26 At-Home Barista Necessities

As professional-level espresso equipment for the home becomes more accessible to the average consumer, newly minted at-home baristas are looking for unique options flavoring lattes, cold brew and other caffeinated beverages. From cocktail syrup repurposed to spice up a morning coffee to agave-based alternative sweeteners, there are plenty of options regardless of one's taste preferences.

Additionally, consumers are turning to dairy alternatives in order to cut out unnecessary calories, such as flavored almond and nut milks and nut-based butters. Turning to everything from cocktail syrups to health-conscious root vegetable sweeteners, there are lots of creative options for the at-home barista that venture beyond cream and sugar.
