00:00Here are three ways to up your coffee game and save about a million dollars in the process.
00:05First is the famous brown sugar shaken espresso.
00:08All you need is some instant espresso and a water bottle.
00:11To your water bottle, go in with warm water, about two ounces, and a teaspoon of espresso.
00:16Instant espresso, because let's be honest, who has an espresso machine?
00:19Then go in with two teaspoons of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon, and then you shake.
00:24Pour it right over ice, and then fill the rest of the way with your choice of milk.
00:28Brown sugar, shaken espresso.
00:31Oh, man.
00:32That's as good, if not better, than what you get in a drive-thru, and about 600% cheaper.
00:35This next coffee hack is a secret shared by one of our editors, and it is the Swiss Miss Coffee.
00:40Her grandfather would add about half a pack to his hot coffee, and it's known as a poor man's mocha.
00:45Cheers.
00:47Delightful.
00:47That's quite nice.
00:48I thought it was going to have too much chocolate flavor, but it just kind of sits subtly in the
00:52coffee.
00:53It's a perfect little upgrade to your coffee.
00:55And finally, dress your coffee like you do your waffles.
00:57A little butter, a little maple syrup.
00:59Nothing to be scared of.
01:00All butter is is cream.
01:01Top of the morning.
01:03What's not to love?
01:04The maple flavor is very subtle in the coffee, and the butter just adds this, like, slight richness.
01:09Every one of these hacks is worth trying.
01:11So which one are you going to make first?
01:12First.
