I made bad coffee until I realised that coffee brewing could be decoded. I just had to learn enough about the process and then solve the problems I encountered. So after a lot of bad coffee and many mistakes I found myself making good coffee, repeatedly.
I still think of myself as a “beginner” because there is so much to learn. Though I approach learning about coffee and brewing seriously.
I hope my articles help you get started if are a beginner to brewing. If you’re more than a beginner, my articles also focus on relevant knowledge and concepts that helped expand my skills.
My coffee methods are: French Press (plunger) and Automatic Espresso Machine with a new interest in Pour Over.

I fell in love with Coffee during my time as an engineering undergraduate. Back then, coffee was a necessity to survive. Over the years however it has grown into a passion to savour.
I have no formal training but have evolved from brewing old pre-ground coffee beans on a french drip machine (thinking myself a connoisseur) to waking up each morning and choosing between bean, method and grind size (knowing that I am not).
I love sharing my experiences, experiments and discoveries with others and hope to get feedback as well because coffee is a very uniquely individual experience.
My coffee methods are: Pour Over (Hario), AeroPress, French Press (plunger), Moka Pot, and when I am feeling particularly lazy, Nespresso.

This website is a work in progress and it can only get better!
We plan on publishing more articles based on our experiences and tests. We hope to turn those articles into a useful reference guide for you.
We have a newsletter to keep you informed and up to date with information you can apply to your own brewing.
And one of our goals is to continuously improve the website experience as we learn more about website development. This includes better accessibility features, layouts, pictures and diagrams. Apart from a few free stock images, we have tried to produce our own artwork and photos. We hope to keep improving the images to add more educational cues.
