My Coffee Bar Must-Haves & What I Use In Instagram Reels

coffee bar must-haves

I love my home coffee bar. Once you learn to make your own favorite coffeehouse drinks, it becomes a bit of an addiction. Customizing each drink to your own preferences and knowing you can get it exactly right each time becomes a daily source of happiness. 

Plus, over time, you can really save money, without sacrificing your favorite coffee drinks, by making them at home. This doesn’t mean I still don’t enjoy visiting my favorite coffee houses, but I can save those for days when I really want them, rather than feeling like I need to go every day. 

I’ve been sharing my favorite coffee recipes at home (and some of my coffee house drinks, too) on my Instagram and wanted to create a post where I can link to all of the things I use to make my coffee at home. 

So, if you’ve seen a coffee recipe, or a Nespresso pod, or a cool glass in my pictures or videos, this is the place to find all the links. I’ve broken it into sections to keep it organized and I’ll update as I add things to my collection. 

Enjoy!
