Being a mum comes with many caveats; running on little sleep, endless to do lists, and having long tiring days. However, there is one ritual that is solely for you: coffee. Sometimes getting a coffee from your local café is not always practical, but with a few clever coffee hacks, you can enjoy barista coffee at home in seconds!
Here at Presto Coffee, we believe that every mum deserves coffee that feels a little luxury, no matter how busy mornings can be. Here are our top hacks to be your own barista!
1. Start with Quality Coffee
A pillar of great coffee is the coffee itself. Many blends often lose freshness quickly, leaving you with a flat taste. Prestos instant coffee and coffee bags are made from high quality beans, air roasted to perfection and are designed to deliver café level flavour within seconds.
Hack: Keep presto coffee bags in your handbag or changing bag. They can be brewed anywhere with some hot water for a barista style cup.
2. Froth Your Milk Without a Machine
Think you need an espresso machine for that creamy, frothy finish? Think again!
- Pour warm milk into a French press, pump up and down to get frothy milk in 30 seconds (read more about it here)
- Or pop milk in a jar, microwave for 30 seconds, screw the lid on and then shake until frothy. (read more about this here)
Hack: Add this to your Presto Coffee, and you’ve got yourself a homemade latte to rival your favourite café.
3. Make an Iced Latte in Seconds.
Sometimes a refreshing iced coffee is exactly what a busy morning calls for.
- Fill a glass with ice.
- Add your preferred brew of Presto Coffee.
- Add a splash of milk or cream for a latte vibe.
Hack: Sweeten with honey or vanilla extract for a boost of flavour without the sugar crash.

4. Upgrade Your Coffee with Simple Flavour Boosts.
While baristas often rely on various syrups and powders, you can achieve similar results with simple staples you may have at home.
- Sprinkle some cinnamon or cocoa powder into your cup before pouring your brew.
- Add a drop of vanilla essence for a café-style twist.
- A tiny pinch of sea salt in iced coffee can bring out notes of caramel.
Hack: These little extras can turn a standard coffee into a café style treat, with zero extra time.
5. Batch Prep Like a Pro
If your mornings are a blur, batch prep your brew in advance. #
- Brew a pot of strong Presto Coffee without milk.
- Wait for the coffee to cool down.
- Pour into ice cube trays and freeze.
- Pop a few cubes into a glass of milk to make an iced coffee that won’t water down.
Hack: Keep a jug of ready to drink cold brew in the fridge; you will always have a barista quality pick me up ready to go.
