    Learn how to make your favourite coffee

    Remember when a spoonful of instant and a quick stir was the only option? Well, not anymore. With a clever coffee machine on-hand, you can recreate your coffee shop favourites at home easily... and we're going to show you how.

    While espresso is delicious on its own, it also lays the foundation for every other coffee, so getting this step perfected is key. Whether you want one shot or two, follow these simple steps to make a delicious espresso.

    Find the perfect grind setting for your coffee. If you test it and get watery results, you’ll want a finer setting. If the results are oily, you’ll need to tweak the settings to a coarser grind.

    Tamp the coffee with an even pressure for the best flavour.

    When it’s extracting, use a shot timer or watch the pressure gauge until it’s in the middle.

    Top tip: For the best flavour and brewing experience, use high-quality coffee beans roasted within the last six months, and don’t be afraid to experiment with your grind size and pressure settings to find your perfect cup.

    Nail these basics and you’re all set to start crafting the good stuff. What comes next? That’s where the fun begins…
