my must-have latte tools

okayyyy vdop cafe friends ☕️🍵 i finally put together all the little things i use when i’m making lattes for my friends in the morning because some of you have asked 🤎 first of all: THRIFT YOUR ESPRESSO CUPS!!! some of my favorite ones are thrifted and they make every little drink feel so much cuter. also, i’m always on Etsy looking for cute matcha bowls because there are sooo many talented artists making the coolest pieces 🥹 a few other things i use all the time: – matcha whisk, strainer + sp Okay, so the first thing I can show you is my espresso cups. I can also do an espresso cup haul later on. But I thrift a lot of these, and I highly recommend that you thrift all of them because they're inexpensive and they're unique. These frother cups, I sometimes use these to pour espresso shots when I'm doing quad shots on my Ninja, but they're also super useful for cold foam. So I can't recommend them enough. And all of them are from Amazon and they're linked in my storefront bio. Next, a matcha bowl. This one is not that steep, super helpful. I just made it in a pottery class, so that's why I love it. But I totally recommend that you get one that's steeper and bonus points from Etsy. That's homemade as well. These big long mixing spoons, I think they're like bar spoons, but they're helpful for mixing my lattes in the morning. Also linked in my Amazon storefront. Also, matcha tools. I definitely need a better whisk, so if anybody has recommendations, you should let me know what they are. And of course, the strainer. And I do have the wooden spoons, but I just forgot to put them in here. Okay, now I'm super excited about this one because I used it for the first time today. It's a temperature controlled tea, so it's so helpful for not burning it. Um, but it's beautiful. It also is a collab, so it's just so cute. You can see. If you want this one, I also have a code and a link in my bio because it is the best. Now, coffee beans is another question that I get asked a lot about, and George Howell Alchemy beans are my favorite. But I will say that Roasty Buds is a small business in Texas that has really good coffee beans. I love Stump Town, and I also love Fazenda. It's really good. And then if you've been on my page, then you know Planet Oat is the best oat milk. People do say that Chobani extra creamy, not one. I have not really liked that one. Califia also has a barista edition that people love. That one. I love this one, and then full fat also is a favorite. Um, but yeah, but obviously everyone has their own preference, but this one I think makes the creamiest lattes. Now, this is the star of the show and the last one that I wanted to show, which is my handheld frother. It is from Amazon. It's linked in my storefront. It makes the creamiest, fluffiest, thickest cold foam. And the other question I normally get asked is how do I carry all lattes to work? And also, these are some insulated carriers, and they are lifesavers. And this basket is from Amazon. It fits them perfectly. Lastly, of course, I would not be able to make all lattes for friends without my coffee machine. I use the Ninja Lux Cafe for my lattes for friends. Only because it's convenient, fast, and it also pulls quad shots, which is really helpful when I have a bunch of lattes to make. And I also got her off Facebook Marketplace, much cheaper than the original price. And then I also have a Breville, but again, for convenience, this is the one, and I also got her off Facebook Marketplace, much cheaper than the original price.
