Grinding Hacks
Don't have one of those snazzy, top-end grinders that sound like they’re prepping for lift-off? No problem, friend. A humble sheet of kitchen roll might just be your new best mate.
Simply pour your freshly ground coffee onto the sheet, spread it out gently, and then pour the grounds off. The ultra-fine dusty bits (the ones that make your brew bitter enough to curl your toes) cling to the paper.
Why does this matter? Well, too many of those fine powdery bits in your grind can lead to over-extraction. Translation: your lovingly brewed Costa Licka ends up tasting like regret. With this little hack, you’ll be sipping a smoother cup worthy of BeanFlicker glory.
Espresso Hacks
Dreaming of that intense espresso kick but don’t have a café-grade machine parked in your kitchen? You’re not alone. While only real espresso is born under high pressure, you can fake it like a pro using a few classic methods:
- Stovetop (Moka Pot)
These stovetop charmers are often called “stovetop espresso makers” – and for good reason. They brew a strong, rich cup that can hold its own against the boldest of our Jamaican Me Drip or Morning Glory blends. Fiddle with the water-to-coffee ratio to hit that just-right level of punchiness. - AeroPress
The Swiss Army knife of coffee gadgets. Make a short, intense brew by adjusting your ratio and pressing like your morning depends on it—because let’s face it, it probably does.
Once you’ve nailed your “espresso”, how will you drink it? Short and sharp? Or perhaps mellowed with a splash of milk?

How to Keep It Hot Like You Mean It
Drinking Coffee Hacks
Want to enjoy your brew without playing a game of “guess the lukewarm sip”? Preheat your mug.
Just pour in some boiling water before brewing, let it sit, then dump it out. Voilà! Your mug is now a warm, snuggly nest for your Dry Hump Roast.
Your Grounds Are Not Done Yet
Used Coffee Hacks
- Garden Glow-Up
Sprinkle those used grounds directly onto your flower beds. They’ll improve drainage, keep the soil moist (naughty), and attract worms and micro-buddies your plants will adore.
- DIY Face & Body Scrub
Why pay for posh spa stuff when your Mouth Candy leftovers can do the trick?
Mix 1 part used coffee grounds with 1 part melted coconut oil and a cheeky bit of salt. No coconut oil? Olive oil steps up nicely. Scrub away the day and emerge silky smooth and smelling faintly of your favourite brew. Delicious.
