Coffee Machines + Espresso Makers
The coffee and espresso machines I actually use and love. Easy, reliable options for everything from a quick everyday coffee to making lattes and espresso at home.
My favorite coffee machine. It works so well, is super easy to use, and doesn’t take up a ton of counter space. I use it all the time and love that you can make both coffee and espresso depending on what you’re in the mood for.
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker
I have this one too and it’s surprisingly easy to use. It makes really good espresso, the milk frother is simple, and I love that it’s easy to clean after. A great option if you want more of a real espresso machine without something that feels overly...
GE Profile Espresso Machine
I also have this one for regular coffee and use it all the time for hot water too. Super easy, quick, and nice to have when you don’t want espresso and just want a normal cup of coffee, tea, or something hot.
Keurig Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker
Milk Frothers
My favorite frothers for making coffee at home feel a little more like a coffee shop. Easy to use, easy to clean, and perfect for lattes, cappuccinos, or adding a little foam to your everyday coffee.
My favorite frother. It’s so easy to use, works really well, and makes the milk super smooth and foamy without any effort. One of those little coffee bar extras I use all the time.
Nespresso Milk Frother
Super small, super easy, and works really well. Perfect if you want a simple handheld frother that doesn’t take up any space and gets the job done fast.

Coffee Pods/Creamers
The pods, creamers, and flavors I keep around for making good coffee at home. A mix of my everyday go-tos and fun seasonal favorites.
My Go-to. Such a good variety pack if you’re still figuring out which Nespresso pods you like best. I love having a mix on hand so I can switch it up depending on whether I want something stronger, smoother, or just an easy everyday coffee.
Nespresso Capsules Vertuo
Such a good seasonal creamer. It makes coffee taste cozy and fall-y without needing to add a bunch of extra syrups or flavors. So easy to keep in the fridge when you want a quick pumpkin coffee at home.
Chobani Coffee Creamer Pumpkin Spice
So good if you like a sweeter coffee. The cookie butter flavor makes it taste way more fun without needing to add a bunch of syrups, and it’s an easy little upgrade for an at-home coffee.

Accessories
All the little things that make a coffee bar cute, organized, and actually functional. Trays, spoons, pod storage, and the extras that make the whole setup feel put together.
Such a cute little coffee bar detail. Perfect for stirring in creamer or syrup, and they make the whole setup feel a little more put together without taking up any space.
Mini Stirring Spoon
My cute little spoon holder. Such a small detail, but it makes the coffee bar feel so much more put together and gives me an easy spot to set my spoon between drinks.
Mackenzie Childs Courtly Check Spoon Rest
Such a good little tray for keeping all the coffee bar extras together. I’d use it for syrups, spoons, pods, and anything else you want within reach without making the counter look cluttered.
Rectangle Marble Tray White
I use these to hold my Nespresso pods and they’re so cute on the coffee bar. They keep everything contained but still look decorative, which makes the whole setup feel way more intentional.

Mugs
Because the mug is half the fun. My favorite cute coffee mugs, espresso cups, and seasonal finds that make my coffee bar feel a little more fun.
Such a cute holiday mug without feeling too over-the-top. I love adding a few seasonal mugs to the coffee bar because it makes the whole setup feel festive without having to completely redo it.
Sloane Striped Stoneware Mug
Another really cute mug for the coffee bar. I love pieces like this because they add a little color and personality without feeling too themed, so it can stay out way past the holidays too.
Greta Stoneware Mug
Adorable. Such a fun little holiday piece for espresso or a tiny coffee, and it instantly makes the coffee bar feel more festive without taking up much space.
