What You Need to Brew Coffee at Home
Before you start, you need a few basic tools.
Fresh Coffee Beans
Always use freshly roasted coffee beans. Fresh roasting ensures maximum flavor, aroma, and quality in every cup.
At Coffee Point, we roast coffee in small batches to guarantee freshness and consistency.
Whole beans preserve flavor much better than pre-ground coffee, so grinding right before brewing will give you the best results.

We use high-quality Timemore grinders for precise and consistent grinding.
Brewing Method

Hot Water
Use clean, filtered water at the right temperature (around 90–96°C).
Best Brewing Methods for Beginners
There are several popular brewing methods, each with a different taste profile.
V60 (Pour Over)
V60 produces clean and bright coffee with high clarity. It highlights fruity and floral notes.
French Press
French press makes a full-bodied coffee with rich texture and more oils.
AeroPress
AeroPress is versatile and easy to use. It can produce both espresso-like and filter-style coffee.

Adjust grind size based on your method:
- V60 → medium grind
