As a former barista, I am picky about my coffee! I am *also* on a budget and like to make my coffee at home to save money. And when I discovered instant espresso and coffee, my world CHANGED. I've since been experimenting with tons of different iced and hot coffee recipes, and below are my favorite products!

I started my personal finance journey when I was 25 and making less than $27,000/year. These are the books that helped me kick-start my budgeting and investing journey-- and helped me save $100k by age 30 on a $42k/year average income!
