There are folks who like coffee, and then there are folks who really like coffee. If you're in the latter camp, we're willing to bet you have a pretty sweet home-brewing set up. If you don't already (or are looking to expand), Dollar Tree is a place where you can pursue that passion without breaking the bank. That doesn't mean you should go there for all things java. Due to an unfortunate lack of flavor, you should probably never buy coffee at Dollar Tree if you can avoid it. A proper dig through the kitchen aisle, however, will reveal that it's a treasure trove of accessories.

Whether you need a place to store your assortment of beans, an easy way to add your homemade simple syrups to your iced latte, or some gadgets that will give your coffee station that cutesy cafe vibe, there's a little something to scratch that itch. Beyond stylish items, there are also functional products. These include a descaling solution for your coffee machine and filters at a price that can't be beat.

Fabric storage container

In a world where coffee culture is tre chic, having too many coffee mugs isn't an altogether uncommon problem. But no matter how many you've collected, we suspect that you rotate between your two or three favorites. Free up precious cabinet space by storing non-essential mugs in a fabric storage container. Not only do they look cute, but they contain the mountain of mugs in a way that protects both you and them from disaster. Pro tip: Make some DIY cardboard dividers or wrap them in some old newspaper to prevent chipping.

Sugar and cocoa powder pourers

Nothing makes you feel like you've leveled up in life quite like an accessory that brings the resteraunt vibe to your kitchen. With this classic diner-style glass sugar pourer and shaker set, you can create your favorite cafe's sexy little milk and sugar station at home. While the sugar pourer has a wide enough spout that can unleash the sweetness of granulated sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, or whatever other sweetener you buy in bulk, the shaker is perfect for topping your morning latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder. We see you, barista!

Glass Irish coffee mugs

If you're going to the effort of whipping up your world famous Bailey's whipped cream for an Irish coffee cocktail recipe, you might as well take it all the way with the appropriate glassware. Rather than break the bank on expensive Irish coffee mugs, grab half a dozen of Dollar Tree's version for just $1.50 a pop. The sleek mugs are the perfect size and shape for sipping a cozy after-dinner cocktail by the fire. Not a coffee drinker? Fill 'em up with mulled wine or peppermint schnapps hot chocolate, instead.

Coffee filters

If you rip through coffee filters like nobody's business, you're going to want to buy those suckers in bulk. Dollar tree has got packs of 100 coffee filters for $1.25, while a 150-pack of the same brand goes for more than four times that price on Amazon.  The 8-inch filters fit just about any standard coffee machine that brews eight to 12 cups. One reviewer on Amazon said they aren't just effective for their intended use. "These are a good weight, thickness for making coffee but I also find them very useful for cleaning glass/mirrors and use for packing/separating items," they wrote. 

Espresso and coffee machine cleaner

You'd never guess that one of the grossest things in your kitchen is you coffee maker. But without proper cleaning, it can be a breeding ground for bacteria, mineral buildup, and limescale. Not only can this eventually lead to slower pour times and possible damage to the machine, but it can also affect the taste of your beloved morning brew. So, regular cleanings are necessary. While Keurig's descaler would run you $8 at Walmart, Homebright's iteration at  Dollar Tree is only $1.50.

glass bottles with pour spouts

We know your go-to brew tastes much better when your favorite barista makes it, but that's mostly because they have all those fancy cafe accouterments and the ability to mix and match seasonal flavors like it's nobody's business. You, too, can have your favorite syrups on hand with Dollar Tree's glass bottles with pour spouts. Though they are often sold as oil and vinegar bottles, you can use them like the ones you'd find at a swanky cocktail bar or coffee shop. Just whip up an easy simple syrup recipe, and while the water is still hot, steep dried lavender or rose petals in it for a sweet floral infusion. If french vanilla is more your jam, a spoon full of added vanilla and hazelnut extract may do the trick. 

Glass cookie jar

Rather than fumbling with bulky bags of espresso or coffee beans, store them in glass cookie jars. Not only will the metal, twist-off lid keep the beans airtight for extended freshness, but an appropriately sized measuring cup can also stay tucked away in the jar so you get just the right amount in your grinder. With the help of a label maker, you can un-complicate your search for the brew of the day by having a designated jar for each type of coffee you drink. While you're at it, grab an extra to store the results of your delightful homemade biscotti recipe.
