MATCHA vs. Coffee

You guys have been asking about my new coffee setup, so I figured it would be the perfect time to share and give my honest take on where I stand with coffee vs. matcha right now.

Matcha has been my thing for years, and that’s still true. But I got a new espresso machine recently, and it has genuinely changed my mornings. It makes the kind of coffee I used to only get at a café (for $12!), and having that just sitting on my counter every day? Hard to say no. I’ve also just been craving that extra caffeine lately. Some mornings my body asks for it and I’ve stopped arguing.

So I’ve been loving both, depending on the day. Here’s the situation, depending on my mood. 

My coffee situation
I used to think café coffee was a treat, but now it’s just my norm. Here’s everything that I use:
+ Espresso machine
+ Coffee bean holder
+ Small glass pitcher
+ Espresso cup
+ The best vanilla syrup

My matcha setup
Paul exclusively drinks matcha, so even when I’m not, I’m making it daily. Here are my matcha favorites and my everyday matcha recipe (& holiday edition):
+ Pique matcha
+ Matcha whisk set
+ Glass cups
