How to Buy Gourmet Coffee Ingredients

Video Transcript

SIMEON LOWE: Hi, my name is Simeon Lowe on behalf of Expert Village. Today, we are going to learn how to make gourmet coffee in your home. Okay, you're probably wondering where do I get all these goodies. So in this clip, I'm going to tell you where to pick up all the stuff and how much roughly should it cost you to make all these drinks that I've been showing you. First off, you want to get the espresso. I would suggest going to--you can go to, like, probably your local grocery stores or supermarket or whatever. But I would suggest to get like a Starbucks brand or a Biggby's brand of espresso because that's going to make your best-tasting espresso. Also for the monins, you can normally pick these up if you have, like, a local, like, coffee shop in the area. You can go to Starbucks. I know, you can go to Biggby's. You could pick up these at the shop specifically. Say you like have a favorite drink there that you want to make, you can go pick up the monin there. Actually with the chocolate, you're not going to be able to find that at most--just in supermarkets. So if you can't find it, one thing you could do is melt down chocolate of your own like Hershey's or whatever and that will actually make it. Just make it on a stove, melt it down and then you can put that in your drink. Milk, you can just get that at a store. Also, the whip cream, you can just pick that up in the dairy section at your local grocery store. Other than that, you should be set. I mean, what else do you need? You got the espresso. You have the milk. You have the whip cream and then you have the flavor, and that's what's going to make your latte. This espresso machine, I believe, was purchased at Target, and so you can pretty much pick up one anywhere. If you're looking for a real nice espresso machine, you're going to be spending big bucks. But something like this will probably run you anywhere from $50 to $100. The better the espresso machine though, the better shots of espresso that you're going to get. So if you're looking to make the best cup of coffee in town, you might want to spend the extra buck and put it up for that. The thin syrups are over here, the ones that you would be picking up at the grocery store or at a local coffee establishment. They're going to run you roughly $5 to $8 per bottle. The thick stuff, if you're going to get a big bottle like this, it should last you either one heck of a party or a year of making coffee. So those are going to run you a little bit more anywhere from $12 to $18 depending on what you get. So whatever your price range is you can normally make it work. You could get a cheap espresso machine, milk and one of these and you should be set.
