Brewing with a coffee press retains the precious natural oils that paper filters absorb, and extracts the coffee’s full flavour while giving it a consistency that’s thick and rich.

1. Grind and measure
Remember, coffee is like produce. Buy it often in small quantities to enjoy it at the peak of freshness.

Pour-over is a beautifully simple and accessible way to brew a single cup of coffee with clean, fully developed flavour and body.

1. Measure and boil
Measure as much water as you’re going to use to brew, plus a little extra for rinsing the filter, and bring it to a boil.

2. Pre-moisten filter
Briefly rinse the paper filter with hot water, and discard the rinse water. This will give your coffee the purest flavour possible.

3. Measure and grind
Next, measure your coffee. For pour-over, use coffee ground for a paper cone. It’s a relatively fine grind that looks like granulated sugar. Measure 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.

4. Pour and pause
Use hot water that’s just off the boil and fill the cone halfway to saturate the grounds. Pause for 10 seconds and let the coffee bloom. This allows the coffee to hydrate evenly and begin to develop flavour.

5. Complete the pour and enjoy
To make your pour-over more consistent, use a timer. It should take about 3 minutes to make a cup.

Iced pour-over is a simple and approachable way to make rich, full-flavoured iced coffee one pitcher at a time.

1. Pre-moisten filter
Briefly rinse the paper filter with hot water, and discard the rinse water. This will give your coffee the purest flavour possible.

2. Choose the right grind
For pour-over, use coffee ground for a paper cone. It’s a relatively fine grind that looks like granulated sugar.

3. Measure
Iced pour-over is brewed at double strength and diluted with ice, so measure 4 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of hot water.

4. Pour and pause
Use hot water that’s just off the boil and fill the cone halfway to saturate the grounds. Pause for 10 seconds and let the coffee bloom. This lets it hydrate evenly and begin to develop flavour.

5. Complete the pour
Slowly add the rest of the water, pouring in small, steady circles to cover all the grounds.

6. Add ice
African coffees are popular for iced pour-over because of their superb juicy body, and tangy, sparkling citrus notes.

Drip coffee is a convenient way to make great coffee. With the right grind and pure water, you can brew a fantastic cup of coffee in a coffee brewer.

1. Choose the right grind
For a flat bottom filter, use a medium grind that resembles sea salt. Cone filters use a finer grind that resembles granulated sugar.

2. Measure
Use 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water.

3. Brew and enjoy
TIP: Brewed coffee is always best fresh, so make as much as you’ll enjoy in a sitting. Reheating coffee can dull the flavour.
