Farmhouse Pottery Brass and Marble Pour Over Stand

One of the best things about fall weather is sitting outside and enjoying the crisp, cool air whilst bundled up. It’s always enjoyable to bring your favorite coffee or tea outside with you—something about relaxing outdoors with a warm drink brings the soul some peace and happiness. Let’s elevate your coffee and tea drinking this fall with a few beautiful and unique mugs, kettles, and other hot beverage accessories.

First, let’s start with making your beverage of choice. If coffee is what fuels your day, Farmhouse Pottery masterfully takes pour-overs to the next level with their Brass and Marble Pour Over Stand. This product features a polished brass stand with a glass funnel to hold your coffee filter. The stand is mounted on a clean, white slab of marble to create a unique and beautiful statement piece for your kitchen. Another important feature that this functional pour-over boasts is the ability to adjust the stand to fit any sized mug. From a tall cup o’ joe on a heavy morning to a quick afternoon decaf, this pour-over stand is sure to become the highlight of your morning (and mid-day, and nighttime) rituals!

Are you more of a tea connoisseur or prefer the occasional herbal medley? Making tea can also be luxurious with the Zwilling Efinigy Cool Touch Kettle Pro, which boasts 6 pre-set program settings on its 360-degree docking base for the perfect cup of tea. The double-walled body of this kettle keeps water hot for much longer, while still remaining cool to the touch on the outside. Coming in a sleek black and fresh silvery-white, Zwilling has perfected the balance between functionality, beauty, and modernity with this appliance. Take a look to the right to see the kettle in action.

Eva Solo Vacuum Jug

Looking to bring your drinks outside with you? We’ve got you covered. Take a look at the Eva Solo Vacuum Jug, which will keep your drinks nice and warm even in the harshest weather. These jugs come in a set of wonderful colors to fit anyone’s style, and some even feature a glossy finish instead of the original matte texture. Not only is this jug an eye-catching, organic shape, but it also boasts a 100% drip-free stainless steel pouring lip to keep your day mess-free. Fill it with your favorite coffee, tea, or other hot beverage, pack some mix-ins like cream and sugar, and you’re on the move!

Finally, choosing the best mug to drink your coffee or tea from can be a challenge. There are so many choices—and rightfully so. On some mornings, you need a larger mug for optimal caffeination. Other mornings, the decision is more aesthetic—should you choose plain, colored, or even patterned? Hard decisions aside, we have a few personal favorites from top brands.

First, the handmade Burlington Mug in Pool by Simon Pearce is quite a sight to behold. Simon Pearce combines freehand pinch pot design and modern art in this mug, making something truly unique and natural. From the lip to the base of the cup, the attention to detail is absolutely incredible. This mug is truly representative of Simon Pearce’s dedication to premium and beautifully designed products.

Last, but certainly not least, it is impossible to not consider the Viviana Mug by Match Pewter. Handmade by artisans in northern Italy, this mug is perfect for any occasion.
