Espresso Brew Guide:
Espresso is a staple in the coffee-making world. Thick and syrupy with a bubbly crema, they are the height of Italian sophistication.
Let’s get a bit technical with espresso. We recommend starting with a ratio of 1 part coffee to 2 parts water. But here’s the beauty of it- if this ratio is too strong or too weak for your taste, feel free to adjust it. The key is to brew it to your liking, so don’t be afraid to experiment until you find your perfect cup!
Moka Pot/Stovetop Brew Guide:
Love a rich and syrupy coffee? The Moka pot is your best friend. It’s just like a pressure cooker for coffee, and it’s super easy and quick to use!
It isn’t easy to get a techy with a Moka pot. The water container and basket sizes can vary from model to model, so it might take a bit of trial and error to get it just right. But once you figure it out, you’ll be brewing great coffee consistently with this coffee maker.
AeroPress Brew Guide:
The AeroPress may not look like your typical coffee maker, but it’s quickly becoming a favourite among coffee enthusiasts. It’s perfect for brewing rich and delicious coffee!
If you want to get a little technical, a good place to start for making coffee with an Aeropress is using a ratio of 1 part coffee to 16 parts water. If that’s too strong or too weak for your taste, feel free to adjust the ratio to suit your preferences. The most important thing is that you enjoy your coffee, so make it just the way you like it!
Cafetiere Brew Guide:
Coffee/Water Ratio of 1:20 is a great starter.
Also known as a French Press, this device is praised for being the easiest way to brew delicious coffee with a full flavour.
If you’re into the technical stuff, a good starting point for your coffee ratio is 1 part coffee to 20 parts water. But remember, if that’s too strong or weak for you, adjust the ratio to your liking. You’re the one drinking it, after all!
Filter Brew Guide:
You will find multiple filter brewing devices out there, but our favourite is the V60 or Chemex.
Start with 1 part coffee to 16 parts water, but feel free to adjust the ratio to suit your taste. The most important thing is that you enjoy your coffee, so make it just the way you like it!
Now that you’ve mastered the art of brewing, it’s time to find the perfect coffee! Our subscription service ensures you never run low on coffee again, plus you’ll receive freebies and goodies along the way.
