A great cup of coffee depends on more than the beans, from the ice that keeps it cold to the froth on top. Diluted ice, a flat pour or a milk frother that's a hassle to clean can undercut an otherwise good cup, and small accessories can fix each of those problems.
Consumer Reports tested reusable straws, an ice cube tray, an icemaker and a milk frother, so coffee drinkers can round out their setup with tools that actually hold up.
