Making coffee with a French press is simple and requires no filters or complicated equipment. Simply add the coarsely ground Roof Roast coffee beans to the press, pour hot water over them and let them soak for about 4 minutes. Then you press the plunger down to separate the coffee grounds from the coffee and you can enjoy your coffee. The French press is ideal for those who like a richer and more intense coffee. Because the coffee grounds stay in contact with the water for longer and no paper filter is used, this method preserves more of the natural oils and makes the coffee richer. It's a great way to bring out the deeper, earthier notes in our roasted coffee, such as the flavours of nuts, chocolate or spices. With Roof Roast coffee beans and a French press, you can enjoy rich, aromatic coffee at home with the depth and complexity of barista coffee, without the need for expensive appliances.

A stovetop coffee machine, also known as a Moka pot, is a traditional Italian coffee brewing method that produces rich, strong coffee similar to espresso. This method is favoured for its ability to produce a bold, intense flavour with minimal equipment, and is therefore preferred by those who like a more concentrated and robust coffee.

Cooking with a Moka cooker is easy. The ground roasted coffee beans are placed in the middle chamber of the pot and water is added to the lower chamber. As the pot heats up on the stove, steam pressure pushes the water through the coffee grounds and into the upper chamber where the brewed coffee is collected. The result is a thick, rich-tasting coffee with a generous crema on top, perfect for drinking straight or as a base for lattes and cappuccinos. This method is ideal for darker roast coffees, especially those with chocolate, nutty or smoky flavours, to bring out deep and complex flavours. The Moka cup is an inexpensive and easy way to enjoy espresso-style coffee at home without the need for expensive equipment. With Roof Roast coffee beans and a Moka pot, you can easily make a café-quality strong coffee drink in your kitchen and capture the essence of Italian coffee culture with every sip.

Espresso machine coffee brewing allows you to extract the pure essence of Roof Roast coffee beans, bringing out their complex flavours and aromas in a small, concentrated cup.

The beauty of an espresso machine lies in its precision. By controlling the grind size, water temperature and extraction time, you can fine-tune the brewing process to achieve the perfect espresso, whether you prefer a smooth, sweet coffee or a stronger, more bitter coffee. For best results, use freshly roasted Roof Roast coffee beans, ground just before brewing.
