7 Coffee Hacks That Will Instantly Improve Your Morning

If you're tired of the usual coffee, you're not alone! That's why I did the research on how you can make coffee better and even better tasting for great mornings ahead. Here are the top seven ones I recommend:

  1. Make Iced Coffees More Interesting

Are you a huge fan of iced coffee, too? If you like having your coffee iced in the morning, then try something new instead of the usual coffee over ice.

Some ideas include having iced coffee popsicles by sticking popsicle molds filled with an iced coffee in the freezer. Or, you can have coffee ice cubes instead, placing these coffee cubes in a glass and pouring milk over it. That way, your coffee stays rich without watering over.

  1. Try Bulletproof Coffee Instead

Bulletproof is now becoming a popular drink known for its added health benefits. It's one of the drinks people have when on a low-carb or keto diet, using butter or oils as a replacement to sugar and creamer. I recommend that you use equal parts cow's butter and coconut oil to your black coffee instead of sugar, which offers a lot of nutrients and the large amount of energy you need without the sugar crash.

  1. Make Your Own Flavored Syrups

Sometimes, using the same old flavored syrups is so boring. Let's not stick to a routine and start creating our own syrups, which would have fewer preservatives because you're in charge of what you put inside it! Making your own flavored syrups only take simple ingredients and a few minutes to cook. Choose between caramel, vanilla, or even pumpkin spice, which has you save a ton of money!

  1. Enhance Your Coffee's Flavors

Add a bit of sweetness with spices like cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg to your beans. Go all out and experiment with what works for you! And just so you know, salt removes the bitterness of your coffee.

  1. Cold Brew From Your Blender or Aeropress

Did you know that you can make a cold brew from your blender or Aeropress? You can use the blender as a grinder and a brewing vessel, which produces the delicious cold brew when leaving it in the fridge for up to 12 hours.

You can also make a cold brew with your Aeropress with the help of a water bottle and your jar!  You'll be surprised by how you can make a cold brew without the usual expensive equipment.

  1. Roast Coffee In a Popcorn Maker

This is such an interesting hack that has you learn more about coffee. Try using green coffee beans in your popcorn maker, which would pop and crackle as it goes through the roasting process. It rotates and heats the beans completely, similar to coffee roasters. As a result, you get even richer flavors from your coffee compared to grinding it in your coffee maker without any roasting process.

  1. Make Espresso Shots and Lattes With a French Press

If you don't have an espresso machine, you can make shots with a French Press. Just grind the espresso beans finely and pour only enough water to submerge the grounds, and that's it!

You can also make a latte from the French Press. All you need to do is pour warm milk in your French Press and move the plunger up and down for a few minutes quickly. This creates a rich texture that combines well with the espresso.

Sum up

Coffee is very beneficial for energy and other health benefits, but it does get boring having the same mix every day of the week. That's why it's time to make a change and learn all about what else you can do with coffee other than the usual cappuccino and latte. This help explore the endless possibilities coffee has to offer and as you enjoy your daily cup more!
