Great coffee doesn't have to be complicated.

Welcome!

Over the years I've helped thousands of people improve their
coffee at home, and most of the time it's the little things that make the
biggest difference.

Below are a few simple recipes and tips to help you get the
most from your Coffee Beans Perth beans.

Happy brewing,

Jess ☕

  • NOT SURE WHERE TO START?


    Our Day Made blend is our most popular for home espresso and a great place to begin.

    Whether you're new to specialty coffee or
    just switching things up, it's a consistently delicious starting point.

  • A NOTE ON FRESH COFFEE

    One of the biggest misconceptions in coffee is that every
    bag should behave exactly the same.

    Coffee is a fresh agricultural product. Seasons change,
    origins change, and even humidity can affect your extraction. That's why the
    first coffee from a new bag isn't always the best cup. Don't be afraid to make
    small grinder adjustments when you open a fresh bag. A tiny tweak can
    completely transform the flavour in your cup.

These recipes are simply a starting point. Every machine, grinder and coffee is a little different, so trust your taste buds and adjust from there.

Most coffee issues can be solved with a small grinder adjustment. Start small and taste as you go.

Tips from Jess ☕

  • 01. Water matters more than most people realise


    Coffee is over 98% water. If your water doesn't taste great, your coffee won't either. Use filtered water where possible, refresh it regularly, and avoid heavily chlorinated water — it's one of the easiest ways to improve your cup instantly.

  • 02. Milk Matters



    For milk-based coffees, what you use makes a real difference. I'm a full-cream convert — it creates a silkier texture and sweeter finish than skim, which can be harder to texture well.

  • 03. Don't chase perfection



    After years in cafés, roasting coffee and training baristas, I've learnt coffee doesn't have to be perfect to be enjoyable. Some mornings you'll nail it. Some mornings you'll be making coffee while packing lunchboxes and trying to get everyone out the door. That's okay too — the goal isn't perfection, it's a coffee that helps make your day.
Texture Notes — Coffee Beans Perth

A few milk texturing tips — start with cold milk, purge your steam wand before use, and introduce only a small amount of air. Aim for silky, glossy milk, then tap and swirl before pouring. You're looking for a smooth, paint-like texture rather than stiff cappuccino foam.

Keep it clean — a dirty machine makes dirty-tasting coffee. A quick weekly clean of your group head, baskets and steam wand can dramatically improve flavour. Coffee oils build up faster than most people realise.

"The goal isn't perfection. The goal is a coffee that helps make your day."
