Brewing Coffee at Home

Taking the Plunge

Taking the Plunge

A mighty fine french press coffee on our kitchen bench

When brewing coffee at home in your french press using the right coffee is really important - many people have told us that they don't like plunger coffee but we think that is because they were using supermarket coffee. 

We recommend Bodum because their filter screen is the most resilient.

We also recommend Barrington Blend

Our showroom full of home coffee makers is located in Maitland - conveniently located for residents of Port Stephens and Newcastle

Some brewing tips

Cold Brew

Taking the Plunge

What's with this cold brew? 

Basically you brew your coffee in cold water. Something everyone should add to their arsenal of home coffee makers!

The real trick is how long you brew and which coffee you choose - much like French Press (Plunger).

Our BodyBrew is the easiest way to brew and store your Cold Brew when brewing coffee at home.

Have a look at some of our

Single Origin  Coffees

Paterson Blend and Barrington Blend from River Roast are also pretty damn good!

Brewing with Bialetti

Bialetti Stove Top coffee makers all in a row

-Fill base with water to a centimetre below the

valve. 

-Fill basket with coffee tapping it gently to create resistance.

-Make sure the coffee is firm.

-Put unit back together.

-Place on moderate heat (Gas or Electric is fine)

-Keep your eye on the brew and switch off the heat before it gurgles

Enjoy brewing coffee at home with one of the most traditional home coffee makers

Aeropress

Fresh or Frozen

This shows the individual parts of the Aeropress

The Aeropress - Whether you are brewing coffee at home or on the road why not use one of the most popular home coffee makers.

Easy and definitely functional.

Use for hot brew, cold brew, stick on a Fellow and get yourself an espresso.

Use an Able Stainless Filter for a bolder brew.

The list goes on.

We recommend the Rhino Grinder for Aeropress.

Fresh or Frozen

Fresh or Frozen

Fresh or Frozen

James Carter making coffee and talking about whether or not freezing your coffee is a good idea

Ideally you want to use fresh beans BUT beans only stay fresh for a relatively short time so if you are brewing coffee at home and you're in a position where you are buying coffee once a fortnight for example then it is better to freeze some so the ageing process is stalled. 

Freshness and stability are very important for home coffee makers particularly for Espresso Machines!

Frequently Asked Coffee Questions

and Some Statements:

  • I've read that you shouldn't freeze coffee (See Fresh or Frozen) 
  • How often should I clean my coffee maker? -  (One of Coffee's main ingredients is Caffeol which is Coffee Oil) - Oil will go rancid very quickly when exposed to air so you need to clean the oil off with a mild detergent regardless of what sort of coffee maker you have.
