Since investing in a coffee press, I've been taking my morning brew pretty seriously. Starting off the day with a great cup of coffee is absolutely worth the extra effort. Here's a collection of my favorite coffee accessory finds from around the Web. Why not make an everyday ritual a little more special with some pretty tools? — Kathryne from Cookie and Kate

Bodum Chambord 8-cup French Press Coffee Maker - $53.50

I brew my coffee in a Chemex every morning and find that it makes the smoothest and tastiest cup of coffee — and so easy to use. Plus, iced coffee is a breeze. Great grouping of products.
