Three ways to make your morning coffee taste even better

The flavour of your morning coffee depends on more than the beans alone. Try these three simple adjustments, changing just one variable at a time so that you can discover what really suits you.

1. Start with fresh coffee and a suitable grind

Keep coffee tightly sealed and, where possible, grind it shortly before brewing. Match the grind size to your chosen method: a grind that is too fine or too coarse can affect extraction and the final flavour. Find more detail in our guide to grind size for different brewing methods.

2. Pay attention to the water and recipe

Use fresh drinking water whose taste you enjoy. If you notice an unwanted smell or flavour, try a filter suitable for drinking water. Set the temperature and brewing time according to your method and the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations: one setting is not ideal for every coffee and recipe.

3. Preheat the cup if you prefer a warmer drink

If you like to sip slowly, briefly warm your cup with hot water and empty it before pouring the coffee. This is a simple way to start with warmer crockery, not a requirement for good coffee. Adjust milk, sweetener and other additions to your own taste.
