Trying to shake warm espresso directly over delicate ice taught me the hard way: always add plenty of ice to avoid a watery drink.
Switching to barista-style oat milk turned my shaken espresso from thin and ordinary to wonderfully creamy—don’t skip this upgrade if you can find it.

Using freshly ground coffee beans ensures your espresso has optimal flavor—worth the extra minute.
A splash of vanilla extract in the syrup makes each sip feel extra special, like a drink you’d pay triple for at a café.
