The difference in taste and quality between instant coffee and specialty coffee is shocking... Freshly roasted specialty coffee can be imported from around the world and blended together to form amazing flavours. Instant coffee is a quick fix for some and offers convenience. However we believe deeply that everyone should give specialty coffee a try as you will be shocked as to much better it tastes! 

For some people building a hobby of coffee tasting is a way of exploring various native flavours from around the world. We believe premium coffee should be explored by all as it has much to offer and you can be as picky as you want!   

Equipment: 

There are various ways of trying coffee through means of filtrating the flavour. What we love about brewing equipment is that it looks great and extracts the flavour to the fullest... This means there's no need for an expensive barista machine!

Now you know how we feel, its time to take your coffee experience to new heights! 

So what coffee equipment should I use?

There are many types of coffee equipment, but how do you know what to choose? Don't worry, we will help you make the right choice!

The V60

What is a v60? The v60 is essentially a filter holder, into which you place one filter, coffee grounds and pour on some hot water. The hot water will pass through the grounds and into your cup, drawing out all of the flavours and aromas very clearly. 

The Caffetiere

The caffetiere is often called the French press. In this device, you place the coffee grounds underneath a plunger and add hot water. You then press down on the plunger which draws out all of the flavour from the coffee and separating the grounds from the water. The fact that the coffee has not been exposed to pressure or boiling water gives the coffee a richer taste.

The Aeropress

The aeropress is essentially a big syringe but with no needle (and for coffee). You place a filter and some coffee into the end of a tube with some hot water, you then insert a plunger which presses the hot water through the filter and the coffee and into your cup. It creates a clean taste however not as rich as a French press due to the pressure.

Coffee pods

If you do have a coffee machine but still want the convenience of a quick cup in the morning before work, try coffee pods. You can select any coffee from our range and fill up your coffee pods with your chosen coffee. Our coffee pods allow for a rich, well bodied flavour and do not take away from the natural aromas and taste of the coffee. simply fill up, put into your machine and enjoy!

A final word

Obviously, this list doesn't contain every single method for brewing coffee; however, this list hopefully gives some insight for those who maybe don't know too much about specialty coffee but want to give it a try. we hope that this blog will quell some of the intimidation that can come with preparing a coffee well, and help you to brew the perfect coffee no matter your skill level.
