DIY Espresso

The DIY Espresso Drink Project

Let’s face it – a lot of us run on coffee. It gets expensive though, especially if your daily drink is a grande triple caramel latte, really anything beyond your regular joe. At $3 to $5 a pop, you’ll be shelling out well over a $1,000 every year. Yikes. This site will teach you how to take the DIY (Do It Yourself) approach, saving significant time and money achieving better-than-the-coffee-shop results. Just don't be surprised if family and friends start knocking on your door in the mornings and calling you barista. They mean well.

I’m just a regular guy who was spending way too much moolah on fancy coffee. I received a breville barista express machine for a Christmas gift and decided to spend some time learning the right way to make all of my favorite drinks. Turns out, it’s really fun and surprisingly easy.

The videos are all shot in my home kitchen. Nothing fancy. The only compensation I receive is through some affiliate links throughout the site. If you decide to buy one of the products that I recommend, please click through one of the links on this site on your way to checkout. No one is paying me to promote their product, but I make recommendations based on my research and experience. I’m a web designer by trade, and this is a personal project - just for fun.
