Coffee doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are our favourite tips for brewing, straight from our coffee pro's.
1. Use freshly ground coffee, not pre-ground
2. Measure your ground coffee, guessing changes the flavour every time
3. Your water matters more than most people realise (filtered water is best!)
4. Match your grind size to your brew method
5. Use a simple brew ratio, 1:2 is a great starting point (20g coffee to 40ml espresso)
6. Pourover? Let your coffee bloom for about 30 seconds
7. Brew with water around 92–96°C
8. Clean your gear regularly, old oils ruin flavour
9. If it tastes bitter, grind coarser
10. If it tastes sour, grind finer
Great coffee at home isn’t as complicated as it can seem, follow these small habits and you’ll be set.
