It is no secret that I am a coffee LOVER. I can’t/won’t go without it. It’s not the caffine that I live for, it’s the feeling it gives me. I love waking up and having that warm cup in my hand. I love the smell of coffee and the memories it brings me. I’ve been sippping coffee since I was about 13 years old, maybe a bit before. (Don’t judge, I’m Scandinavian. It’s a thing.) My mother owned a coffee shop when I was 13. I was homeschooled during that time and would wake up early in the mornings, around 4:00AM, to open shop with her. Some of my favorite memories were made in that small drive thru coffee shop. It’s where I learned hard work, dedication, and the love of entrepreneurship.

Together my mom and I came up with drink recipes, got to know the “regulars”, and were there rain or shine. I loved that coffee shop. So like I said, the smell of coffee beans brings so much more than a caffine buzz. My mother still dreams of having another coffee shop one day, ran by herself and my siblings, mostly for the memories to be made again.

I’ve put together a little coffee must have for home coffee drinkers. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a coffee shop drive thru for my occasional latte treat! But, it’s nice to have items and tools at home that can jazz up your coffee life.

Nutpods cafe collection // clear coffee mugs // bulletproof coffee // hand held frother // whipped cream dispenser // ember self heating mug // Ninja coffee bar

I love this Ninja coffee bar system! It brews a 10 cup carafe, can do single cup, a single rich cup for the stronger coffee lovers, iced coffee, and has a frother on the side. It’s a great option for a all in one system. I wouldn’t mind having an espresso maker still at home, but this system does the job for me!

I am a nutpod girl. I used to use classic creamer but when I started tracking my macros and doing intermittent fasting, I quickly realized the classic creamers were not going to work for me. Thats when I discovered nutpods. I love the new cafe flavors! If you haven’t tried nutpods, this is the batch you should start with! So yummy.

My kids got me a whipped cream dispenser last Christmas and it’s so fun to whip out. (see what I did there ha) It’s WAY better than any store bought ready made whipped cream, and customizable. I usually add vanilla extract and then a bit of agave. It’s such a treat. Whenever I have guests over and I bring that out, it always wows. It is a great unexpected gift gadgit.

These are just a few of my favorite coffee items! Drop a note, I’d love to hear if you’ve tried any of these things!
