Ingredients
One pantry, many drinks. The same organic cane sugar feeds your kombucha and your soda syrup; the same bag of beans pulls espresso and steeps cold brew. These are the ingredients we'd buy, organic or clean-label first, with a cheaper pick alongside in most categories. Each one is priced per drink.
Pick a drink to keep only what it uses. Every pick shows its cost per serving for that drink.
Coffee beans
Whole-bean coffee by the bag. Grind it fine for espresso or coarse for cold brew.
