Be your own barista with these recipes

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NESCAFÉ

Coffee is comforting. We seek it in the morning or when we need a little more energy to get through the day. These days though, getting our fix is a little bit harder than it used to be.

But should that stop us from getting our coffee fix ourselves? A big no. As a strong, independent coffee-loving individual, you should be able to create your café favorites yourself (with our help, of course).

Here’s how you can make your café faves without sacrificing quality. Trust and believe, you wouldn’t need a barista to work magic in your kitchen. All you need is a jar of NESCAFÉ GOLD, a few recipes and the can-do attitude to follow some easy instructions.

With these recipes, we’re creating our fave coffees in the comfort of our homes, while wearing sweats. It’s everything we’re missing from the outside world, now made drinkable.
