Be Your Own Barista at Home With a Touch of a Button

With the current situation happening to everyone in the country, it’s hard to keep our sanity while staying at home. Keeping your mind clear from worries is near to impossible when you don’t know what the future holds or what will happen next. Everyone is leaning to a hobby or discovery like being a plantita and plantito. For those who are still working at the comfort of their home, the ultimate relaxation that they can get is through sipping a hot cup of freshly made coffee. Most people depend on coffee to relieve themselves of stress. And just like everyone else, even successful personalities and entrepreneurs need to unwind and relax from the chaos happening around us.

To help more people level up their coffee-making skills at home, Nespresso held its first-ever At-Home Virtual Cafe to launch the Be Your Own Barista campaign, which aims to inspire coffee lovers to indulge in Nespresso moments through easy café-quality coffee. The event was hosted by Chico Garcia along with other at-home baristas, such as entrepreneur, Nico Bolzico, co-founder of Sunnies Studios, Bea Soriano-Dee, and private dining chef and restaurateur, Happy Ongpauco-Tiu. 

For Bea Soriano-Dee, running a business during this pandemic while staying at home could be crazy and her routine changed with the so-called “new normal”. If before, it is all hustle and bustle for her, now, she makes sure to slow down and focus on setting a mindset for the day. If there’s an activity that she has to do every single day to keep her mind focused and relaxed, she said that it is reading a book with a cup of coffee.

Bea loves her coffee to be milk-based. Although she cannot go out to buy a barista-made one, she makes sure to achieve delicious and milky coffee with her Nespresso Lattissima Touch machine. With one touch of a button, her Macchiato with Ispirazione Arpeggio Firenze with a touch of cinnamon is now ready in just one minute!

Those who take their coffee seriously should take a cue from Nico Bolzico on how he creates his barista-quality coffee. Nico, being stuck at home is happy to spend time with his two favorites: his daughter Thylane and his Nespresso New Citiz machine, Rebecca. For everyone’s favorite funny guy, he makes sure to never let the morning pass without sitting outside their garden to meditate for 10-15 minutes. This keeps his mind relaxed and focused for the day ahead. Of course, he never forgets to spend a short time with Rebecca too. He partnered his coffee maker with Aeroccino 3 to make his favorite frothy cappuccino. His Argentinian roots love the flavor of Ispirazione Venezia making this his go-to flavor when making his coffee drink.

On the other hand, Happy Ongpauco-Tiu faces every day with a fast-paced morning. Homeschooling her children while managing the household is no easy feat for this successful mompreneur. Although it gets quite busy in her home, she never fails to be grateful for the time she spends with her family. During downtimes, Happy loves to treat herself with a combination of Vanilla Éclair and Caramel Crème Brulee which is made with her Nespresso Pixie machine. Happy does make a happy cup of coffee with an addition of sugar, chocolate powder, and whipped cream.

Chico, on the other hand, enjoys spending his time with his three cats and five dogs when he’s done hosting his radio show. He loves making a cup of Iced Coffee with the Nespresso New Citiz machine and limited edition Freddo Intenso. Since he cannot travel the world for now due to the pandemic, he relieves his favorite iced coffee by making his creation extra special with a scoop of heavenly vanilla ice cream. Talk about instant international barista #NespressoMoment right in the comfort of his home!

If there’s anything common from these four personalities, it is their love for Nespresso coffee machines. They are happy with how Nespresso solves their café cravings especially now that they cannot go out of their homes.

Bea loves her coffee shop runs but since she is staying at home, she’s glad that Nespresso is simple to use to recreate her go-to coffee blend without compromising her favorite drink’s quality. Happy, on the other hand, love how Nespresso is easy to bring around her house through her coffee cart. What Nico emphasized in the virtual event is how he loves that Nespresso recycles their pods. Using Nespresso’s coffee pods could produce a lot of waste which is harmful to the environment. Thankfully, their team created a solution that will solve this issue. All you have to do is collect all the Nespresso pods that you have used and give it to their staff once they deliver your online orders. You can also bring your used pods to their Rockwell Boutique or pop up stores around the metro.

You can choose from Nespresso’s wide array of flavors and accessories without any hassle. Hardcore coffee lovers can enjoy personalized coffee that they can mix and match and call their own. If you want to feel a sensorial experience and have a stylish machine that screams simplicity and elegance at your own home, Nespresso is the way to go. With just a touch of a button, you can smell the rich aroma of coffee and savor your perfect cup.
