Retro coffee is social media's latest trend: Shop manual espresso makers and accessories

Move over cold brew and matcha lattes, there's a new coffee trend in town -- but it's not really new at all.

The art of brewing espresso the old-fashioned way is making a major comeback, and the resurgence has coffee lovers trading in their high-tech machines for timeless, non-electric espresso makers that embody a slower, hands-on approach to brewing.

Healthy cooking tools for your kitchen

Part craft, part ritual and entirely Instagrammable, these traditional tools are making their way into kitchens everywhere, and with good reason:

Nostalgia meets aesthetics: There's something romantic about the sound of a stovetop espresso maker bubbling away or the tactile feel of pressing grounds into a manual machine. Pair that with sleek, vintage-inspired designs, and you've got a coffee-making process that looks as good as it tastes.
Simplicity in the chaos: In an era where technology permeates every aspect of life, unplugging -- even for coffee -- feels like a breath of fresh air. The ritualistic nature of these methods invites mindfulness and intentionality into your morning routine.
Affordability: Traditional espresso makers are often far less expensive than their electric counterparts, making them a more accessible choice for coffee enthusiasts.

Below is a list of stovetop and traditional espresso makers (and must-have accessories) to help you brew your way to coffee bliss.
