The idea of having people over for coffee and snacks isn't new.
However, Generation 'Z ers are transforming their ordinary kitchens and living rooms into convenient cafes to save cash.
Many are beginning to embrace making coffee at home while sometimes going the extra mile for ambiance and style.

People aren't just making a regular cup-o-joe but learning to make fun, frothy, over-the-top drinks without the over-the-top price tag they find at cafes.

But it's not just about the beverage. The vibe of a coffee house is essential, so they occasionally have several guests over for coffee, snacks, and a chill hang-out vibe.
My mom always had her pals over on the weekend for coffee and gossip, but she certainly didn't have a menu or pull out the milk frother. She would just place a carton of Half and Half on the table along with a sleeve of cookies.
Either way, I love how this social staple continues to evolve.
