3 Ways To Master Coffee At Home

master your perfect brew at home; how to spike it and must-have tools.

I am admittedly coffee-obsessed. Friends think it’s odd that I prefer coffee at home over a coffee shop—until I make them one. The hardest part of traveling for me? Missing my favorite part of the day: waking up and enjoying a perfectly made cup in my own space. I consider it cruel and unusual punishment to have to get fully dressed, venture out, and interact with strangers just for a great coffee in the morning.

Given the sheer number of coffee shops worldwide, I know I’m not alone in this obsession. If you’re looking to save anywhere from $780–$2,184 per year on your daily coffee habit (and let’s be real, most of us drink more than one cup a day—that’s a lot of money), I’m sharing my years of research on the best ways to make coffee at home.
