Keurig
I descale every few months I believe. My machine prompts me and I just brew away until it’s complete. We have always used this stuff and our machines are always replaced before they stop working.
Keurig® Descaling Solution
This is what we always have on hand. It’s my husbands favourite brand. It’s a smooth roast - their breakfast blend if you wanted to categorize it.
McCafé Premium Roast Coffee K-Cup Pods, 80-count | Costco
Wee I do live in Canada and this is most my guests preference so we keep a box on hand!
K-Cups | TimShop - Tim Hortons
I have a similar one to this to keep our pods in. I love that the keurig sits on top so it doesn’t take up tons of space!
Keurig® Rolling Storage Drawer
I have one of these bad boys! Trusted machine that is convenient and durable. Make sure to descale as required and enjoy!
Shop Coffee Makers | Keurig Canada
Nespresso
This is the machine we use for our Nespresso needs! It comes with a handy app that helps lots. Very easy to use and very small footprint.
Vertuo Next White Aeroccino Bundle | Coffee Machine - Nespresso
This is my go to espresso. It’s affordable and it’s what I would order if I was stopping at Starbucks. Easy to brew and the taste you love - at home!
Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast coffee capsules - Nespresso
This is the flavour we buy when we stock up! These are a bit more money than a store bought pod and it’s really a pain to go to the Nespresso store. But it’s an experience and you get a free cup of coffee of your choice!
Mexico Coffee Capsules | Nespresso Canada
These pods are also a bit expensive but they slate delicious and easy to use. Why wake up to a mediocre cup of coffee when you can have this?
Colombia | Coffee Capsule | Original | Nespresso Canada
This was probably the best latter I’ve ever made using this pod. It came in a variety pack when we bought the machine and if it was more affordable - would be my go to espresso choice!
Altissio Coffee Capsules | Arabica Espresso | Nespresso Canada
Mixes / Syrups
This is a great addition to your morning coffee. It’s affordable, lasts a long time and helps recreate your favourite bought beverages!
Torani Vanilla Flavour Syrup 750 Milliliter.ca
I’ll be honest. I bought this to make chai tea lattes and I haven’t quite figured it out. This syrup is strong and has a bite to it. I keep adding it to things in hopes it will fit well!
Chai Tea Spice - Torani
These pumps are a must have if you’re doing syrups. I find it much to hard to eyeball and these are easy to use and mess free. I do find you have to rinse the inner stem monthly as the little drips of syrup crystallize and make pumping difficult.
Torani Syrup Pump for 750 Ml Bottle.ca
I always have these on hand for when we make hot chocolate. Helps add the creaminess to the drink! And it makes it feel like it’s a fancy drink!
Mini Marshmallows.ca
This is the hot chocolate mix we use in our house. It’s got a great taste and lasts a long time. A few scoops and some hot water and mini mallows and you’re got an artisan style beverage!
CARNATION Rich and Creamy Hot Chocolate Mix - 1.7kg - Nestle.ca
We use this and other brands (whatever we can find) in our coffee station. It’s always nice having the option for a quick cappuccino if you want. I find Tim’s is super sweet so I don’t mix it full strength. Usually add some coffee to it.
Tim Horton's Instant Cappuccino, French Vanilla
I love a good English toffee beverage in the morning. It’s a bit sweet but has that coffee taste to it keeping it a balanced sip. Easy to drink and delicious!
English Toffee - Instant Cappuccino Mix
This is hand down my favourite oat milk for hot beverages. It just tastes better and I’ve almost tried every brand on the market. I however don’t love paying $5/l - so I drink iced coffee more than hot.
Oat Barista | Shelf Stable - Earth's Own
Tools
This is the one we use. You can recharge it, it comes with different attachments and it’s a click on click off button. I never have luck with the ones that you push to blend.
HSIULMY Rechargeable Milk Frother, 3 Speeds
We have one of these because my daughter loves matcha. It’s not my drink of choice, but this helps sift and break up the clumps so you get a nice smooth creamy drink!
Matcha Sifter - Camellia Sinensis
I have one of these that stays put on my stove. It’s really nice to use when you’re making multiple cups and require a lot of water. I also love the vintage kettle sound it makes. Whole reason I bought it.
The Best Stovetop Kettles, Tested and Reviewed - Food & Wine
Same thing - I bought this for my daughter to whisk her matcha drinks. I don’t know if this is the best one or not but I works and everything I found at the time was similar. She’s never complained.
