Make Your Own Starbucks Drinks

They knew me by name at the Starbucks closest to my home. But not anymore...

I quit buying Starbucks coffee because it was becoming a strain on my budget.

But along the way, I've realized there are certain perks besides that to making your own coffee.

Learning how to make your own Starbucks Drinks can be good for you! How?

1) I have a routine in the morning that actually makes me look forward to waking up. By the time I've made my coffee, I'm ready to tackle the day. This sure beats sitting in your car sleepily, waiting for your coffee to be brought to you.

2) I've learned to appreciate the drinks more. I know how they're made, how much difference little details make, and how to make them better.

3) You can make it exactly how you want it. If you're order sounds something like "a non-fat soy milk grande vanilla latte with extra whipped cream and extra foam. Also, please make it extra hot and give me an extra shot of vanilla" then chances are you've had your order messed up. When you learn how to make your own Starbucks drinks at home, you can bypass all of that.

4) It really does save money! I got an incredibly amazing but expensive espresso maker (see below, I'm a huge fan) and in spite of that, I've still saved money.

Hope you learn something here and I sincerely hope that you will consider making your own Starbucks drinks at home at least one time.
