Drip Coffee

This is the most common method of brewing coffee. It involves pouring hot water over ground coffee beans in a filter, which then drips into a carafe.

Drip coffee brewing is a popular method of making coffee that involves pouring hot water over ground coffee beans. The water drips through the coffee and into a carafe or mug below. This method is known for producing a smooth and consistent cup of coffee. To make drip coffee, you'll need a drip coffee maker, coffee filters, and freshly ground coffee beans. Simply add the desired amount of coffee grounds to the filter, fill the water reservoir with cold water, and turn on the machine. The coffee will begin to drip through the filter and into the carafe or mug. Drip coffee can be enjoyed with or without milk. Enjoy!

 

French Press

This method involves steeping coffee grounds in hot water for several minutes, then pressing a plunger to separate the grounds from the liquid.

The French Press, also known as a cafetière, cafetière à piston, caffettiera a stantuffo, press pot, coffee press, or coffee plunger, is a popular coffee brewing method or device that has been around for over a century. It was invented in France in the late 1800s and quickly gained popularity throughout Europe. The earliest known device was patented in 1852 in France by Jacques-Victor Delforge and Henri-Otto Mayer. The French press has undergone several design modifications over the years. The first coffee press, which may have been made in France, was the modern coffee press in its rudimentary form—a metal or cheesecloth screen fitted to a rod that users would press into a pot of hot water and coffee grounds.

Today, the French Press consists of a cylindrical glass or stainless steel carafe, a plunger with a metal or nylon mesh filter, and a lid. To brew coffee using a French Press, coarsely ground coffee is placed in the carafe, hot water is added, and the mixture is allowed to steep for several minutes usually it's 4 minutes. The plunger is then pressed down, separating the brewed coffee from the grounds. The result is a rich, full-bodied cup of coffee that is beloved by coffee enthusiasts around the world. 

The French press brewing method offers complete control over all brewing parameters. You can choose the water temperature, adjust the strength by changing the amount of grounds, customize the grind size, and even tweak the steeping time. The French press makes a strong and full-bodied coffee drink compared to regular brewed coffee and the caffeine content is also a little higher because of the long immersion process. Despite the popularity of other brewing methods, the French Press remains a classic and timeless way to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.

Pour Over

This method involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter, which then drips into a cup or carafe.

Pour over coffee brewing is a method of coffee preparation that involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter usuall ymade out of paper or metal mesh. Its origins can be traced back to Germany over a century ago, but it gained popularity in  Japan during the 20th century and is now commonly associated with Japanese coffee culture. While pour over coffee is enjoyed worldwide, Japan remains the country where it is most commonly used. But don't worry, pour over coffee is enjoyed worldwide and is sure to become your new favorite way to brew.

Pour over coffee has become increasingly popular, and it's not just limited to cafes anymore. You can now easily brew your own pour over coffee at home. The best part is that it's customizable, so you can experiment with different coffee grinds, water temperature, water pour cycles and coffee-to-water ratio to find your perfect recipe. It has become an art and the key to pour over is the slow pour of water. You need a goose neck kettle to master the water pour on to the coffee bed. A scale to measure the water pour and a heat resistant coffee server to collect your brewed coffee and also to retain the temperature of the coffee.

There can be infinite recipes that can be curated with pour over method. The idea is to have fun and enjoy the brew process. Consistency and simplicity is the key to self brewing with pour overs. Our favourite amongst all pour over is the patented The Master A from The Gabi - South Korea. It's so precise, unique, simplified and easy to carry with least amount of coffee accessories. 

The pour over method of brewing coffee has several advantages:

  1. Control Over Brewing Process: It gives you superb control over the coffee brewing process to extract the best flavor from your coffee grounds.
  2. Flavor: By controlling grind size, water temperature and the rate of coffee extraction, you can craft a more nuanced cup, allowing you to bring out subtle notes and many flavor profiles in your coffee beans that would have otherwise gone undiscovered.
  3. Consistency: The pour over coffee consistently tastes excellent and fresh…cup after cup.
  4. Cost-Effective: It’s a cost-effective method of brewing coffee.
  5. Portability: You can use it anywhere.

Remember, the pour over brew method is a hands-on approach that requires you to take an active role in the brewing process.. This method allows you a lot of control over taste, so you’ll need to experiment with the ratio to get the taste that you like best.

Espresso

This method involves forcing hot water through finely ground coffee beans under high pressure, resulting in a concentrated shot of coffee.

Espresso was invented in Italy in the early 20th century. The brewing method involves forcing hot water through finely ground coffee beans at high pressure, resulting in a concentrated and flavorful shot of coffee. process typically takes between 20-30 seconds and produces a thick layer of crema on top of the espresso. To make a perfect espresso, it's important to use freshly roasted and finely ground coffee beans, and to ensure that the water temperature and pressure are consistent throughout the brewing process.

The Moka Pot, also known as the Stovetop Espresso Maker, is a classic coffee maker of Italian design. It was invented by Luigi de Ponti and patented for Alfonso Bialetti in 1933. This method of brewing coffee is widely popular in Italian households and has several unique characteristics:

  1. Ease of Use: These stovetop kettles use steam pressure to force water up through coffee grounds and into a separate serving chamber. They are inexpensive, lightweight, easy to use, and quickly turn out a great cup of coffee in just a few minutes.
  2. Quality of Coffee: Technically, it is not the same as espresso, as it is made using a much lower pressure than a professional espresso machine. However, if you use a good-quality coffee at the proper grind for Moka pots (which is a medium grind, not as fine as for an espresso machine), it will produce quite good results, even with a bit of crema on top—the coveted layer of light foam on top of a well-made cup of espresso.
  3. Portability: The Moka Pot is a manual brewer that simply requires a heat source to brew a cup of coffee. This can be in the form of electric stovetops, a gas stovetop or a camping gas burner, making the Moka Pot an ideal on-the-go coffee maker.

Despite the fact that the Moka Pot is often referred to as a stovetop espresso maker, there is debate as to whether this brewer makes real espresso. An espresso coffee machine can create 9 bars of pressure during extraction, whereas the Moka pot can only create about 1.5 bars. Nevertheless, the Moka Pot is a beloved method of brewing coffee for many, offering a rich and flavorful cup.

 

Espresso

Cold brew coffee has become a staple in coffee shops and restaurants all over the world.

Cold brew coffee is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy your favorite beverage. By steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time (usually aroun 12 -16 hours), you can create a smooth and flavorful coffee concentrate that can be enjoyed over ice, hot water, hot milk, almond milk, or just over hot water. Whether you prefer it black or with a splash of milk, cold brew coffee is a great way to beat the heat and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.

The history of cold brew coffee is somewhat debated, but it is believed to have originated in Japan in the early 1600s. The Dutch traders from Indonesia introduced it to Japan, where they discovered a method of brewing coffee that involved steeping coffee beans in cold water for an extended period. This brewing method was popular among the Dutch because it allowed them to enjoy coffee without having to use heat to extract the flavor. In the 1960s, a man named Todd Simpson is credited with popularizing cold brew coffee in the US. 

The popularity of cold brew coffee has skyrocketed in recent years. One of the main reasons for its popularity is the unique taste it offers. Cold brewing produces coffee with a smooth and sweet taste, generally goes down easier and quicker than hot coffee2. While brewing coffee with hot water brings out acids, a characteristic that professional coffee tasters call “brightness,” cold water produces a full range of mouthfeel and sweetness, devoid of the acidity2. The absence of acidity in cold brew is even more noticeable when compared to iced coffee made from hot coffee.

In 2017, the US revealed its annual cold brew coffee growth figures to be at a staggering +370%. This shows how much the popularity of cold brew coffee has increased over the years. 

Our preference for cold brew have increased recently. We use Monsooned Malabar, India's Priceless Specialty coffee to the world. We steep for 12 hours with a coarse grind and a 1: 5 as our coffee to water ratio. The taste is a mellow full and simply amazing.
