☕ espresso & brewing
tools i've used and loved — from beginner-friendly espresso machines to travel-ready moka pots.
my first machine! learned so much using this. comes with everything you need to get started and feels so satisfying to use. i got the silver one as a gift many years ago now, but i LOVE the white color. highly recommend 🤍
☕️ espresso works 7-piece set
when life got busy i wasn't using my more manual machine that much, and would often buy lattes out. i used to be very against nespresso pods due to the waste, but they have a recycling program i take advantage of. i got mine secondhand on my apartmen...
🪩 nespresso vertuo pop+
a must-have for slower mornings or when you're craving some drip coffee! i don't have a regular coffee machine, so this is a simple and compact way to have access to fresh hot coffee or quick iced coffee when the craving hits. 🤍
🫖 french press
game-changer for cold brew lovers! i've had this for YEARS — since the first time i tried blue bottle in the pru. super easy to prep for the morning, no mess, super smooth coffee, and easy to keep in the fridge. i actually prefer using it for cold br...
❄️ haro cold brew bottle
bold, rich stovetop espresso without the machine. i was seeing these all over social media and was SO curious to try, esp because it would be so easy to bring traveling for easy access to espresso-like coffee. i got mine at tjmaxx/homegoods for super...
moka pot
🍮 nespresso pod faves
pods i reorder again and again. i love pairing them with nut milks or homemade syrups for different flavor profiles!
say what you want about the weeknd but this is one of my faves! super bold, complex taste that pairs so well with nut milks and homemade syrups. 🤍

i am trying to wean off coffee particular weeks of my cycle, so it's helpful to have single shots on hand. this one is really nice. 🤍

☀️ single espresso orafio
i struggle with decaf because i'm not a fan, but i am trying to wean off coffee particular weeks of my cycle. it's good to have on hand also for when friends visit and we might want an afternoon or evening caffecito without the caffeine. decaf doesn’...

🌙 decaffeinato altissimo
🥛 milks & creamers
from clean & high-protein to super creamy oat milks — i rotate between these depending on mood, cycle, and vibe.
my favorite!! ultra creamy and so easy! i make mine with a nut milk bag + nuts from trader joe’s.
recipe: soak 1 cup cashews (overnight in the fridge for best texture, or a few hours in boiling water if you’re short on time) with 1 date, then blend with 3 cups fresh filtered water and a pinch of salt until smooth. sometimes i add a date, agave, o...

🥛 homemade nut milks (walnut + cashew)
super clean ingredients and the best flavor if you love nutty drinks – i also love using it for matchas and elixirs. only 2 ingredients and a great source of omega-3 especially for plantbased gals 🤍
🌰 elmhusrt walnut milk
not the cleanest, but SO creamy for lattes and frothing. definitely a treat option. perfect texture when i want something indulgent. 🤍
🥛 chobani extra creamy oat milk
easy to find at cvs and small grocery stores near me, so often grab when about to run out of milk or when traveling! smooth flavor and reliable for both hot and iced. 🤍
🌾 califia farms barista blend oat milk
this one’s super clean (just soybeans + water) and is the best for morning lattes, elixirs, with oreos, etc.! my absolute fave and so affordable. high protein too! putting an end to soy misinformation one rec at a time 🌿🤍
🌿 trader joe’s organic soy milk
🍴 tools & accessories
(for brewing, cleaning, and elevating your ritual). these are the essentials that help with making and maintaining your coffee setup — from frothing to straining to measuring and descaling.
the absolute worst process but standard and good to do for any machine! i use this quarterly-ish when i have the strength to stick it out through the confusing instructions. 🤍
🧼 nespresso descaling kit
makes a huge difference for french press, pour-over, and dialing in espresso shots. 🤍
🥄 digital coffee scale
i originally bought this for travel matcha, but it quickly became an everyday staple. i use it to whip up cold foams, frothy nut milks, or quick matchas when i don’t feel like whisking. it’s compact, powerful, and super easy to rinse. great starter t...
🌡 electrick whisk/milk frother
essential for homemade nut milks – makes it so easy to strain and super satisfying. 🤍
🫧 nut milk bag
i make my own syrups and label them with the included stickers (vanilla is my staple). makes my coffee bar feel so luxe. 🤍
🫙 syrup bottles
🫙 glassware & cups
(because cute mugs > everything). my favorites for serving, sipping, and taking it on-the-go. these make the whole experience feel elevated, even on busy days.
my fave from target! i couldnt leave them at the store when i first saw them. so cute for iced lattes and showing off pretty drinks. 🤍
🫙 potomac glassware set
i brew espresso directly into these! tiny, durable, and so cute. had mine over a year now and still obsessed. 🤍
☕ glass espresso jars
compact, keeps drinks super cold or super hot, and super durable! got mine from tatte years ago and still love it to this day. so if you're ever tempted to buy a branded miir bottle from your fave café, do it! 🤍
🫙 miir travel mug
when i want a gigantic iced coffee moment. super sturdy and cute. 🤍
🫙 weck jars
sentimental fave from a spontaneous coffee run with my boyfriend — durable and sleek. 🤍
