Want to save money and reduce waste? Making your own homemade coffee drinks at home is fun and easier than you think!
Making fancy coffee drinks at home is a great way to save money, get creative, and reduce waste. I started getting into making homemade coffee drinks several years ago. At the time we didn’t have any coffee shops in town and I wanted to be able to drink fancy coffee drinks.
I have mostly created frappes but I often enjoy making hot coffee drinks at home as well. It’s really fun to see what you can come up with.
If you want to start making coffee drinks at home I’ve found some amazing coffee recipes you should try. It’s going to be hard to pick which one to start with!
Homemade Coffee Drinks
Vanilla French Press Cappuccino
Iced Maple Syrup Cardamon Coffee
Vietnamese Iced Cold Brew Coffee
Affogato al Caffe (Ice cream with coffee)
Iced Bourbon Salted Caramel Latte
Must-Have Coffee Supplies
There are some supplies that are helpful to have when you want to start making fancy coffee drinks at home. You don’t need a huge espresso maker or anything terribly fancy but these items help a lot.
A blender is also a must for frappes. I just have a normal blender, you don’t need a fancy blender to make great frappes.
I love posting new coffee recipes, if you want to know when I post them be sure to sign up for my newsletter below.

April 10, 2011 at 2:19 pmYou are absolutely right about a French press making the best coffee. We got rid of our coffee maker about a year after we bought the French press because we never used it again.
These coffee drinks sound delicious and we will definitely be giving them a try.

I filter my French press coffee through a canvus coffee filter as I pour each cup so I won't have silt in the bottom of my coffee cup. I drink stonge Cuban stele coffee.

April 11, 2011 at 4:27 amMy first thought when I get up is, how soon can I press my pot of coffee! I had to buy a stainless steel press pot because I broke our glass one when full of hot unpressed coffee– whaaaa! We LOVE a regional roaster, Roos Coffee out of Ann Arbor, fair trade, organic, fresh roasted the day they ship and they use compostable bags. Super yummy and never burnt. http://roosroast.com/
