Do you pour your heart into brewing specialty coffee at home? You’ve bought the best beans, invested in top tech, followed recipes perfectly, and measured water ratios like a chemist. You thought you did everything right, but result fell flat. If this has happened to you, you’re not alone. For countless home brewers, the missing piece is not the beans, the recipe, or even the brewing device. It is often the grinder.
The grinder you use (and how you use it) directly impacts your coffee quality.
The holiday season is upon us once again, and with it comes the pressure to get the perfect gifts for the serious “coffee nerds” in your life.

How to Make Better Tasting Cold Brewed Coffee at Home
If you are like most coffee enthusiasts, you want to know how to make better tasting cold brew coffee at home. Our preferred home iced coffee maker is called the Cold “Bruer.” It was actually invented by one of our former students!

While most notably a holiday beverage, gingerbread is perfect in your lattes and/or coffee any time it’s cold outside (although it is delicious in the iced versions as well!). This is a great addition to your coffee beverages and/or pastries- FYI this syrup is also delicious on pancakes! When contained in a glass bottle, its deep mahogany color is a beautiful addition to any coffee shop counter.
