Visiting a coffee shop is about far more than coffee. There’s something luxurious about sitting back in a warming atmosphere, breathing in the aromas of freshly ground coffee, slowly sipping on a delicious blend without having to worry about washing up or anything else on our to-do lists. When we drink coffee at home, it’s often a quick pick me up or a morning energy boost. It’s rushed, or it’s on the go. It’s not savoured. When we drink coffee in a coffee shop, it’s an experience. It’s a break from life, time away from our worries, and a chance to really enjoy our drink.
What if you could recreate that experience at home? What if those afternoon coffees stopped being a quick drink to keep you going and started being a luxurious experience to enjoy? This could lift your mood, as well as your energy levels, and give you an easy way to switch off and relax. Here’s everything you need to create that luxury experience at home.
Upgrade Your Coffee
You will never enjoy a luxurious coffee experience at home if you are drinking cheap, watery instant coffee. Upgrade to a more sophisticated drink. Check out this online store, they specialize in Kopi Luwak coffee, a smooth and delicious blend without the bitter taste we often find with home coffees, which will tremendously elevate your home coffee.
Then, think about what you enjoy when you drink coffee out of the home and make sure you’ve got what you need to recreate it. This could be flavoured syrups, a milk frother, specific flavours and blends, or different kinds of milk. Don’t be scared to experiment with new flavours at home, but try to stick to quality, and give yourself plenty of options so that there’s always a drink to match your mood.
Learn to Make It
Baristas don’t just turn on a machine and pour milk. They train to be able to make those coffees that you love so much. Getting the right blends and additions is just the first step. From there, you need to learn how to make it, experimenting and learning until you create the perfect cup.
Find a Way to Make it Special
Chances are, even with the best blends and finest flavours, some of your home coffees will still be rushed. You won’t always have the time to savour the experience first thing in the morning. So, when you have time to sit down and really enjoy your coffee, make sure it’s different from those that you grab on the way out of the door in the morning.
You could do this by using different mugs, sitting in a special chair or moving to a quieter area of your home.
Get Comfy
It’s hard to enjoy a luxurious experience if you are sat on an uncomfortable kitchen chair, or standing at the counter next to the coffee machine, even if you are drinking the best coffee in the world.
Comfort is as important as the coffee itself when it comes to creating a more luxurious experience. Adding a comfortable armchair to a quiet area of your home and accessorizing with cushions and blankets can help you to get into the right frame of mind to embrace the luxury and relax.
You might also want to add a table and a bookshelf so that you can snuggle up with a good book while you enjoy your drink of choice.
A luxurious coffee experience at home means that you can always relax and unwind. There’s always a special treat waiting for you when you need it, and you’ve got a great way to entertain friends and family.
