Hi there, Here is a curated list of items I have in my little coffee bar setup at home that I find are essential. I started out during Covid when most people were at locked up at home and I wanted coffee at home. I began with a moka pot, but slowly expanded my set up over time. Most of my items were ordered from Amazon, but you can definitely shop around for similar items due to budget. I keep my list as budget friendly as possible and by no means do you need every single item at the start. If you do shop at Amazon, make sure to use the coupon or during holiday sales to bring the price down. Overtime, I'll include any new items I purchased that are useful. As of right now, below are the items I have at home.There's also a section for Coffee Beans that I am currently trying that's good. Some might be listing of coffee beans from different countries that I brought back from my travel so they might not be available to be shipped to you. I would recommend trying those places if you are traveling and can stop by.

So, I'm a coffee lover, but I'm not ALWAYS a coffee snob. And, for the record, I don't know about subtle flavor notes. I love a delicious gourmet coffee, but sometimes it's just not in the budget. It stings spending over $10 for a bag of coffee, and there are lots of reasonable coffee out there.

They use seasonal ingredients, such as pumpkins, dates and zucchini, or are baked in the oven which doesn’t get turned on over summer. Where possible I have linked to Australian websites.
