Begin making and sharing your concoctions, and who knows what will happen? People might start paying you $7 for their next caffeinated pick-me-up. But before you set up a drive-thru at your front door, here are the products you need to make Starbucks drinks at home.

When it comes to creating your own fancy coffee drinks, an espresso machine is kind of a must — especially for beverages like lattes and cappuccinos. Thankfully, though, you don’t need to spend a fortune to buy one (though you can splurge on high end brands like De’Longhi or Breville).

If you’re someone who likes to tack on an extra boost to your morning coffee, this can do it. Plus, it comes with a frothing pitcher and wand to get that full Starbucks experience without having to buy a separate tool.

2. Syrup Dispensers

Those signature Starbucks flavors, though, can easily be brought into your home with DIY syrups or store-bought options. But when it comes time to display them on your coffee bar, they’re not always the most aesthetic products. That’s where these dispensers come into play.

These beauties are designed to be front and center with their gold pumps and glass bases. Plus, they come with pre-crafted labels as well as blanks ones, so you can place whatever your favorite flavor is inside. Simply add your DIY coffee syrup or store-bought favorite, and it’ll feel just like a coffeeshop.

4. Cold Brew Maker

5. Coffee Bean Grinder

Speaking of putting coffee grounds into a cold brew maker, you might want to consider making your own grounds. Fresh coffee grounds are known to be more flavorful, and you can customize how coarse or fine you want your grind. This way your grounds can be a perfect fit for whatever type of machine you’re using to brew. Whether you’re planning to make a flavored drip coffee or want to craft cold brew, your own grounds give you even more control over flavor.

Not all of us have iced coffee machines or the time to wait for coffee to cool down. That’s where the HyperChiller comes in handy.

You can pour coffee up to 205 degrees Fahrenheit into the Hyperchiller. Swirl it for 60 seconds, and you’ll have instant iced coffee. All you have to do is remember to fill it with water and place it in the freezer. As long as the chiller is frozen, you’ll be able to have instant iced coffee.

Not all drinks require a milk frother, but lattes and macchiatos often do. Luckily, you can pick up an efficient milk frother on a budget.

If you’re not ready to commit to an full espresso maker but still want delicious frothy toppings or to make your own Starbucks cold foam, this frother is the way to go. With intense speeds, it can have your milk frothed in 20 seconds, and it’s even dual use. Yes, it can get your milk all creamy and bubbly, but it can also whisk eggs, help you create whipped cream and craft smooth sauces. Not bad, right?

9. Iced Coffee Glasses

10. Whipped Cream Dispenser

11. Reusable Straws
