With millions of Brits enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee each day, it is no surprise that there are countless places to buy coffee beans, from supermarkets to coffee shops to speciality roasters.

For a good coffee preparation, the proper ratio of coffee to water is critical. A kitchen scale can assist you in maintaining precise measurements. Different brewing techniques require different particle sizes, based on how long water and coffee are in contact There are also certain brew methods that have short brew times, for example, espresso, as well as Aeropress, will need a finer grind size. Other slow brew methods such as the French press will require a coarser grind.

We know how important your morning coffee is, and finding your favourite is a real personal journey.  We think using a percolator should be your next step on that journey.

Thinking about graduating from ground coffee, capsules or coffee bags and switching your blend to beans instead? Not only is this the best way to enjoy the freshest cup of coffee possible, but you’ll benefit from a much richer flavour and aroma. 

Step aside grinder, french press, bean to cup machine, v60, Chemex and instant. There is a new sheriff in town. 

As the weather starts to turn, the days get colder, the nights get longer, and the layers of clothing added before leaving the house increase, there’s one thing that helps us get out of bed in the morning – it’s now pumpkin spiced latte season!

The humble whipped coffee took the internet by storm.  Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, every social media channel was full of everybody’s newfound love for this delicious coffee delicacy.

The importance of making sure that what we consume is both sustainable and eco-friendly is more important today than ever before. Knowing how to find these products and what to look out for on the packaging is no easy thing, however!

On top of the kerbside recycling from local councils and the supermarket based recycling we have also signed up to terracycle, to make sure as much of our packaging as possible is recycled.
