Welcome to the latest edition of the Cape Coffee Awards! As we usher in a new year, we’d like to take one last look back at what happened in 2025. We’ve now made it a tradition to analyse and rank our customers’ favourite products from the previous year. Below you’ll find the results of that analysis across a number of key categories, from espresso machines to manual brewers to coffee grinders, both manual and electric, to coffee beans and even accessories. Read on to learn more about the winners in each area.

While some perennial favourites continue to appear on the latest Cape Coffee Awards list, we’ve added a lot of new products in the last few months and there have been some important changes in quite a few key categories. As we do every year, we’ve also updated the competition categories to reflect the changes in our industry and our product set. Where it felt appropriate, we’ve highlighted ties and runners up, and we’ve also made some honourable mentions for those brands that have made a big impact in the year gone by. Read on to find out more about our customers’ favourites in 2025!

Please note that this is a purely quantitative list. Winners have been selected solely based on sales volume, and are not necessarily our subjective favourites (though some of them definitely are).

Coffee grinders of the year

To enjoy great coffee, you need a good coffee grinder. Whether manual or electric, having a reliable, consistent, and accurate grinder can make the difference between an enjoyable cup and a disappointing one. Below you’ll find our customers’ favourite grinders in 2025, as well as an honourable mention.

Manual grinder of the year

For 2025, the manual grinder of the year goes to what is now an iconic piece of coffee gear around the world: the Timemore Chestnut C2S. Thanks to its reliable, and sizable, 38mm set of burrs that is easy-to-adjust with a stainless steel dial, and more than 30 settings to experiment with, the Chestnut C2S is perfect for manual brewing methods, offering you consistency across profiles so you can dial-in great flavour.

Favoured by scores of pour-over and filter brew enthusiasts, you may remember that we previously offered the C2S's predecessors, the Timemore Chestnut C & the Timemore Chestnut C2, both of which were winners in their respective categories of the Cape Coffee Awards in prior years. The Chestnut C2S is the latest in this line of approachable, affordable, and easy-to-use manual grinders which give coffee drinkers exactly what they need: consistent and reliable grinding. Offering small but significant upgrades, Timemore has continued to make our most popular hand-grinder even better with every new edition, so it’s no surprise that the Chestnut C has clinched the most popular spot, yet again.

Honourable mention: Mylo Coffee

Since entering the South African specialty coffee market in 2024, Mylo has already made a lasting mark by offering excellent value for its small but mighty lineup of locally-designed manual coffee grinders. While its popularity is yet to match that of Timemore, Mylo’s homegrown entrepreneurial venture and high-quality range of products has captured many coffee lovers’ attention and is definitely worthy of a special mention.

Started by three KZN-based doctors with a shared love for great coffee, Mylo is driven by a desire to help bridge the gap between consumer gear and professional equipment. Last year, Mylo’s SG1 and SG Mini grinders took the second and third places for most sold manual grinders, and in 2026 we know that Mylo will continue to offer premium quality at reasonable prices.

Single-dose grinder of the year

This was a new category for the Cape Coffee Awards in 2024 but for 2025 single-dose grinding garnered even more popularity. With more coffee lovers wanting to experiment with different coffees, as well as minimise waste, and use precise brewing variables, traditional grinder form factors are being abandoned in favour of a new breed coffee grinders that are versatile in their grinding capabilities but designed with the home brewer in mind.

Once more, Timemore’s Sculptor is the champion in this category, thanks to its tasteful, minimalist design and impressive set of features. Available in both filter-only, and espresso-capable versions, everything about the Sculptor range encourages its users to experiment, to try out different beans and get the most out of them every time. Thanks to large sets of precision-engineered burrs, the Sculptor range is as precise as it is versatile.

Building on the success of the Sculptor, Timemore also released a brand new, more affordable, conical-burr grinder in 2025 which immediately had a big impact around the world and with our customers. The more affordable, and smaller sibling, the Bricks 01S, managed to grab second place in its first year on our shelves which is an impressive feat in its own right.

Between the affordable Bricks and the flagship Sculptor, Timemore has now demonstrated itself to be as dominant in the single-dose space as it is in the hand-grinder space. We can’t wait to see what they come up with next!

Domestic espresso grinders of the year

For the fourth year in a row, the Eureka Mignon Manuale has kept its lead as our customers’ favourite domestic espresso grinder. If the Manuale has retained its popularity so consistently, it is undoubtedly because of its affordability and reliability. It offers the basics you need to do the job of grinding for espresso well, including 50mm hardened steel burrs, stepless adjustment and anti-clumping technology, with no additional bells and whistles to speak of. By eschewing the frills, Eureka has managed to keep the Manuale significantly below the price point of the rest of the Mignon range, making it an obvious entry-point that we are always happy to recommend for the home barista.

Nevertheless, some home baristas want more than the basics, and for those looking for a premium home espresso grinder, the Rancilio Stile has become an obvious choice and retained its overall second place in our domestic espresso grinder rankings.

Like the Manuale, the Stile has stepless adjustment, but it also houses a much bigger set of 58mm stainless steel burrs and hefty 250W, 1200RPM motor. It has a touch-screen display that allows you to programme single, and double shots, and thanks to these features and the option for a larger hopper, it’s as practical in a low-volume commercial coffee operation as it is at home. For those looking to get serious about espresso, it’s an obvious upgrade. It’s worth mentioning that it also has a more affordable, non-prommable sibling in the Stile SD which retains most of the performance of the Stile but does not include the touch-screen interface.

Commercial espresso grinder of the year

This year we have a newcomer taking the spot for most-sought after commercial espresso grinder. From HeyCafe, the Buddy on-Demand Espresso Grinder has gained massive popularity by offering commercial-grade, German-engineered burrs, and convenient, time-saving features at a surprisingly modest price point. Manufactured by the Hemro group, the parent company of both Mahlkonig and Anfim grinders, the HeyCafe Buddy boasts 64mm hardened-steel burrs, which deliver exceptional grind uniformity, and flavour clarity of the level typically seen in high-end grinders. With a durable, cast-aluminium body that features a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, and stepless adjustment control for precision dosing, the Buddy is a perfect espresso grinder for the modern cafe environment.

Espresso machines of the year

South Africa has an espresso-based coffee culture, and this is unlikely to change any time soon. In 2025, we saw a continued boom in small, single-site coffee operations, and also a continued interest from amateur baristas in making high-quality espresso drinks at home. Both business-owners and coffee enthusiasts are spoiled for choice these days with the equipment available, and we saw a significant overall rise in the number of machines sold. Below you’ll find some information on the most popular among these with some familiar faces and some new arrivals!

Entry-level domestic espresso machine of the year

Last year’s winner, the Gaggia Classic has lost the title of South Africa’s most popular entry-level home espresso machine to its long-time, closest competitor, the Rancilio Silvia home espresso machine. Despite losing the lead, the Gaggia still showed a strong second place performance, highlighting how it still holds a special place in many home baristas’ hearts.

2025’s winner for entry-level domestic espresso machine, the Rancilio Silvia, is prized for its reliability, and durability, thanks to its commercial-grade components. Unlike many other entry-level options, the Silvia features a solid brass boiler, and a 58mm group head, providing the thermal stability and pressure necessary to produce cafe-quality espresso. It has particular renown for its steam output, which outperforms others in its class, allowing home baristas to create their desired silky, microfoam. While it requires a bit of a learning curve at first, its straightforward, serviceable construction ensures that with basic maintenance, the Silvia can reliably serve great coffee for decades. Now in its 6th edition, the Silvia has been a popular choice for home baristas for decades.

Prosumer domestic espresso machine of the year

Last year’s runner up, the Lelit Bianca has stolen the show by taking the title for ‘prosumer’ domestic espresso machine of 2025. Beating out the previous year’s favourite, the Rancilio Silvia Pro X for the top prosumer spot, the Bianca is not only a favourite on our HQ bar, but it has swayed our customers looking for a premium at-home espresso experience thanks to its extensive set of features

With dual-boilers, and a whisper-quiet rotary pump, it is actually easy to see why the Bianca has taken the top spot. Its host of features, like PID temperature control, walnut accents, variable pressure profiling, OLED display, as well as customisable pre-infusion, shot timers, and energy-saving modes make many people see it as an ‘end-game’ machine choice. It also comes at a price point that is more approachable than other machines with similar features.

Commercial espresso machine of the year

For the top spot of commercial espresso machine of the year, we actually have a tie! We sold the exact same amount of the Classe 5 S commercial espresso machine from Rancilio, and Lelit’s compact, and affordable commercial offering, the Giulietta X, in 2025. Both machines are reliable and impressively affordable for full-size commercial machines, but each offers a slightly different set of features that appeal to different types of budding, and established, coffee businesses.

The Rancilio Classe 5 S is available in both one and two group models, with semi-automatic brewing controls. It’s a heat-exchange-powered workhorse with a sizable boiler, and the basic controls a barista needs to make great coffee. Thanks to a gas-powered option, it’s an obvious choice for mobile coffee stations, and all two-group versions are ready for high-volume operation without missing a beat.

The Giulietta, on the other hand, is a more petite and eye-catching machine with a striking aesthetic as well as programmable automatic controls, PID temperature control, and a simple digital interface that allows for a fair bit of customisation. With its smaller form factor and all-chrome exterior, it’s the perfect choice for those who want to make a statement in their cafe space and serve more modest volumes of coffee. It also offers fantastic value for money.

Between the Rancilio Classe 5 S and the Lelit Giulietta X, independent coffee business owners are bound to find a commercial espresso that suits their budget and purposes. It’s no wonder that dozens of coffee businesses installed one of these two espresso machines in 2025!

Other coffee brewers

While South Africa may still have an espresso-based culture, there’s no question that there is a surging interest in alternative brew methods, which makes us happy. More and more coffee lovers are realising that they can make a delicious coffee at home without an espresso machine, and that frothy milk is not what it’s all about. In fact, manual brew methods can sometimes offer an even better way to enjoy and appreciate the nuances of high-quality specialty coffee.

Bear in mind that there is a huge variety of manual brewers out there, both around the world and on our shelves. While there are some clear winners in terms of popularity, part of the magic of brewing by hand is being able to affordably try lots of different tools. That being said, there are the manual brewing tools that our customers favoured in 2025.

Coffee maker of the year

Our winner for the top coffee maker is once again, the Bialetti Moka Express. Though once challenged by the Hario V60 in the Cape Coffee Awards, the iconic, and durable Moka Express has retained its popularity for decades, despite sporting a design that has been virtually unchanged since the 1930s. It is a true classic, in every sense of the word. It’s also an easy and affordable way to make tasty coffee and specialises in making high-strength brews that can quell that espresso craving without the need for an espresso machine.

The runner up for coffee maker of the year also goes to another great Bialetti product, the Moka Express’s stainless steel sibling, the Venus. Compatible with induction as well as gas and electric heat sources, the Venus adds versatility to the Bialetti range, as well as additional durability, thanks to its more modern materials. Nevertheless, it works exactly the same way as the Moka Express, so it’s an easy alternative to consider, particularly if you like curves more than angles.

Pour-over brewer of the year

While moka pots are still the most popular way to manually brew coffee (pretty much everywhere), pour-over brewing is a clear second and seems to be growing faster, so it feels appropriate to highlight the most popular choices in this category as well. Representing the 3rd and 4th place spots in coffee makers overall, we have two pour-over brewers to highlight for you

It was actually a close contest, as the top contenders for most sold pour-over brewer of 2025 were neck-and-neck. Ultimately, the Hario V60 took first place, albeit by a small margin, demonstrating that its longstanding reputation as the go-to for pour-over brewing stands relatively firm. We love this dripper, and clearly so do our customers, but if you want something slightly different from Hario take a look at their immersion brewer, the Switch.

Hot on the heels of the V60, the still relatively new Air Dripper from Origami came in a close second place. While still less well-known than Hario’s iconic offering, the Origami’s unique aesthetic and feature set are rapidly winning over new adherents both at home and in the cafe. The Origami Dripper is compatible with both cone-shaped filters, like Hario’s, and wave-shaped filters like Kalita’s. Origami even manufactures its own version of both. Leading the charge on a rapidly expanding second generation of Japanese pour-over brewers, we reckon that Origami is a brand to watch in years to come.

Not only was the competition between Hario and Origami pour-over brewers intense in 2025, but the figures for both brewers closely rivalled that of the Bialetti Venus, potentially indicating a shift in home-brewing habits.

Batch-brewer of the year

2024’s winner for the most sought-after batch brewer, the MoccaMaster KBG Select from Technivorm came out ahead once again last year, and we think the reasons behind its return to the top are pretty clear. Put simply, it is not your average drip-filter brewer, either in terms of functionality or aesthetic. Unlike other filter coffee machines you may have seen on kitchen counters that inelegantly dump scalding hot water onto your grounds and continue cooking your coffee while it sits in the server, the Moccamaster has a precisely controlled heating element, and a pulse-pouring system that mimics the gentle act of hand-pouring. These qualities have earned the MoccaMaster international acclaim and recognition from the Specialty Coffee Association. It also has a striking aesthetic, and is available in a beautiful range of colours that make it as appealing to the casual drinker as it is to the coffee nerd.

Bean-to-cup machine of the year

If it were up to us, everyone would brew by hand, but we understand that in certain environments where there are multiple users, and varying levels of coffee-making motivation, like offices, a bean-to-cup may be the most appropriate solution. We also understand that for some people, convenience is king, and we’d still like those people to use fresh, artisan-roasted coffee beans rather than pre-ground, instant, or pods. That’s why we also sell this type of fully-automatic machine, and in 2025 the Gaggia Magenta Automatic Coffee Machine took the crown for best-selling bean-to-cup coffee machine. In the previous year, this spot was claimed by its bigger sibling, the Cadorna.

Thanks to the Magenta’s consistency, quick warm up and attractive price point, it has become a popular choice for coffee automation, particularly in low-volume environments. The Plus model is great for those looking to solve their daily black coffee fix. With one button tap, it can prepare 5 different types of black coffee beverages, and has a steam wand to warm milk. If frothy, milky beverages are your go-to, the Prestige version of the Magenta has an automatic milk frother, and detachable carafe, to store milk in the fridge. Since they are from Gaggia, you can be sure that both Magenta models were designed and built by people with a deep consideration for good coffee.

Accessories of the year

Here we would like to celebrate the most popular peripheral coffee-making items that we offer. While they may not be as inherently exciting or appealing as the central pieces of coffee-making gear, we believe that the right accessories, and even consumables, can improve your routine and the quality of the coffee you make. We’ve selected categories based on what types of items are the most popular overall, and then highlighted winners within each category.

Scale of the year

Timemore’s premium coffee-making equipment continues to dominate the Cape Coffee Awards for 2025, with both first and second places for best-selling scale going to the Shanghai-based brand’s Black Mirror series. Both scales are super responsive, hardy and designed with Timemore’s recognisable, stylish, functional, and minimalist approach.

In first place, the best-selling scale of the year goes to the Black Mirror Basic+ 2. With 0.1g precision, a water-resistant nano-coating, and a physical switch to preserve the 1600mAh battery, the Black Mirror scale provides you with the consistency needed to remove any guesswork from your recipes. To refine your pouring technique the latest version even includes a flow-rate indicator.

In second place is Timemore’s espresso-specific variant of the Black Mirror, the Black Mirror Mini. It is fundamentally the same scale, but the Mini is ultra-compact and tailored to the tight work zone of a drip tray. Also noteworthy, is the dedicated espresso mode, which automatically tares your cup, and triggers a timer at the first drop of espresso from the portafilter, before stopping precisely when your flow finishes It displays final yield as well as duration.

Honourable mention: Presso Coffee Scales

In 2025 our customers bought so many Presso coffee scales that we feel an honourable mention is due. The Presso coffee scale has become the go-to entry point for home baristas looking for their first, or additional scale for their coffee setup without breaking the bank. It comes in two sizes, standard - suited for manual brew methods - and the mini for espresso. Both are an affordable, and reliable alternative to the scales of premium brands like Acaia, Hario or Timemore.

Kettle of the year

Pour-over brewing takes more than just time and conscious effort; it also involves a bit of technique and precision. A good pour-over kettle should kick your brewing up a notch with the help of variable temperature control and a goose-neck.

While the gooseneck form-factor and temperature control technology have been around for quite some time, Timemore seems to have applied its expert design and engineering in this category in the same way it has with other types of accessories. As a result, the best-selling kettle of 2025 was the Timemore Fish Pro Variable Temperature Pouring Kettle. The Fish Pro reaches the desired temperatures quickly, and pours straight down with minimal start or stop delays. With a large effective capacity, for non-stop pouring, a precise gooseneck spout giving you control over the flow and direction of your pour, this variable temperature kettle has everything our customers appreciate.

Puck-prep accessory of the year

Puck prep received a lot of attention in 2025, both in terms of the approach and the hardware. People have rightly realised that how you prepare the coffee after grinding, and before you pull your shot, has a huge impact on the quality and flavour of the final espresso or espresso-based drink. There are now hundreds of devices available to help with this, and we’re proud to sell some of the best. Here are the most popular within our range.

First place goes to the simple and affordable Brew Tool Coffee Needle. Like any good WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) tool, the Needle from Brew Tool utilises thin, steel needles to rake through the ground coffee in your portafilter, homogenising and distributing your grounds, to break up any clumps and reduce the chances of channelling. We stock a range of WDT tools, but thanks to its approachable price tag, Brew Tool's Needle has clinched another win in this category.

In second place, our customers love the more highly-engineered, and cafe-ready NCD, or Nucleus Coffee Distributor. Placing it atop your portafilter and giving it two spins, levels your waiting grounds for easier tamping, and gives you uniform puck distribution. It is quick to use, and is easily repeatable. It’s also the latest version of the very first wedge distribution tool of this type. Its sturdy build and recognisable brand make it one of the top choices in a busy professional environment, but it’s also easy to use at home.

WDT tools and wedge, fin-based distribution tools work in different ways (and at different speeds). Some very dedicated and meticulous enthusiasts opt for using both: first using a WDT tool to declump, and then using a distributor like the NCD to level the surface.

Espresso accessory of the year

When it comes to investing in an espresso setup, baristas soon realise that it is not just about the machine and grinder. You also need the right accessories to make your workflow manageable and repeatable.

The Sonner Knock Box is a receptacle for the spent pucks from your portafilter. Winning this category for the third consecutive year, the Sonner resembles an ice bucket, with a ledge inside to knock the side of your portafilter against. Designed to provide low impact, to improve your workflow, and make your espresso-making routine a little more enjoyable, this knock box is budget-friendly and makes a great gift for any espresso-lovers in your life. It’s perfectly at home in a busy café or on a kitchen counter, which explains why it’s so popular with our customers.

If you want to show your support for your favourite go-to supplier for all things coffee, this durable, BPA-plastic free bin is available with the Cape Coffee Beans logo on the front.

In second place for most-sold espresso accessory in 2025, we have the IMS Precision Espresso Filter Basket. The reputation behind IMS is far-reaching and if you are reading this, then you have probably already heard about its unique shape and patented, laser-precise, perforated construction. IMS Filter Baskets are engineered to optimise extraction and aid puck drying and expulsion. They are a breeze to clean up and they genuinely make better-tasting espresso. Because they are solid pieces of steel, they’re suitable in a busy cafe, but they’re also an affordable way to upgrade your espresso at home.

Rounding off our podium for the espresso accessories category, our third place podium finisher is thePeakabrew Adhesive Milk Jug Thermometer. For baristas honing their latte art, or home espresso-enthusiasts getting to know their steam wand, heating milk to the right temperature takes more than a little practice. In a café environment a few degrees Celsius can be the difference between a happy and angry customer. Instead of relying on intuition, and muscle memory, many of our customers opt for this handy sticker’s assistance, to consistently reach that perfect milk temperature.

Non-coffee consumable of the year

This is a new category for the Cape Coffee Awards and, while it will always be coffee itself taking centre-stage, the integrity of any brew relies heavily on water chemistry, and equipment hygiene. The three finalists in this category are consumable products that help you achieve the consistency necessary to honour the profile of any coffee you brew.

The longevity and performance of brewing hardware depends on consistent and effective cleaning, requiring a cleaning detergent like Caffenu Espresso Machine Cleaning Powder. Taking first place, as 2025’s most popular non-coffee consumable with CCB’s customers, when used regularly and correctly, it eliminates the buildup that could compromises the taste in your cup, and efficiency of your machine.

In the runner-up position, second place for the best-selling non-coffee consumable goes to the Third Wave Water Mineral Sachets. These useful packets give you a convenient way to control your water quality. Third Wave Water blends offer the ideal balance of minerals for coffee extraction in any context. You simply add them to distilled, or reverse osmosis water (which is devoid of minerals) to create the ideal brewing water. All four variants of our sachets have grown in popularity recently, and they narrowly beat out another form of mineraliser which rounds off our podium.

In third place for non-coffee consumables of 2025, is the replacement cartridge filter for the BWT Magnesium Mineraliser Water Filter Jug. Using BWT-filtered water not only protects coffee equipment, such as espresso and filter coffee machines, from limescale, it also balances mineral content, giving you a marked improvement on the flavour of any brewed coffee.

Coffee book of the year

One of the amazing things about coffee is how much there is to learn. At all stages in the supply chain, so many variables can affect the quality of the final brew. As a barista, you also have a huge amount of control over what you taste, which is only aided by a better understanding of what happened to the coffee before you got your hands on it. For all those reasons, and many more, we think coffee is a topic worth studying, and it seems that many of our customers agree as we sold a lot of coffee-related books in 2025!

For a second year running, James Hoffman’s second book, How To Make the Best Coffee at Home has taken the prize for most popular coffee book available here at Cape Coffee Beans. Almost every coffee nerd who walks through our doors is familiar with “the Hoff” and his informative (and quirky) YouTube videos. It is easy to see why his practical book about coffee-making is so popular. The stylish hard cover contains easy-to-understand advice about brewing coffee as well as his personal research about how to achieve excellent extractions, no matter your brew or coffee preferences.

How To Make the Best Coffee at Home covers many relevant topics for the home enthusiast, from how to find good beans to keeping your equipment clean, as well as the basic principles of many coffee brewers. Also included are helpful brewing recipes for each method, designed to be repeatable and easy to execute.

Top 3 coffee brands of the year

And finally, we arrive at the end of the Cape Coffee Awards, but we saved the best for last. After all, it’s the coffee itself that’s most important, right? Because of coffee’s importance, we’d like to pause, before announcing the volume-based winners, to acknowledge all of our roasting partners who undertake the all-important tasks of sourcing, selecting, and roasting the ingredient that makes our beloved beverage. We believe they are all phenomenal and worthy of accolades, but when it comes to the numbers, our customers clearly favoured three particular brands.

3. Bean There Coffee

For the first time, we’re thrilled to see Bean There in our top three. Offering a range of phenomenal African coffees, we believe that Bean There’s growing popularity is a result of their unrelenting focus on quality. It was probably also helped by some fantastic limited releases under the Olga’s Reserve label.

Founded in 2005, Bean There was not just among South Africa's first speciality coffee roasters, they were also SA's very first roaster of Fairtrade-certified beans. Bean There partners closely with African producers to source some of the continent's best coffee beans, and is committed to making a sustainable difference to the lives of the people who grow them.

Listen to the Bean There CCB podcast episode with Jonathan Robinson, where we get to know the unique aspects of their approach. Buy their Fairtrade beans here.

2. Cedar

For the third year in a row, second place for roaster of the year goes to Cedar! Given that Cedar is a passion project that started just four years ago, gaining this much popularity is an impressive accomplishment. For those who have met them, Cedar’s success is easily attributable to founders Winston and Leigh’s dedication to quality, exacting standards, and serious work ethic. They’ve built a world-class coffee roasting business in an incredibly short space of time and they are still growing it rapidly, just having opened a new café space.

Hear from Winston and Leigh themselves on our podcast, and pick up some tasty Cedar beans here.

1. Tribe

When it comes to first place within our stable of amazing coffee-roasting businesses, there is an undisputed champion in terms of sheer volume, and that is Tribe. Cape Town’s favourite artisan coffee brand has been around for many years, and has been through many changes recently, but Tribe still roasts the coffee that people want to drink, and that’s clear in our numbers. Tribe’s success is supported not only by the army of coffee lovers who buy their beans from us every day, but also from the dozens of small businesses who buy their wholesale offering from us to serve to their customers across the country.

If you want to know more about Tribe, read up on them here, or give Tribe’s episode on the CCB podcast a listen. And, if you want to buy some of their delicious beans (we know many of you want to) click right here.
