• Freshly brewed coffee (any preferred strength)
• Ice cubes
• Milk or sweetener (optional)

1. Coffee Brewing Tips
Fresh Beans Are Key
The freshness of your coffee beans affects the taste. Look for locally roasted beans or store your beans in an airtight container, away from sunlight, to preserve their flavour.

2. Use Clean, Filtered Water
Water quality influences the taste of coffee more than many realise. Use filtered water and avoid tap water, which may contain minerals that alter the taste.

3. Experiment with Grind Size
The grind size can impact extraction and flavour. For example, espresso requires a fine grind, while cold brew and French press need a coarser grind.

4. Control the Brew Time and Temperature
Each method has an optimal brewing time and temperature. For espresso, aim for 25–30 seconds, whereas cold brew can be steeped overnight for a smoother taste.

5. Milk Frothing Techniques
If you enjoy frothy coffee drinks, investing in a milk frother or steam wand is worthwhile. Heating milk to around 60–65°C helps achieve the perfect texture for cappuccinos and lattes.

• 100g coarsely ground coffee beans
• 500ml cold water

Method
Cold brew offers a smoother, less acidic coffee experience and is ideal for warm days. Add coarsely ground coffee to a large jug and pour in cold water. Stir, cover, and let it steep in the fridge for 12–24 hours. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or coffee filter, and serve over ice. You can adjust the intensity by diluting it with water or milk as desired.

Mocha combines the boldness of coffee with the sweetness of chocolate, perfect for those who like a treat. Add two tablespoons of cocoa powder to your espresso shot and mix until smooth. Pour steamed milk over the mixture, then top with whipped cream for an indulgent finish.

• 1 shot of espresso
• 200ml steamed milk
• A small amount of frothed milk

Method
A latte is similar to a cappuccino but with a greater milk-to-espresso ratio, resulting in a creamier texture. Start with a single shot of espresso and top it up with steamed milk. For a light foam, froth a small amount of milk and pour it over the latte for a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. Lattes are also a great base for flavoured syrups like vanilla or caramel.

Method
The cappuccino is known for its perfect balance of espresso, steamed milk, and froth. Begin by brewing a shot of espresso, then add steamed milk. Use a milk frother to create a thick layer of foam, spooning it on top of your coffee for that signature finish. For an extra touch, sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon over the froth.

• Freshly ground espresso beans
• Hot water

Method
An espresso forms the base of many coffee drinks and is also delightful on its own. To make it, you’ll need an espresso machine. Simply pack the ground coffee into the machine’s portafilter, press it to an even level, and extract it under high pressure. A standard espresso shot takes 25–30 seconds to brew, creating a rich, bold coffee with a velvety crema on top.
