2. Coffee Capsule Holder

   • Keep your Nespresso capsules organized and easily accessible with a coffee capsule holder. There are various designs available, from wall-mounted to countertop options.

3. Double-Walled Glass Cups

   • These cups not only look great, but they also keep your drink at the perfect temperature. Plus, the double-walled design prevents condensation from forming on the outside of the cup.

5. Flavored Syrups

   • Add a touch of sweetness and flavor to your Nespresso drinks with flavored coffee syrups. Vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut are some of the popular options. But you can definitely find all sorts of other flavors at your local grocery store or even on Amazon. I stock up on vanilla and mocha because they are a staple for many simple drinks. If you really want to get fancy, you can even purchase these pretty syrup dispensers for your coffee bar as well.

6. Stainless Steel Whisk

   • Use a battery-operated stainless steel whisk to mix your milk and flavored syrups into your Nespresso drinks for a smooth and creamy texture. This is a great option if you don’t want to splurge on the official Aeroccino right away, as these are sold for a fraction of the price.

7. Sugar Shaker

   • A sugar shaker is perfect for adding a sprinkle of sugar or cocoa powder to the top of your Nespresso drinks for an extra touch of sweetness. This is also great if you want to use it for sprinkling brown sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon or whatever toppings your heart desires!
