My At-Home Coffee Bar Set-Up ‧𓍢ִ໋☕ ׂ 𓈒 ⋆ ۪
24
items Everyone told me to stop spending so much on coffee when I went out. But listen, as someone who's vice is coffee - that is the wrong thing to tell me. Each time I heard it, I got more and more frustrated. So one day I looked into it. Just how much co...

Coffee Bar Cabinet
The cabinet was the most requested
The first picture is our cabinet! A great bar cabinet that sits compactly in our apartment. It fits so many syrups and wines. I put all of my mugs and teas in it, too. It can withstand daily tamping no problem. I highly suggest to eject pucks on a st...

Fav Mugs & Cups!
What's a cozy coffee set up without the best mugs?
I've always said that Le Creuset makes my favorite mugs. I've had my mugs for years. Daily use, daily dishwashing, and not a scratch. They are seriously built to last. While I am still in denial that they discontinued their grand mug, the Vancouver h...
Le Creuset Vancouver Mug
The exact mug in the photo of my set-up is the London Mug. It's the perfect size for when you need a quick latte or hot americano.
Le Creuset London Mug
Like I said, I like my coffee and I like a lot of it. I instinctually grab this because it's the biggest d**m thing I can see. And boy does it hold a lot! I'm glad they named this the “Working” mug. It truly is so versatile and you can add a lid. If ...
Crate & Barrel Working Mug
Another default pick in the morning. I love how sturdy Crate & Barrel cups are. They all have a purpose and excel at it. The crystal drink cups are thin and luxurious while the more practical cups are sturdy and thick. I hate having glass that ha...
Crate & Barrel Dylan 17-Oz. Highball Glass
One of my FAVORITE cups but I have to be so careful with this one. The edges are razor thin and delicate. It somehow makes any drink taste 100x better. For a luxurious and indulgent day.
Natala 12.75-Oz. Faceted Double Old-Fashioned Glass
A mug remembering a romantic trip plus supporting a national park! The exact one we got is not available, but these are made by a local pottery studio and supports the Shenandoah National Park.

Espresso & Grinder
The machine set-up. I did all the research so you don't have to. We are over a year into the espresso-at-home game with zero problems!
Linking to Target because it's much more accessible in case something is wrong with your machine. This little thing is a work horse. There are very few machines at this price point that heats up as quickly. It's perfect for people who are pinched for...
Breville Bambino Stainless Steel Espresso Maker
Espresso Grinders are unfortunately very hard to find in-person and are very expensive. You can easily go into the thousands. It seems that the Eureka Specialita has made a name for itself despite its price point and now is carried by Sur La Table! I...
Eureka Mignon Specialita Espresso Grinder
Espresso Accessories
The default Breville accessories don't cut it for me. Because what my Bambino lacks, I need to make up for it in the actual espresso shot pull. If you are as insufferable as I am, and you want durable, long-lasting accessories: I got you. Most of the...
This portafilter makes pulling a shot a dream. Substantial in weight. You can tell Crema Coffee uses high quality stainless steel. After daily use for over a year, my accessories still have yet to discolor in anyway. My wood choice was Olive wood and...
54 mm Portafilter + Bottoms Optional
A distributer and tamper in one. You can quickly move onto tamping after leveling out your grounds. Fair warning, it is heavy! Don't drop it on your floors and if you drop it on your toes… good luck. At least your floor will thank you for preventing ...
53.3mm Tamper & Distributor Combo
Dosing funnel to catch all those grinds from the Specialita.
54mm Dosing Funnel
When comparing the baskets and build quality of my Breville baskets vs Crema Coffee, there is a significant difference. I have both single and double shot baskets.
54mm Filter Baskets for Breville/Sage
For people who need to make lattes back-to-back! There are days I wish I ordered this jumbo size milk pitcher.
Rattleware 32 oz Latte Art Pitcher
I really like Rattleware pitchers. 20oz is perfect because as you froth, the foam can form quickly. You want to contain all of that within the pitcher so it's not overflowing at the top. For our jumbo sized 14oz lattes, I like to froth about 10oz of ...
Rattleware 20 oz Macchiato Milk Frothing Pitcher
I have this mat, but in white. Boy was this a mistake! Coffee stains naturally and it is very difficult to remove the stains once they settle in. My white Normcore mat has brown spots here and there. However, I will still always recommend this tampin...
Normcore Tamping Station - Natural Walnut Espresso
The best distribution tool. I was considering not getting this for some stupid reason! Trust me when I say that this is a very needed accessory. If not from Crema Coffee, please remember to grab one. This helps you evenly distribute all of the espres...
The WDT Tool
Cannot live without my puck screens. If you can hear me in the morning it's always a cranky “Where are the puck screens???!?!?!” Puck screens help you distribute the high pressure water from the group head and into your grounds. While not essential, ...
Puck Screens
Syrups
Tried and true favorites! I only get Monin syrups - these are not affiliated. Peel an eye out for seasonal syrups at TJ Maxx - you can always find some there for a good discount.
Extra decadent vanilla. I love using this when using plant-based milks to make them a little tastier as I do prefer regular milk. But there always seems to be several moments in the year when there is a sudden rush to buy out the entire grocery store...
French Vanilla Flavored Syrup
A unique taste for your coffee. Lavender syrup from Monin tastes wonderful in both hot and cold drinks.
Lavender Flavored Syrup
An All-time Fav!
Salted Caramel Flavored Syrup
Nutty flavors are my fav in coffees. Toffee Nut does not disappoint!
Toffee Nut Flavored Syrup
Deliciously sweet, but not too indulgent
Toasted Marshmallow
A Classic!
