Coffee Brewing at Home – Simple Advice for Beginners

Brewing coffee at home doesn’t need to feel intimidating. With the right tools and a few simple steps, you can enjoy café‑quality coffee every day. If you’re new to manual brewing or feel confused about where to start, this guide will walk you through popular methods—using tools like the French Press, V60 Pour Over, and Mocha Pot—and share tips to make your first brews easy and enjoyable.

1. French Press – Rich & Full‑Bodied

Why beginners love it: Simple, forgiving, and no special pouring technique required.

Steps:

1. Add coarsely ground coffee (about 1 tbsp per 100ml water).

2. Pour hot water (just off boil) and stir gently.

3. Place the lid and let it steep for 4 minutes.

4. Press the plunger slowly and serve.

Tips:

• Use a consistent coarse grind so it doesn’t get muddy - "and consider our blender to keep your routine even easier”

• Don’t leave coffee sitting too long in the press - pour into a cup or server.

2. V60 Pour Over – Clean & Bright Flavors

Why beginners love it: Clear taste of the coffee, and fun to master pouring.

Steps:

1. Place filter paper inside the V60 and rinse with hot water.

2. Add medium‑fine ground coffee (about 15–18g for one cup).

3. Pour a little water to let the coffee “bloom” for 30 seconds.

4. Continue pouring slowly in circles until you reach your water amount.

Tips:

• Practice pouring gently; a gooseneck kettle helps but isn’t mandatory.-"available now in our store"

• Don’t worry if it tastes off—just adjust the grind: finer for sour, coarser for bitter.

3. Mocha Pot – Strong & Espresso‑Like

Why beginners love it: Small, sturdy, and makes bold coffee on the stovetop.

Steps:

1. Fill the bottom chamber with water (up to safety valve).

2. Add finely ground coffee to the filter basket, level it off (don’t tamp).

3. Assemble the pot and place on low to medium heat.

4. Wait until you hear a gurgle—coffee is ready!

Tips:

• Remove from heat once coffee flows to avoid burnt taste.

• Best for those who enjoy strong, espresso‑like drinks.

General Advice for Beginners

• Start simple: Choose one tool and practice—don’t try everything at once.

• Use fresh coffee: Freshly ground beans improve flavor dramatically.

• Mind the water: Clean, filtered water makes a big difference.

• Take notes: Write down your ratio and taste so you can adjust next time.
