Ways To Make Coffee
There’s more than one way to brew great coffee and each method brings out different flavours in the bean. Whether you use an espresso machine, V60, cafetière or moka pot, this guide will show you how to get the most out of your beans at home.
How to Brew Espresso at Home
Espresso is a fast, intense brewing method that delivers a small, concentrated shot of coffee with a rich crema on top. Made under high pressure, it’s bold, full-bodied, and forms the base of café favourites like lattes and flat whites. Perfect if you like a strong, quick hit of coffee.
The best home filter coffee
Filter coffee, also known as drip coffee, is a smooth, easy-to-drink brew that highlights the subtle flavours of the bean. Made by slowly pouring water over ground coffee, it’s lighter and less intense than espresso — ideal for sipping throughout the day or brewing in larger batches to share.
How to Use a V60 for Filter Coffee
V60 is a pour-over brewing method that gives you full control over the process, producing a clean, bright cup with delicate flavours. Perfect for showcasing single-origin coffees, it’s a hands-on way to brew that rewards patience with clarity and precision in every sip.
How to Make Chemex Coffee
Chemex is a stylish pour-over brewer that makes smooth, balanced coffee with a clean finish. Using a thicker filter than V60, it removes more oils for a crisp taste and can brew larger batches — great for sharing or enjoying a longer coffee moment.
How to Brew French Press Coffee (Cafetière)
Rich, full-bodied, and easy to brew, the French Press is a classic method that lets the coffee steep before pressing down the filter. This immersion brewing style brings out bold flavours and natural oils, making for a smooth, hearty cup with plenty of depth — perfect for those who like their coffee with a bit of weight and texture.
Aeropress: Portable Brewing for Serious Coffee
The AeroPress is a quick and versatile brewer that combines immersion and gentle pressure to create a rich, smooth cup. It’s easy to use, highly portable, and perfect for experimenting — whether you want a strong espresso-style shot or a longer, mellow brew.
Using a Moka Pot (Stovetop Coffee)
The Moka Pot, or Stove Top, is a classic way to brew bold, strong coffee on the hob using steam pressure. It produces an espresso-like cup with a rich, robust flavour — perfect for those who like their coffee with a bit of punch, especially in milk-based drinks.
