There’s nothing like that first cup of coffee in the morning. Especially with two young kids, coffee is essential! We recently invested in an espresso machine, and while I’m still figuring out how to not burn the milk, it’s fun to play barista before the day begins. If you’ve been thinking about taking your at-home coffee a little more seriously, here are a few simple ways to make your morning cup taste better.
1. You Don’t Need Fancy Gear to Start
It’s easy to assume great coffee requires expensive equipment, but you don’t need to drop a paycheck on a machine with twelve settings and a steam wand. A French press, AeroPress, or Chemex can do wonders. They’re simple, reliable, and used by actual pros. You can use them, too.
