Our Editors Weigh In on Their Go-To Morning Beverage, and What They Use to Make It

"I cannot live without my oat milk matcha latte each morning and have been perfecting my craft ever since I started working from home. This electric gooseneck kettle ($70) and mini whisk ($4) help prepare my matcha powder — I love that both are kitchen staples that can be used for so much more than making my morning drink. Then, I steal my partner's espresso machine ($700), which is already warmed up from making his flat white, to steam the oat milk to add to my matcha. Even though I'm only using the machine for frothing my milk and not making coffee, it helps me create a coffee shop-worthy drink and makes me feel like a professional barista. Now if only I can perfect my latte art!" — Stephanie Nguyen, senior editor
