The Benefits of Home Brewing
It is not uncommon to find various forms of coffee brewing devices and equipment on the kitchen counters of most homes. Every at-home coffee station is unique and varies in intricacies and number of tools.
You might find a trusty 12-cup coffee maker, a well-loved French Press, or a super fancy espresso machine. Everyone has their preferred way of making that oh-so-important cup of coffee in the morning.
Some people believe that home brewing is too much of a hassle or inevitably leads to lower quality coffee. But that doesn’t have to be true!
We want to enhance our customers’ home brewing experience. We want it to be exciting rather than intimidating. We are passionate about the experience we offer in-cafe, but the coffees we source and roast are meant to enjoy outside of our coffee shop! This is one of the reasons we have created educational platforms like our CoffeeU podcast and brewing videos. The benefits of brewing at home might surprise you!
The Home Brewing Ritual
There’s just something about the process of making coffee in the morning. It’s pretty therapeutic, the smell of the grounds, the sweet aroma that wafts through the room as it’s brewing, and the sound of those first drops of coffee spilling into your favorite mug.
This ritual fits into the day like a routine workout or cooking a delicious meal. It gives us a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment and (in our opinion) is an unmatched way to start a great day. The best part is that you can make your coffee however you want.

Our schedules are riddled with many rituals, and often they serve as much-needed reprieves from the monotony of our routines.
Making coffee at home isn’t just a way to caffeinate yourself. It’s a way to clear your head between Zoom calls or prepare yourself for the day ahead.
Because of the diverse brewing methods and the variety of coffees to choose from, it truly can become a hobby. However nerdy or simplistic you want it to be, quality coffee at home is perfectly achievable. You can try different coffees from all over the world and experiment with new brewing methods. There are so many unique flavor profiles to discover and ever-evolving ways to better your home brewing experience. That cup of caffeine holds allurement much deeper than mere caffeine fixes.
The Convenience of Home Brewing
Brewing coffee at home is convenient, and you don’t have to sacrifice quality! While the coffee shop vibe is incomparable, there is also something special about enjoying your favorite coffee in the comfort of your own home. Who doesn’t want that?
Sometimes there’s just not enough time to stop at your favorite coffee shop, but making it yourself doesn’t have to be a last resort. And it’s an experience to be shared! Just think about wowing friends and family with excellent coffee and conversation from the comfort of your own home.
Tips for Brewing Coffee at Home
You don’t have to be a full-time barista to be great at making coffee. The secret? Quality and flavorful coffee beans. Start with excellent coffee, and you almost can’t go wrong!
You also need good brewing supplies! If you want to get “fancy,” try making coffee in a pour-over or French press! Watch this video for a step-by-step guide to pour-over coffee.
Most importantly, make sure it’s something you enjoy! Whether you want to start your morning with an extra-large cup of coffee or need your regular afternoon pick-me-up, home brewing is the way to go (unless you’re out and near our Hoover cafe, of course).
