Ever feel like you’re missing out on all the coffee fun just because you’re skipping sugar? This past month or so, I’ve been knee-deep in syrup testing. I mean, bottles everywhere, sticky notes all over my counter, and plenty of taste-testing “research” for Coffee Voilà. But somewhere along the way, I realized I was overlooking…
A few weeks back, I put together a full guide on how to make the classic recipe with sugar, and it was a hit. But I haven’t forgotten about the folks who either can’t have sugar or don’t want the crash that comes with it. I get it! Sometimes you want all that warm, fragrant…
Have you ever wished your morning coffee tasted like it came straight from a café? One of the brands that’s never let me down is Torani, for so many reasons. I still remember the first time I tried their caramel syrup in a homemade latte. It was like flipping a switch from “just coffee” to…
Anaerobic Coffee surprised the heck out of me the first time I tried it. I was reading a post online about experimental coffee processing methods when someone mentioned a brand called September Coffee Co. and how wild their flavors were. I was looking for something different, something that didn’t taste like my usual medium roast…
Struggling to sweeten cold drinks without the gritty mess? I’ve been there. So let’s talk about the most basic fix—simple syrup. It’s one of those kitchen staples that seems fancy until you try it. And then you’re like… wait, that’s it? The first time I decided to make simple syrup at home, I was shocked…
Ever wondered if you should be using syrup or sauce in your coffee? You’re not alone! These two flavoring agents often sit side-by-side in cafés and pantries, yet they serve very different purposes. Syrups are smooth, sweet, and mix effortlessly into cold drinks. Sauces, on the other hand, are thicker, richer, and perfect for hot…
Struggling to sweeten your drinks without sugar? You’re not alone. This month, I’ve been deep in syrup mode testing, tweaking, and even putting together a full guide on 11 Homemade Coffee Syrup Recipes. But somewhere between the brown sugar and caramel experiments, I realized… not everyone wants or can have sugar in their cup. Perhaps,…
Love pumpkin spice season but tired of overpriced café drinks and mystery ingredients? I used to mostly buy my syrups and honestly, I still do sometimes when I’m feeling lazy or need a quick fix. You have brands like Monin and Torani that have their place (that Monin Pumpkin Spice is solid). However, when I’ve…
Are you tired of your usual coffee routine? I get it. Lately, I’ve been going nuts testing all sorts of coffee recipes. I’ve been trying to break out of the same old cappuccino loop. One that caught my eye (and palate) was spiced Moroccan coffee. A barista friend brewed me a cup at his place,…
I tried bulletproof coffee a few times. I kinda enjoyed it, especially on those sluggish mornings when I needed something richer. But lately, I found something even better: the brown butter latte. It’s like the cousin of bulletproof coffee, but with more depth, flavor, and that irresistible toasted aroma. If you’re into smooth, nutty drinks…
