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!
My Coffee Bar Must-Haves:
This post contains affiliate links. I bought most of these items with my own money and only recommend what I use and love. If you make a purchase through my links, I may receive a commission at no cost to you. Cheers!
1. Nespresso Vertuoline Machine – find the 9 best Nespresso machines here
2. Nespresso Aeroccino Milk Frother
5. Hario V60 pour over filters
6. Milk Boss hand frother, UPDATE: I now use this milk frother and it works even faster.
7. Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle – full review on this here
9. Espresso double shot glass (I use this for brewed shots so that they cool a bit before I pour them over ice). UPDATE: I also use these espresso double shot glasses that look so cool.
10. UPDATE Little Milk Pitcher – If you’ve seen this cute little milk pitcher in my videos, here is the link!
1. Glass bottles – for homemade syrups
2. Stumptown coffee beans – some of the best!
3. Stok Cold Brew Coffee – the best cold brew, read the full cold brew taste test here
4. Torani Vanilla Syrup – when I don’t make my own, I like this one
5. Torani Cinnamon Syrup – you can make it at home, or buy this one
6. Brown Sugar Cinnamon Syrup – so delicious, but you can always make it at home. You can also make just brown sugar syrup, too.
7. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough – so good, makes a great copycat for the Dutch Bros Cookie Dough Cold Brew. I also used it to make this delicious cookie dough iced coffee at home.
8. Ghirardelli White Chocolate Sauce
10. Torani Dark Chocolate Sauce – use this to make the best iced mocha recipe ever
11. Silk Sweet & Creamy Almond Creamer – my favorite creamer ever
*I’m always adding more tumblers and glasses to my collection. The best place for updated links is on my Instagram under the highlight LINKS.
1. Beer can glass – use these for almost all of my coffee recipes and videos
2. Antique glass – use these for my spoons, measuring spoons and Nescafe packets
3. Clear coffee mugs – love the double wall for insulation
4. Glass tumblers – these have a silicone sleeve
5. Glass tumbler – this daisy print is so sweet. I used this in this coffee video.
6. Reduce tumbler – another great tumbler I use all the time. I shared all my favorite coffee tumblers in this post.
7. Measuring spoons – love this set with the wooden handles
8. Gold spoons – these sweet little spoons are perfect for the coffee bar
9. Glass straws – I also like metal straws, for iced coffees, but these glass ones are the ones I use in most of my videos
Best Nespresso Pods:
If you’re looking for the best Nespresso pods, in my opinion, here is what I recommend:
Starbucks Espresso Pods – MY FAVORITE!
Double Chiaro Espresso Pod
Iced Forte Iced Coffee Pods
