Ever wonder why your home brew doesn’t taste like your favourite café coffee?

It’s all about extraction – the process that determines how much coffee flavour ends up in your cup.

Grind size controls surface area (finer = more extraction) • Water temperature affects extraction • Time matters – too long and you’re overdoing it

Perfect balance is the goal. Over-extract and you’ll taste bitter compounds. Under-extract and you’ll get sour, weak flavours.

Great coffee isn’t just about quality kit—it’s about understanding your beans. Start with fresh, quality coffee and adjust one variable at a time until you get your perfect taste.
