Coffee tonic
The perfect summer coffee serve. Bright, sparkling and ridiculously refreshing — especially with our washed Kenyan coffee, where the blackcurrant sweetness and tropical passion fruit notes really shine.
This recipe couldn’t be simpler, but a few small details make all the difference.
Dial in the espresso
We’re aiming for:
- 18g dose
- 40g yield
- 30 second extraction
The slightly longer ratio helps bring out the coffee’s juicy fruit character while keeping the finish clean and refreshing.
Chill everything
Pop your serving glass in the fridge beforehand. A properly chilled glass keeps the tonic crisp and refreshing for longer.
Ice matters
Add 3 large ice cubes made with filtered water. Slow-melting ice helps keep dilution low and the drink sparkling.
Build the drink
Pull your espresso directly over the ice to rapidly cool the coffee and preserve aromatics.
Slowly top with chilled tonic water and gently stir.
What to expect in the cup
Expect juicy blackcurrant sweetness, bright passion fruit acidity and a crisp sparkling finish, balanced beautifully by the refreshing bitterness of the tonic.
Sweet, vibrant and incredibly refreshing.
Best enjoyed in the sun.
Double espresso
Sometimes the simplest coffee is the best.
For many home baristas, it's easy to become focused on latte art, new gadgets and perfectly textured milk. But the truth is, the double espresso matters far more.
A double espresso is the foundation for so many drinks you'll make at home. If the espresso isn't dialled in, no amount of latte art can rescue it. Get the espresso right, and everything that follows becomes easier.
Dial in the espresso
- 18g dose
- 40g yield
- 30 second extraction
This slightly longer ratio helps create a balanced espresso with plenty of sweetness, body and clarity.
Warm your cup
A warm cup helps maintain temperature and allows the coffee's aromas to fully develop.
Pull the shot
Extract directly into your cup and enjoy immediately.
Take a moment before drinking. Smell the coffee, stir in the crema and notice how the flavours evolve as the espresso cools.
What to expect in the cup
A well-extracted espresso should be sweet, balanced and full of character. Rich body, lingering sweetness and clear flavour notes are what we're looking for.
Before latte art, before fancy accessories and before chasing the latest trends, learn to make a consistently great espresso.
It's the quickest way to improve every coffee you drink.
After all, nobody has ever poured beautiful latte art into a bad espresso and made it taste good.
Simple. Classic. Essential.
