Tea and coffee accessories: 7 must-have items
A freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee has a unique ability to bring joy. With a cup of tea or coffee in our hand, we lower our shoulders, breathe more deeply, become aware of smells and temperatures and can simply enjoy being in the now. With the right cup, it will taste even better.
Find the right coffee accessory
A cup of coffee. For some it's a simple affair, while for others it's a science. Whether your heart beats for coffee or you just enjoy the occasional cup, you need the right equipment to make a good cup of coffee. What and how much coffee equipment you need is of course individual. But there are a few elements that you just can't live without, and we’ve included them on this page.
1. Coffee and tea
Coffee and tea are both beverages we drink for pleasure. They can give us energy and help to make us feel calm. Naturally, coffee beans and tea bags or tea leaves are the main ingredient for making a cup of coffee or tea. Coffee can be purchased ground, which is ideal if you make filter coffee. But if you’re planning to make an espresso or a jug of cafetiere coffee, you’ll need a little more preparation. With a cafetiere, you get the best result by grinding the coffee beans roughly, as finely ground beans will only make the coffee cloudy. With tea, it’s a similar story. You can buy a wealth of different kinds of tea bags in supermarkets, from camomile tea to green tea and classic English breakfast blends. But the discerning tea lover is sure to prefer tea leaves from a tea house, where you can choose delicious Oolong teas and green teas that come directly from the tea plantations in China. No matter how you prefer your tea and coffee, the beans and leaves are indispensable for brewing your favourite drink.
2. Cups & mugs
We love to gather over a cup of coffee or tea here in Denmark. This is how we enjoy ourselves, while feeling the tranquility that descends and enjoying the aroma of freshly brewed coffee as it spreads throughout the kitchen. Coffee comes with cups and mugs, and preferably more than one. Coffee cups and mugs come in many sizes and designs, and they can add a personal touch to your table setting. Our models come in many beautiful colours, both with and without handles, and they are characterised by their elegance and ability to complement the modern kitchen. We have classic porcelain cups that you can use when serving coffee and tea. But you’ll also find practical thermal cups and mugs that you can take with you on-the-go. This is an advantage if you want to take your hot drink with you.
If you prefer espresso, we also have espresso cups. You can find them both with and without handles. The same goes for saucers. It’s a matter of taste how you prefer to drink your espresso, which is why we’ve made sure to offer a selection, so you can choose freely and find your favourite on this page. Whether you’re into coffee or tea, it’s hard not to fall in love with the stylish and functional designs.
3. Latte glass and spoon
Mmm. A lovely latte topped with creamy milk froth. Is there anything better? For a latte lover, the answer is no, and fortunately it can be made relatively easily at home in the kitchen as long as you have a milk frother. If latte is your favourite cup of coffee, you won't want to be without a latte glass and a long latte spoon, even if you have a cupboard full of coffee cups. Fair's fair. Naturally, when you want a latte, you need a real latte glass. Browse our selection and find just the right one, and add a latte spoon now that you're here. The spoon is slightly longer than an ordinary teaspoons so you can reach the bottom of the glass more easily.
4. Vacuum jugs
If you love coffee or tea, you’re likely to drink more than one cup a day. In this case a vacuum jug is ideal, so you don't have to keep making a new cup over and over again. As reflected in our selection, our vacuum jugs are made in a simple and stylish design that fits into the modern home, and which you can use for many years without having to replace it. With a vacuum jug, it’s easy to serve hot drinks to your guests without having to make coffee or tea several times, so you can spend time with your guests instead. It also looks better with a vaccum jug from our range than if you serve the coffee straight out of the glass pitcher from the coffee machine or the boiled water in the kettle with a tea bag on the side. There are many good reasons to invest in a vacuum jug from Rosendahl.com. They come in many shapes – everything from the characteristic tall design to a curved piece.
5. Cafetieres
What makes a good cup of coffee? For some, it’s a strong espresso, while for others it's a creamy, smooth cafe latte. And then there are those who love coffee made with a cafetiere. And it’s also one of the brewing methods that gives you the most control over the finished result. Here, you can decide for yourself how much grinding you want, dosage, water temperature and drawing time, and thus have more influence on how your coffee will taste. If you love a deep, rich coffee taste, then a cafetiere might just be what you need. There's a big difference between cafetieres in design, expression and material, and as with most things in life, it's worth investing in quality.
Cafetieres from Rosendahl.com feature a smart and innovative design that makes both coffee preparation and serving easy. The design is classic and Nordic, and it suits all occasions, whether you want to use it in your everyday or when you have guests.
6. Teapots
Like coffee, tea is also a much-loved drink here in Denmark. But while coffee gives us energy and has an invigorating effect, tea invites peace and contemplation. Today, tea is considered a relaxing element in our busy daily lives. When you enjoy a nice cup of hot tea, you can gather your thoughts and relax completely. To make tea, you need accessories such as a teapot in which you can brew the magical leaves. We have a range of teapots on this page in an array of different designs, and here is where your personal taste comes in. Are you looking for a teapot that matches your tableware, or would you prefer a design that can go with all kinds of dinnerware? You can get pots in many colours, but for a safe bet, the classic white porcelain design is a clear winner.
Once you have selected the right teapot, you will get the best taste experience by using the optimal temperature for brewing, and this depends on the type of tea you drink. For most teas, the water temperature is around 65 to 80 degrees, while for others it is 80 to 100 degrees. You can adjust the steeping time to suit your own taste and preferences, but the typical time is 1-3 minutes. Some of our teapots come with a filter which you can simply fill with the loose tea and then pour boiling water over it. Once the tea has steeped enough, simply remove the filter.
At Rosendahl.com you’ll find tea equipment and teapots in timeless designs that add an elegant touch that never feels overpowering. You can find teapots in glazed and matte porcelain that will look magnificent on your cake table. Porcelain teapots have something nostalgic and calming about them that makes us relax. You can look forward to enjoying a cup of English breakfast or green tea in one of our pots.
7. Milk jug
Do you prefer a dash of milk in your coffee? You’re not alone. The milk jug may not be used as often as the vacuum jug or coffee cup, but it still plays an important role. Imagine that you’ve set the table with beautiful tableware and a bouquet of freshly cut flowers. The milk jug makes the finishing touch on the table and looks so much better than the milk carton straight from the fridge. This enhances the expression and shows that you have made an effort.
