Orange Espresso Float ingredients: 1 shot of strong-brewed instant coffee or espresso, 1 can of sparkling orange soda (Raw Pressery has a great one!), and plenty of ice cubes.
Method:&nbsp; Pack a tall glass tightly with ice. Fill it three-quarters full with the chilled sparkling orange soda. Pour the cooled coffee slowly over the back of a spoon onto the ice so it floats and creates a stunning layered sunset effect. Serve immediately.

Three-minute Maple Cinnamon Latte Ingredients:&nbsp; 2 tsp of good instant coffee powder, 1 tbsp of warm water, 200 ml of milk, 1 tbsp of maple syrup or honey, and a pinch of cinnamon powder.
Method:&nbsp; Whisk the coffee powder, sweetener, and warm water in a mug with a hand frother, or spoon until it turns into a thick, glossy foam. Heat the milk until hot, pour it straight into the mug over the foam, and stir gently. Dust with cinnamon on top.
<h2>Nail the caf&eacute; aesthetics</h2>
Set the table: Keep it casual, this is an apartment caf&eacute;. Style your coffee table like a gorgeous grazing board. Let people wander over, pick up a pastry, and graze at their leisure.
Lean into the vibe: Want to feel like you&rsquo;re running an actual caf&eacute;? Design a quick menu on Canva. Give your dishes slightly tongue-in-cheek caf&eacute; names. Let your friends actually place an order and serve them, caf&eacute;-style. &nbsp;
Set the mood: Turn off harsh overhead tube lights and rely entirely on warm lamps. Play a low-fi jazz or acoustic playlist in the background at a volume that encourages long, lazy conversations.
