Home Barista – The Craft of Coffee At Home, At Work and On the Go

If you are here you are probably a coffee lover like me. And maybe, like me, you have wondered what makes coffee good. Tasty. Delicious. Memorable. You asked out loud: how can it be done? Can I do it at home or at work? I have been asking myself these questions for the last couple of years and I came to conclusion that it can be done, but it is a bit tricky.

Everything needs to come together – you need great coffee beans that were grown and processed with care and attention to detail. They need to be well roasted to have their true character out there, shining. The water needs to have adequate composition and temperature. The equipment needs to be up to the task. The grinding shall be precise, just like the recipe, the extraction and the overall execution. And then the magic happens; yes, even at home and yes, even on the go.

Home Barista provides you with the indispensable guidance to making exceptional coffee in home-like conditions.
