New York coffee specialist masters the art of recreating Starbucks recipes from home

Friday, December 1, 2023

Amidst the shockwaves from fans as Ben Affleck switches from Dunkin’ Donuts to Starbucks, coffee expert and influencer Jee, the founder of Coffee at Three, is extending a friendly olive branch by offering him some enticing recipes to brew at home and potentially avert coffee-related Armageddon.

Twitter has once again erupted with chatter as the Hollywood star was spotted with a Starbucks cup, sparking accusations of infidelity to Dunkin’. However, Jee, a connoisseur of Starbucks copycat drinks, believes that Affleck’s coffee allegiance can be effortlessly reconciled with just a single click.

Coffee at Three boasts an array of over 100 coffee drink ideas, encompassing favorites like the Starbucks Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso Copycat and Homemade Vietnamese Coffee, alongside seasonal recipes to inspire experimentation in your own kitchen.

Headed by Jee, a seasoned coffee expert and influencer, the platform thrives on crafting enjoyable recipes infused with caffeine to kickstart your day. Formerly a barista, Jee skillfully managed her freelance time to secure certification in Coffee Skills from the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association). She generously shares her wealth of coffee knowledge, acquired through years of training and experience, whether it’s Starbucks copycat recipes or the art of making cold brew at home. Her step-by-step tested recipes, including sugar-free alternatives, are designed to be easily revitalized in your own living space.

Born in Seoul, North Korea, and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Jee’s early fascination with coffee led her to work part-time at a friend’s tea and coffee shop in Manhattan while maintaining her role as a digital designer. Trained not only in crafting espressos but also teas, she perfected her skills in creating bespoke drinks from the menu, including the artful preparation of matcha lattes.

In 2012, after obtaining certification as a Tea Sommelier, Jee initiated a tea blog titled “Oh, How Civilized,” eventually expanding her horizons by launching Coffee at Three.

Considering that approximately 40% of the world’s population indulges in two cups of coffee daily, rising to 65% in the USA and 70% in the UK, coffee stands out as a healthier alternative to other energy drinks. Scientifically proven to enhance mental alertness, brain function, and motivation, coffee serves as the ideal kickstart for a positive morning or an afternoon pick-me-up. Moreover, it provides a perfect excuse for socializing with friends and a means to unwind and relax.
