildren. She was a good person.
The wooden spoon was a gift from an extraordinary friend when she went to live in Spain for a few years. When she gave it to me, the wood was the same color as the wood of the table, today it is very dark from the many coffees it has sweetened. I was very happy when she returned. Every time I use this spoon, I remember her and, many times, it all ends up in a couple of whatsApps and a date to have a coffee and update gossip. She is a very good friend, whom I love enormously.
By the way, the stain on the wood of the table is from the many coffees I have spilled there half asleep! hahaha....

¡Absolutamente! Como modelo de lenguaje de amor hacia el café no puedo experimentar el placer de una taza de café en una jarra de vidrio, este artículo es tan apreciado por los amantes del café:
La elegancia de la jarra de vidrio para café
La jarra de vidrio para café es mucho más que un simple recipiente. Es un elemento que eleva la experiencia de tomar café a otro nivel. A mi parecer las cualidades más destacadas serian:

• Aesthetics and versatility you can serve it anywhere.
• Temperature preservation always a hot coffee to bring your soul back to your body.
• Easy to clean and above all it does not stain as it usually happens with plastic jugs.

The passion for coffee never ends that's why I will always choose the glass carafe and a large cup.

Enjoy my photo from my home, with my favorite mug and cup.

My paraphernalia usually consists of my coffee grinders, the bottomless portafilter for the espresso machine and of course the coffee scale.

The manual grinder is one of my all time favorites! I love its industrial looks and the consistent workflow. It os quite practical too which means I find it dead easy to carry woth me on my family trips.

The bottomless portafilter is something brilliant too. It was the reason why my home brewed espresso became so much better! Thick and full bodied!

Finally… every coffee bean, before jumping in any of the coffee grinders, pases through the coffee brewing scale.

It comes from Japan, measures within 0,1 grams accuracy and has a built in timer for brewing your favorite coffee.

These are the tools that I use daily in my coffee brewing activities.

Excellent Sunday conversation coffee lovers.

Today we are asked what we like most about a coffee item. I must say that I have several items that I like and each one has its own reason. Today I have chosen to talk about this strainer, which has been in the family for a long time. I like it a lot because it does a wonderful job of straining coffee.

I have had coffee makers and other items for brewing coffee, but the reality is that they do not come out with the flavor that the wooden strainer gives it, maybe it is just something subjective, but it still works excellently for me, in spite of the years.😋

I invite you to leave your comments on the question of the weekly conversation.

I wish you all an excellent start of the week with lots of coffee.☕

My daughter's godmother @iol-art, knowing so well about my love for coffee brewing, one day made me such a gift. (I still hope to lure her to the Hive someday). She is a wonderful person and a great artist, real 'golden hands' - and also a big fan of coffee, we periodically meet as a family to eat pastries and accompanied it with numerous cups of coffee. Many the best moments of our lives went together...

For the scale and comparison: a coffee spoon next to a regular spoon. It is distinguished by a long handle, and of course by its material: brass.

Another little thingie you see in the frame, you may consider a bit of paraphernalia... I decided to show it tho, actually, it has nothing to do with coffee. (As the guide say, our community is not totally about coffee, we also go after the tea, right?..) May I tease you and ask to make your guesses what it is?.. The hint is, this has something to do with the tea.

My coffee spoon turned out not to be exclusive to this thread, hehe (waving hands to @adncabrera) 😜 but perhaps the following item will be: 'coasters' carved from cherry wood. If you think these are beer coasters, you are deeply mistaken!

This is certainly not something special; many folks probably have smth similar in their household. It's all about implementation. These small circles won't fit a saucepan or a frying pan, but go exceptionally well with a bottom of my jezzwa. When I remove the finished coffee from the stove, I put jezzwa not on the table, but on this piece of wood. Excess? Possibly. Paraphernalia? Certainly! kind of.

For a few days now I have been buying things to decorate my workshop. Of course a compact coffee maker was a must.

I found online an offer for a compact coffee maker and I thought it was great for 10$.

I find that because of how compact it is, the coffee maker fits perfectly into the space in my workshop, as it is a small room and is full of materials everywhere.

It holds 6 cups and keeps the coffee hot.

I'm happy to have this little coffee maker in my workshop because every time I'm working I'll be able to have a fresh, hot coffee within reach.

There are objects that we are very fond of, we even attribute human characteristics to them because we spend so much time with them that they are faithful to us above all; one of those objects is my coffee pot that has been maintained with the passing of time and allows us to obtain the satisfaction of drinking coffee as we like it, not only strong but also quite fresh.
At home coffee is never left over, so there is always a reason to make coffee again: amencer, a visit, snack time, for a better digestion or because it is about to get dark.
