Skip the line, keep the ritual. The Home Barista Playbook breaks down the 30 drinks you’d normally order at a specialty coffee shop into exact, no-fluff recipes you can pull off on your own counter — no apron required.

This isn’t a vague “add milk to taste” recipe card. It’s a real technique guide: the same ratios, timing, and steps baristas use behind the bar, laid out so you can actually repeat them at home, every single time. From a clean Espresso and a silky Cortado, to Cappuccino, Flat White, Caramel Macchiato, Cold Brew, Nitro Cold Brew, Turkish Coffee, and 22 more — all 30 drinks are covered, sorted into four categories: Espresso Pure, Milk & Foam Classics, Iced & Cold Brew, and Specialty & World.

Every recipe includes:
• Exact ingredients and ratios
• Numbered, step-by-step method
• Difficulty rating, flavor profile, and time to make
• The equipment it actually calls for (and what you can skip)
• A barista pro tip that saves you the trial and error
• A full-color illustrated guide for every single drink

Built for guys building out a home coffee setup — whether that’s a $40 Moka pot or a full espresso machine on the counter. No machine yet? Start with Café au Lait, Cold Brew, or Turkish Coffee. Already have one? Work through the list in order; the drinks build in skill the same way a barista’s training does, one shot at a time.

30 drinks. One playbook. Your bar is officially open.
