High quality machines and tools are key to making delicious coffee drinks at home
I got this as a gift a few years ago and it’s been the best gift I’ve ever gotten. It’s been well used between lattes, iced coffees, and espresso. There is a slight learning curve (check out tutorial videos online), but this really allows you to fine...
Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
If the Breville Barista is out of your budget range, this is a great option also! *Note that this does not come with it's own grinder, so you will need to get that separately.
Breville Bambino - Compact Espresso Machine
If you opt for a Bambino, it does not come with its own grinder, so you will need to get a separate one.
Cuisinart Electric Burr Coffee Grinder
For cold foam! I've also used this to make homemade whipped cream.
Zulay Kitchen Milk Frother Wand with Batteries
Great for storing coffee beans!

This isn't necessary when starting out, but it's been very handy for me to prevent ground ground messes from my portafilter.
54mm Dosing Funnel for Barista & Bambino
Again, not necessary when starting out, but this helps to evenly distribute and break up chunks of ground coffee before expressing it.
WDT Espresso Distribution Tool
To clean your espresso machine. Every 1-3 months is recommended if it's used regularly.

This is similar to the cold foam recipe I use (and how I've heard from baristas it's made). I do about ¼ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup lowfat milk, and 3 ½ pumps of vanilla syrup (but it may differ depending on cup size). Add most of it to cold brew, and fr...
How to Make Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam
I strongly suggest getting fresh roasted whole beans at a local roastery/coffee shop. However, this is a great starting point. I love dark roasts, and this one has some yummy notes.
Caffè Verona ® - Whole Bean
Did you know you can get Starbucks vanilla syrup to use at home? You can buy it online or ask for them at Starbucks (they will usually give me some as long as they have enough in supply). I use this to make sweet cream, cold foam, and vanilla lattes.
Starbucks Vanilla Flavoring Syrup with Pump
Another yummy syrup flavor!
Starbucks Caramel Flavoring Syrup 33.8oz
For a caramel drizzle or topping!
Puremade Caramel Sauce
PSLs at home? Yes please!
