Unless you are truly a coffee aficionado, go ahead and buy the beans already ground or have them ground in-store. I grind them between the fine and medium setting (espresso beans are usually ground fine but for the Moka Express it is best if they are a little more coarse). If your espresso beans are not already ground, use a grinder to grind your beans. For a truly authentic experience, you can purchase Starbucks espresso beans in store or in Target. You will need to buy your own espresso beans. Honey simple syrup (or classic simple syrup)Ī way to make espresso (we have a Nespresso and a Moka Express)Ī strainer (if your shaker does not have a lid with a strainer)Ī glass to pour all the espresso shots into (I have this measuring cup which lots of you asked about) So, here we are! Homemade Starbucks Doubleshotįriendly reminder, there are affiliate links in this post. Bonus: time in the car = time to listen to playlists or vox friends!īut many of the Starbucks stores around us are closed completely and I am not venturing out of my house much these days.
Part of the treat of this drink was getting into my car, going through the drive-thru, and enjoying that someone else was making my coffee (I make my coffee every other morning!).
The classic syrup is the perfect addition to bring everything together. This drink is creamy but still has the robust flavor of espresso to make me feel awake and energized. If I’m feeling extra, I level up: Venti Iced Starbucks Doubleshot.
