Benefits of Having a Home Espresso Bar Setup

• Developing Skills – I’m a student for life, so learning the art of crafting the perfect cup is right up my alley. It’s my top reason for putting together a home espresso setup.
• Saves Money – even though the price is steeper up front, it can save you money in the long run.
• Convenience  – no more lines or driving to your nearest coffee shop. Occasionally, we’ll still go socially and try a new spot in town, but now Caffe a Casa has you covered for your daily cup.
• Have it Your Way – you have more control over the coffee beans, roast levels, grind size, extraction time, and temps, and you can customize it to your taste preferences.
• Morning Routine – can be a cozy and positive way to start your day.

Pro Tip: Before you get set up, you want good-quality coffee beans and clean water. One of my favorite travel souvenirs is to pick up a bag of coffee beans from a local coffee shop (I recently loved this one from Capetown). You can test your water using this water quality test pen.

Best Entry Level Espresso Machine for Beginners

• Gaggia Classic Pro (Beginner-Intermediate) is a sturdy, semi-automatic machine for espresso enthusiasts wanting more hands-on control. I got the GCP because I enjoyed borrowing and toying with my friend’s machine while his kitchen was renovated.
• Breville Barista Express (Beginner) is the most popular home espresso machine and what several of my home barista friends use. It’s easy to clean and maintain and has reliable pressure. The steam wand is easy to maneuver. Depending on how deep you get into your espresso hobby, you may eventually want to upgrade the built-in grinder, which is the weakest part of this machine.
• Breville Bambino Plus (Beginner) – the most approachable, compact, and user-friendly machine. The automatic features make it easy to pull an espresso shot. Unlike the BBE, you need to buy a separate grinder.
• Flair Espresso Maker (Beginner) – great choice for someone on a budget who doesn’t mind manual lever extractions. It can be more time-consuming, but you may love controlling the pressure with your own hands.

Best Home Espresso Grinder for the Home Barista

• Niche Zero Grinder (Intermediate) – This was a splurge for me, but our friends who use it told me it’s worth the investment. It’s one of the first things they upgraded. One major con is that it only ships from the UK, and shipping is expensive, too (add another $50).
• Manual Hand Grinders (Beginner) – 1Zpresso J and the Timemore Manual Hand Grinder are popular hand grinders.
• Baratza Encore Coffee Grinder (Beginner) – user-friendly and reliable entry-level grinder.

Must-Have Tools and Espresso Accessories for the Home Barista

• Tamper – for uniform and effective coffee puck compression. I am using my friend’s LuxHaus Tamper, the best budget tamper. He upgraded to a La Marzocco one, so I got his hand-me-downs.
• Digital Espresso Scale – for precise coffee dosing and timing your espresso shots. This is the one I use. Thinner ones will fit better under your espresso machine. I love the minimalist design and espresso mode, where the timer starts automatically when it senses the first drip of coffee.
• Bottomless Portafilter – If you’re learning, it helps to have visual feedback when extracting coffee. When you’re shopping for one, make sure you have both the correct size and tab style. I learned the hard way when I ordered this pretty 58mm Portafilter with the wrong tabs.
• Coffee Canisters help reduce food waste by preserving your beans’ freshness. It is a must-have for our household since I’m the only one who drinks coffee. I use the Airscape Coffee Canisters. Most airtight storage locks in the air with food. I love their easy-to-use inner plunger lid that pushes out excess air. I’ve also checked out my BIL’s Fellow Canister, which has a sleek design, but the lid mechanism for pushing out air is annoying.
• Milk Pitcher – I mainly use this one to make cortados and cappuccinos. This one feels higher quality than other milk pitchers I’ve tried, and it isn’t much pricier. I also have this 20 oz pitcher with a metal piece that helps vortex the milk. In hindsight, I would go with a regular pitcher since cleaning it is harder.
• Milk Steamer/Frother – for lattes and cappuccinos if your machine does not already have one.

Pro Tip: Order the correct sizes and tab styles for your machine.

Nice-to-Have Home Barista Tools and Equipment List

The order is based on how much they affect my process.

• Puck Screen – it helps distribute water and pressure evenly and keeps the group head clean.
• WDT Tool (Weiss Distribution Technique) – breaks up clumps to make coffee grounds more uniform. You can also use a toothpick/paperclip, but I LOVE this hefty aluminum one by Introvert.
• VST Precision Basket – it’s a popular choice among home and professional baristas for quality, uniformity, and precise hole patterns better than +/- 30 μm. I have the 18 and 20 g ridgeless, the official filter at WBC competitions.
• Espresso Shot Glass Pitcher – I can finally use my drip tray since everything fits under! Also, this is so hefty that I’ll probably use it for life.
• Dosing Funnel – This helps me avoid getting coffee grounds everywhere. I use this one with a magnetic base that clicks onto your portafilter. Recently, my in-laws sent me a Decent Funnel upgrade for my birthday.
• Dosing Cup – My Niche came with the one I use. It gets staticky, which I hear goes away after several uses or with RDT (learn more in tips).
• Bellow – My Niche has a lot of static; I lose up to 0.4 g sometimes. This bellow helps me get to near-zero retention and fits perfectly inside my grinder.
• Jack Leveler/Distributor – sits in your portafilter and spins to create an even surface. Some say it’s aesthetic and doesn’t change much for taste.
• Latte cups – this cup was designed in collaboration with professional baristas from Intelligentsia. I also love this cortado glass for cortados. The weight feels nice, like a whisky glass.
• Low Profile Drip Tray – my regular portafilter, cup, scale, and standard drip tray don’t fit under the GCP. Get a bottomless portafilter or a low-profile drip tray on Etsy to fix that.
• Knock Box – I also don’t mind walking to my compost, but my friend hated watching me do this and ordered this one.

Pro Tip: Pay attention to sizing. With precision baskets, a 58 mm leaves tiny room around the perimeter.

Best Espresso Machine Cleaning Powder and Tools for the home Barista

• Urnex Cafiza Powder – clean coffee oils and residue from your espresso machine. It lasts much longer than the liquid kind.
• Backflush Insert – Use this with your cleaning powder to clean coffee oil and debris buildup.
• Cotton Dish Clothes – I use these cotton dish cloths and Swedish dishcloths to clean up my steam wand and spills.
• Grouphead Cleaning Brush – a multipurpose brush to clean your group head and portafilter.
• Water Softening Filter will keep your espresso machine cleaner by preventing scale buildup.
• Bar Mat – for coffee spills

How to Make Espresso at Home – A Step-by-Step Guide

Once you have quality coffee beans and all the essential espresso equipment, here are the steps to make espresso using an espresso machine.

1. Preheat the espresso machine – Usually about 10-15 minutes. The water temperature must be stable, consistent, and ready to brew.
2. Grind coffee beans – Dialing in the grind size for each coffee may take a few tries. Espressos have a finer grind size.
3. Prepare portafilter – Dose the appropriate amount of coffee (usually 18-20 grams for a double shot) into a clean, dry portafilter.
4. Weiss distribution technique (WDT) is an optional step to break up clumps in your coffee grounds. It can enhance extraction uniformity. You can buy this tool or use a toothpick or paperclip. Some people also use a jack leveler after WDT to further distribute.
5. Tamp the coffee – it needs to be consistent, with level pressure.
6. Insert Portafilter – lock and secure it into the espresso machine’s group head.
7. Start Extraction – hot water is forced through tamped coffee grounds at approximately 9 bars of pressure. Extraction time is typically between 25-30 seconds. Read about temperature surfing here.
8. Monitor the Shot – A well-pulled shot has a steady, dark, rich espresso flow with a golden crema on top.
9. Stop the Extraction at the desired amount of espresso. A typical starting point is a 1:2 coffee-to-water ratio, so for 18 grams of coffee, you aim to extract 36 grams of espresso shot.
10. Serve Immediately – espresso is best enjoyed immediately in a demitasse cup. Or add water or milk first, depending on the type of coffee drink you’re making.

Achieving the perfect espresso shot takes a combination of precise steps, practice, and experimentation. I write down the dose, grind size, and extraction time while dialing in my settings.

Essential Tips for Your Home Espresso Setup

• Practice, practice, practice – there are many variables, and one of the firsts to master is consistent tamping.
• Experiment with grind size and dose – even though there’s a rule of thumb for extraction times and coffee-to-water ratio, you may find something you like by breaking the rules.
• RDT (Ross Droplet Technique) – Some add water to their grounds to eliminate static in the grinder and dosing cup. Niche does not recommend RDT unless it’s a small amount of water. Instead, some use a wooden skewer on this Reddit thread.
• Temperature Surfing on the Gaggia Classic Pro – “Once you heat your espresso machine, it will oscillate between 184-209 degrees F (84.8-98.5 C). Flush the group head until the light turns off. Once the light turns back on, wait 10 seconds, switch on the steam wand for 5 seconds, then switch it off. – Lance Hedrick 
• Poor Man’s Pre-infusion – this can “heal” some puck prep imperfections. Don’t turn on the steam, but open the steamer knob about ⅛ to shoot out hot water (have something ready to catch it). 8-10 secs pre-infusion, then close the steam knob and brew like normal. – Tip from Reddit 
• The Aerocano is a fun “nitro brew”  to experiment with your espresso machine.
• Keep your equipment clean to not affect the taste of future espresso shots.

Best Gifts for Coffee Lovers

• Coffee – My favorite travel souvenirs for friends and family are consumables. This includes coffee; luckily, many places sell beans online if you run out of luggage space. Recently, I’ve been making coffee from Caribbrew. Did you know Haiti used to be a major coffee producer until the 1960s? Beverly, a Haitian American and founder of Caribbrew, partners with farmers in Haiti to create sustainable jobs with fair wages.
• Coffee Subscription – I’ve only tried Atlas Coffee Club (they also have a tea subscription). Atlas sends you coffee from around the globe. There are a few others I will check out and let you know how they go. With any subscription, you’ll get some coffee you love and some you don’t.
• Cometeer – these flash-frozen coffee capsules from the best roasters in the country come in recyclable aluminum pods. They are great when you feel lazy but still crave delicious coffee. All you have to do is thaw and mix with water or milk. Get $20 off your first subscription. My coffee-lover friends mention how it tastes sometimes better than their coffee.
• Demitasse Cups and Latte Cups
• Final Press – The Final Press (pictures below) lets you make coffee or tea without filters or pods all in a portable, easy-to-clean device. It’s kind of like a mini french press. Final Press Coupon Code: Use code LOCALADVENTURER for 10% off.
• Tamp Station – includes a knock box and slots to organize your tools. Not everyone likes having it all together.
• Gooseneck Electric Kettle – The Fellow Stagg is a splurge, the Bodum kettle is affordable, and there are plenty of mid-range kettles with temperature control.
• Barista Classes – You can learn anything from making better espresso to pouring latte art.
• Expresso Accessories can go from affordable to extra bougie, so you can decide what upgrade they get.

TLDR

Best Language Apps – No app does it all. It depends on your learning style, goals, and which language you want to learn. Overall, our favorite apps are Duolingo (most fun), Teuida (for speaking), and Drops (for vocabulary).

What are the Best language apps for travel? Conclusion

No single app above can get you to complete fluency or will give you passing grades in language proficiency exams. However, you can use a combination of these apps to get by for travel.

We recommend starting with the free versions of Duolingo, Teuida, Busuu, Drops, and Memrise. If you have used one of these apps consistently for over a month and enjoy it, it’s worth splurging on the premium version. For example, I used the free version of Drops for six months before paying for Drops Premium.

When you’re serious about speaking a language, Pimsleur had the most listening and speaking practice, giving me the most confidence during conversations. Lately, I’ve mainly been using Pimsleur to learn conversational skills, Duolingo and Drops to keep my streak going, and Busuu because the community is so supportive and active.

I’m also still testing out a few more apps, which I will add later!

Which of these are the best language apps for travel for you? Which language apps have you tried?
