No drink is as
disappointing as bad
coffee. Make great
cups in your kitchen
with a coffee machine
that beats the baristas
at their own game
e are now a nation of coffee addicts. Once famed for our
love of tea, the British now search out that other black
liquid. We have gone from a teaspoonful of instant coffee
will do to connoisseurs of espresso shots and steamed milk
in a dizzying variety of combinations. We search out single
variety beans, we wait patiently at the end of the counter
for baristas to work their magic and plan our day around
our coffee intake. Making a great cup of coffee at home has
become ever more desirable. Not just to reduce the impact
on your wallet of visiting coffee shops but also because, well,
life is simply too short to drink bad coffee. Particularly when
barista-beating brews are possible in the comfort of your
own home with the right kit and expertise. Here’s our guide
to the different methods and machines with expert input
from coffee expert Giles Dick-Read of Reads Coffee.
