Enjoy the taste of your favourite Starbucks® coffee - right in your kitchen at home.
Whether you're a casual coffee drinker or a committed coffee connoisseur, a freshly brewed cup of Starbucks® coffee can uplift any moment. While there's no end to the ways you can personalise every cup of coffee to fit your exact tastes, it all starts with making sure you know the basics of making a delicious Starbucks® coffee at home.
Elevate your coffee experience and turn your Starbucks® beverage into something spectacular by using the right equipment.
Find your grind
It all starts with choosing the perfect grind. The way you're brewing the coffee will help you figure out what kind of coffee grind you need - whether it's fine, medium, or coarse.
Use fresh water
Filtered water is best, as all impurities will be removed. If you're brewing the coffee without a coffee machine, make sure you boil the water first.
When coffee has been stored incorrectly and has been exposed to light, moisture, heat or air, the flavour and freshness is affected - and it's the same whether you're using roast & ground coffee, or whole beans that you grind at home. When coffee beans or ground coffee has been sitting for months, or stored somewhere that isn't dark, cool, and dry, the coffee can taste stale, and begin to lose the flavours and aromas that make them unique and delicious.
Get your ratios right
Using the right coffee-to-water ratio is super important if you want to enjoy everything the coffee has to offer - the aromas, flavours, and delicate taste notes all fully develop when the right amount of water is used.
Find your perfect way to brew your favourite Starbucks® coffee at home:
Coffee Press: This is a well-known way to brew with coarse ground coffee.
Coffee Machine: A slow-drip brew that slowly filters hot water through medium ground coffee.
Moka Pot: Used on a stovetop to brew a quick, delicious coffee with a medium grind.
Pour-Over: It's called a Pour-Over because you pour the hot water over finely ground coffee, where it slowly filters into your coffee cup.
Iced Pour-Over: Similar to a Pour-Over, but the coffee drips through the filter onto ice cubes.
Chemex® brewer: Medium ground coffee is slowly brewed through a cone filter.
Mason Jar: An easy way to brew with coarse ground coffee using equipment that you can find at home.
Now that you know the different methods, check out our brewing guides and master them at home.
Pour the brewed coffee into any suitable cup for a true Starbucks® coffee experience. For that extra touch of home, use your favourite mug - but consider the size suggested for the coffee drink you’re making. You can also flavour your coffee depending on your tastes, by adding syrup or other sweeteners.
If you like, add milk or a plant-based dairy alternative and stir - and enjoy your favourite Starbucks® coffee, right at home.
