My Morning Coffee Setup

My kitchen coffee bar is my happy place — the hum of the grinder, the smell of fresh espresso, and a quiet moment before the day begins. This is my go-to duo: the Breville Bambino Plus and Smart Grinder Pro — simple to use, easy to love, and the reason my mornings start with café-quality coffee at home.

🌿My Go-To Coffee Beans

The best espresso starts with fresh grounds — and the beans you choose matter just as much as the gear. These are the blends I reach for again and again: smooth, balanced, and roasted to bring out all those cozy, comforting flavors that make every cup feel like a little ritual. ☕
