3 Tiny Tweaks for Coffee That Tastes Like a Café Made It

Making great coffee at home does not require fancy equipment (though I definitely love a good gadget and, full disclosure, I have more coffee gear than I really need in my kitchen). It is really about a few simple adjustments and little details that can turn a “good” cup into a great one, one that makes you do the happy dance right in your kitchen.

Here are 3 pro-approved tweaks you can try today:

1. Measure like a pro
Eyeballing scoops is a gamble. A kitchen scale is your secret weapon, it makes a big difference. Aim for about 15g of coffee for every 250ml of water. This balance keeps your cup from being too weak or too bitter. Once you’ve nailed it, tweak the ratio if you like it a little stronger.

2. Preheat your mug
Pour a little hot water into your mug before brewing. It keeps your coffee hotter for longer, which means every sip stays as good as the first.

3. Bloom your coffee
If you’re brewing with a pour-over, French press, or Aeropress, wet the grounds with a little hot water and wait 30 seconds before brewing. This releases trapped CO₂ from fresh beans, unlocking richer, smoother flavour.

And for the cherry on top…
If you love milk in your coffee, a good milk frother is a game changer. The silky texture turns a regular cup into a café worthy creation that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the moment. Once you try it, you will never go back to flat milk again.

Why this matters:
If you’re receiving this email, it means you’re already ahead of 90% of coffee drinkers, because you’re brewing with freshly roasted high quality beans. Combine that freshness with these simple brewing tricks, and you’ll take your coffee experience to the next level, enjoying café-quality coffee without stepping outside.

We roast every Tuesday and Thursday so your beans arrive at their peak flavour. All that’s left is for you to explore, enjoy, and bring your beans to life in your cup.
