Coffee for Everyone: Life-Affirming Drinks for Morning, Noon, and Night from The Nitro Bar

Start making coffee just the way you like it with over 50 recipes for classic and specialty drinks, plus over 20 flavored syrups, from the founders of the beloved Nitro Bar.

Learning to make your own specialty coffee drinks shouldn’t mean spending your whole grocery budget on single-origin beans or loading up your shelves with tools so niche you’ll forget how to use them. You can make a respectable cup of coffee with just a scale, your brewing method of choice, and some freshly roasted beans. And if you want to have a little fun with it, the possibilities are endless. In Coffee for Everyone, Audrey Finocchiaro and Sam Lancaster, the co-founders of the viral coffee shops, The Nitro Bar, are ready to guide you through some of their most popular drink recipes for everyone to make at home.

First, you’ll learn everything you’ll ever need to know about brewing good coffee: what gear you actually need, every possible way to steam milk (even with just a microwave), and what to look out for when buying a fresh bag of beans. Then you’ll start to understand the difference between Cold Brew and Flash Brew coffee, with foolproof recipes for both. Audrey and Sam walk you through the classic coffee drinks we all know and love as well as recipes for their iconic syrups (blueberry, caramelized banana, and more) and whips (a triple-dairy, cloud-like whipped cream). The drinks are organized by flavor profile so you can easily flip to whatever chapter you’re in the mood for. Feeling fruity? Have a little Strawberry Rhubarb Latte or an Orange Creamsicle Latte. Looking for something a little spiced? Try the Miso Brown Butter Cappuccino or an Apple Pie Latte. And if you’re looking for an afternoon refresher or evening treat, whip up a Honey Rosemary Espresso Tonic or a Caramelized Banana Espresso Martini. The syrups come together in a pinch, with accessible ingredients and a short roster of tools. And with a fridge-life of a few weeks, you’ll be whipping up special little treats whenever the mood strikes.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen up your espresso technique, want to add some new syrups to your repertoire, or want to shake up your evening cocktails, Coffee for Everyone gives you everything you need to make the most delicious cup of coffee at home.
