Look, no matter what year, day or time of the week it is, coffee (or as of recently, matcha) will always be at the top of our priority list. And lately we have become o b s e s s e d with creating our own specialty brews at home. If you have been with us for a while, you would know that we are huge fans of presentation, and just as there are so many different types of coffee, the multiple ways to prepare coffee is just as versatile. Let’s also not forget the endless amounts of glassware to choose from. But don’t worry, we have you covered. For those who need an extra shot of encouragement to swap out that Starbucks for an at home brew (made by you), we have asked coffee savant, Ashley Piowlski — a.k.a. Ashley Heather — to round up her 8 game-changing essentials for creating that perfect drink right from your very own kitchen.
