For those on a budget, "espresso brewers" (in the $30 to $50 price range) typically lack motorized pumps and are powered by steam pressure alone. What they produce is really moka pot, the sort of coffee made by simple stovetop brewers; it won't taste quite like the espresso you're used to from the barista at your local coffee shop or cafe. That's not inherently bad -- it's just not really espresso.

id="cnetReview" section="rvwBody"> For $45, the Wi-Fi-equipped Brita Infinity pitcher promises to keep track of how much water is passing through the filter. Once the filter is about spent, it'll go ahead and automatically order a replacement from Amazon that'll arrive at your doorstep just when you need it.

Of course, you can also drop as little as $100, if you're willing to settle for a mediocre espresso, but I urge you not to pounce on products that cost less, especially if you plan on drinking espresso regularly. They may seem like a bargain at first blush, but they're often a waste of money and counter space, too. 

$43 at Amazon Gooseneck pour-over kettle
Amazon For pour-over coffee methods, you'll want a good gooseneck kettle. Heat up cold water in something like this kettle, and the narrow spout will give you the control you need to distribute hot water over your coffee grounds (or tea), first to help "bloom" the coffee grounds, and then to evenly "pour over" the rest of the water.

Ozeri digital scale
Amazon If you've got the pour over and the kettle, and you're committed to seeing this brew process through to the end, then take the red pill and get yourself a kitchen scale, too. This digital kitchen scale will help you achieve the ideal ratio of beans to hot water, so that you don't end up with a coffee that is too bitter or too weak.

$32 at Amazon S'well Roamer
Our large water bottle pick
S'well The insulated, stainless steel Roamer from S'well keeps 40 ounces of water cold and delicious even when it's hot out. Made from food-grade stainless steel, S'well bottles are perfect for long beach days and for those who just don't feel like refilling their bottle several times a day. 

Sonaki inline shower filter
For removing almost all contaminants
Sonaki This activated carbon filter is the most effective choice for your shower head, and since it's an inline model you won't need to buy a separate showerhead. The granular activated carbon removes chlorine, chloramine (another disinfectant sometimes used), heavy metals, rust, and any other byproducts, so you can shower knowing that you're safe. Plus, it'll soften your water so you can get softer hair than ever.

Klean Kanteen bottles are accredited by a chemical assessment procedure called GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals. Any ingredients that didn't meet Klean Kanteen's standards for contact with humans and the environment were eliminated.

Brita's smart pitcher is $20 more than an identical Brita pitcher with no smarts to speak of, so the question here is whether or not that Amazon Dash integration is worth the extra 20 bucks. In theory, it's a useful bit of automation -- especially if you already buy replacement filters on the regular. In practice, it isn't all that precise, and more than anything seems designed to get people to buy new filters more often than they would out of habit alone. It certainly isn't something that anyone needs, but it might make a decent gift for a friend who's picky about filtered water.

And if you'd rather not spend that much, there are plenty of cheaper, yet just as durable, alternatives. Oxo's $49 cold brewer is affordable and easy to operate, and makes excellent cold-brew coffee concentrate. Likewise, the $24 Takeya and $30 Bialetti pitchers also have prices that are easy to swallow. Traditional cold brewers like those require at least 12 hours to produce their beverages, but devotees will tell you the stuff is worth the wait.

They're tough enough to toss into bags and survive the hustle and bustle of your days, and Hydro Flask vacuum-insulated bottles resist condensation, so the outside of your bottle will stay dry. This bottle comes with a standard lid, but you can always mix and match. 

$35 at Amazon Pressa Bottle
Our juicer water bottle pick
Pressa Bottle Some people love drinking tap water plain. Some think it's the most boring liquid on the planet, despite it being essential to hydration and human survival. I fall into the latter group, and I'm always better about staying hydrated when water tastes yummier. Sure, you could drop a few berries or squeeze a lemon into your water, but this Pressa infuser water bottle uses a built-in juicer that makes the taste more potent and the cleanup way easier. All you have to do is put your fruit of choice in the juicer and twist the dial on top. This reusable glass bottle has a silicone sleeve and comes apart for easy cleaning. You can also safely clean your Pressa Bottle in the dishwasher.
