START WITH BETTER COFFEE

1. Start With Good Beans

Coffee doesn’t need to be complicated, but fresh, quality beans make a noticeable difference. Start there before buying another gadget for the counter.

2. Get the Grind Right

The same grind doesn’t work for every brewing method. Drip, French press, pour-over and espresso each work better with the right grind for the job.

3. Find Your Brewing Style

There’s no single “correct” way to make coffee. We’ll help you find a method that fits your taste, your morning and how much effort you’re willing to make before caffeine.

COZY COFFEE SEASON IS HERE

Warm Up Your Coffee Routine

Cooler mornings are a pretty good excuse to make coffee a little more interesting. Cinnamon, maple, caramel, chocolate, pumpkin and other fall flavors work especially well when you know how to balance them instead of turning your mug into liquid candy.

Fall Coffee Without the Sugar Bomb

A good seasonal coffee should still taste like coffee. Start with a solid roast, add flavor in small amounts, and let things like cinnamon, vanilla, cream or maple complement the cup instead of taking it hostage.

Try Something Different

This is the season for hot lattes, flavored brews, homemade creamers and the occasional ridiculous experiment that turns out way better than expected. Yes, bacon coffee can apparently make that list too.

COLD BREW WITHOUT THE NONSENSE

Cold Brew Is Easier Than You Think

Cold brew doesn’t require fancy equipment or a chemistry degree. Coffee, water, time, and a little patience will get the job done. We’ll show you how to get a smooth, rich brew without turning your kitchen into a coffee laboratory.

Get the Ratio Right

Too weak and you’ve made sad brown water. Too strong and you may start hearing colors. The right coffee-to-water ratio makes all the difference, along with the right grind and enough steeping time.

Make It Your Own

Drink it straight, pour it over ice, add milk or cream, sweeten it, or turn it into a coffee cocktail. Once you have a good cold brew base, you can take it just about anywhere.
