I used to treat myself to a matcha most mornings, but since the pandemic, I've been making my special drink (a cross between a latte and an Americano) every morning. It's thoroughly enjoyable to drink, but the whisking of the matcha is a process. Enter the Cuzen Matcha Maker ($369). It was named one of the best inventions of 2020 by Time Magazine, and I got to see if it lives up to the hype."
The machine comes with matcha leaves, and it grinds them up into a powder, which is then whisked with water to create a shot of matcha. You can pour this shot into whatever drink you like, whether that's an Americano, latte, or even a lemonade. You can also choose your desired strength, creating your dream matcha. I'm a seasoned matcha drinker, so I always go with the strongest option." — India Yaffe, assitant editor, Commerce
