5 tips for better tasting coffee

I’m a huge coffee lover, and when it comes to coffee I like to make it as good as possible. If you’re wanting some easy ways at home to create barista style coffee, then read on for the best tips.

1. Use high quality, whole beans

This is my number one tip. In order to get the rustic, authentic flavour of a coffee bean then you need to go right to the source. By doing this, you can choose a variety of different roasters and get to know your suppliers details in and out!

2. Use filtered water

If you want your coffee to taste utterly perfect, then I suggest you use filtered water. You can put it through a water filter at home to get rid of any impurities.

3. Use the right coffee mug

This is key! A great tasting coffee can be enjoyed from any cup of course, but to make that at home experience perfect… it’s nice to get the mug right. Going for an espresso? Ensure you have an espresso cup. Fancy a flat white? Then make sure your cup is the right size. Bonus points if your mug has adequate thermal layering to keep it nice and hot for you.

4. Temperature is golden

We don’t want to burn the beans, but we want the coffee to taste delicious. It’s important you get to grips with your coffee machine so that you can work out what temperature works for you. Have a couple of practice runs and you’ll soon be pouring that perfect cup of Joe.

5. Have one with a friend

I truly believe that some of the best coffee I have had have been with friends sharing stories. There is nothing quite like starting your day with conversation with a friend and a perfect cup of coffee.
