Three steps to great coffee
Get to know your Arabica from your Robusta. Discover different roasts. Find your flavour. From bean to brew, we believe there are three steps to incredible coffee.
Selecting high-quality, fresh beans sets the stage for the perfect espresso.
Ground coffee can begin to lose its freshness within minutes, roasted beans are best within weeks of roasting, and green beans can last up to a year or more if stored properly. To preserve the freshness of coffee, store it in a cool, dark place in an airtight container.
Our bean-buying tip:
Don’t buy too much at one time. Buying in bulk seems economical, but you risk losing flavour intensity.
Price can determine the quality of beans
But, just like wine, more expensive doesn’t necessarily give you the flavour you like. Sometimes, premium-priced beans have bold, intense, lively tastes with flavour tones that are wildly different from mainstream coffee. Try a range of beans with different price tags to discover one you like.
Rich, unique flavours
Experts believe that every brew has thousands of flavours working in harmony. Flavours are determined by where beans are grown, their origin, and how they are harvested and processed. From farm to cup, your coffee tells a story.
Nutty, sweet, fruity, floral, spiced. Explore the world of coffee.
Find your ideal roast degree for the bean-to-cup coffee maker. Darker roasts tend to be more bitter – perfect for lovers of bold espresso. Latte and cappuccino in your cup? Go dark. Milk will mask some of the bitterness.
Single-origin vs blend
Single-origin coffees typically come from one region, farming co-operative or even farmers. Blends brings together two or more different origins.
Single-origin coffee
Single-origins have rich, distinctive and diverse flavour profiles. It’s often more expensive to produce and harder to source. This can hike the price up for consumers, too.
Coffee blend
Blended coffee delivers the same flavour every time. It takes the best qualities from different origins, and blends to create a balanced, consistent profile. Blends are more widely available, so it’s easy to find your favourite.
Arabica vs Robusta
Arabica and Robusta are the most common coffee beans, and each has its own flavour.
Robusta beans
Robusta beans are intense and bold, with a rich crema that offers a thicker texture and mouthfeel. This makes it an ideal pairing to a milky coffee, like macchiato or latte. Robusta beans are easier to grow and cheaper to buy.
Arabica beans
Arabica beans offer smoother and more nuanced tastes. They’re harder to grow, so they’re often a little pricier.

To pour perfection, you need proper preparation. With a Baristina espresso coffee machine, your coffee will have a professional touch.
