The Appartamento is a compact espresso machine designed for environments where space is at a premium.

Two main roasting methods are used for this coffee transformation - the traditional Drum Roasting method and Hot Air Roasting. At Allpress, we Hot Air Roast our coffee, so we're a little biased when it comes to which coffee roasting method is superior.

Anaerobic means “oxygen deprived.” The intact coffee cherries are placed in large barrels with water and sealed from oxygen for 48 to 72 hours. They ferment without oxygen, which imparts a completely different flavour from natural or honey processing.

Carbonic maceration is the process of placing intact coffee cherries into a sealed tank of water and then flushing it with carbon dioxide, hence the name. The process is very similar to what grapes go through in the process of making wine, and the end result of carbonic maceration on coffee is a very floral, fruity, and wine-like flavor profile.

I bet roasting is the thing that every barista wants to know about! We can develop flavour by roasting coffee. How can we achieve the best tasting coffee? What actually happens when roasting?

The syphon was invented by Loeff of Berlin in 1830, but in 1840 Mme. Vassieux of Lyons, France successfully commercialized the tabletop eye-pleaser that we know today. It's aim was to create a new brewing coffee using v***r pressure and, well, to design a more appealing brewing tool.

A vacuum coffee maker brews coffee using two chambers where v***r pressure and gravity produce coffee. This type of coffee maker is also known as vac pot, siphon or syphon coffee maker, and was invented by Loeff of Berlin in the 1830s. These devices have since been used for more than a century in many parts of the world. Design and composition of the vacuum coffee maker varies. The chamber material is borosilicate glass, metal, or plastic, and the filter can be either a glass rod or a screen made of metal, cloth, paper, or nylon. The Napier Vacuum Machine, presented in 1840, was an early example of this technique. While vacuum coffee makers generally were excessively complex for everyday use, they were prized for producing a clear brew, and were quite popular until the middle of the twentieth century. Vacuum coffee makers remain popular in some parts of Asia, including Japan and Taiwan. The Bauhaus interpretation of this device can be seen in Gerhard Marcks' Sintrax coffee maker of 1925.

Most of us can’t start our day without our morning cup of coffee. Coffee is considered one of the most popular drinks worldwide for good reasons. Coffee helps us focus, boosts our physical performance, reduces internal inflammation, and protects against some diseases, as it contains antioxidants. So, coffee is not just about caffeine that helps us function during the day, but also, if consumed in moderate amounts, can protect our health against several illnesses. Nowadays, coffee is becoming even more popular. Read on to know why drinking coffee is now more popular than ever.

The V60 has become increasingly popular in recent years. It delivers incredibly clear flavours and aromas, allowing coffee lovers to enjoy even the subtlest notes in their coffee. For this reason, the V60 is one of specialty coffee’s favourite brewing methods. Within 3 minutes, you can brew an incredibly tasty coffee.

The V60 Coffee Dripper (also referred to as the V60 Coffee Maker) is made by Hario. The name stems from the shape of the device. It is “V” shaped with angles of 60 degrees. The internal sides also have interior ridges which help with air flow during the brewing method. Filter paper is inserted into the V shape and coffee grounds placed within the filter paper. The brewed coffee then drips into your cup, delivering a great coffee.

The shape, design and materials used to create the Hario V60 have been utilised to help offer optimum extraction. They come in ceramic, plastic, glass and metal styles, offering a solution for any budget or purpose. Certain materials, such as copper, are associated with better extraction due to more heat being retained by the V60. Others, such as the plastic V60 are designed more to suit the traveling barista, rather than favouring heat retention.

Hario V60 also offers a great solution for reducing any unwanted sediment during the brew process. For anyone who enjoys brewing coffee at home, they are certainly worth the investment.

French press coffee is a method of brewing coffee that uses a device called a “French Press.” A French press is like a plunger that meets a strainer. It allows you to brew ground coffee in a container by brewing, pressing , and straining all in one.

The AeroPress is one of the latest alternative coffee brewing methods. It was invented back in the 2000s in the United States… By a toy maker named Alan Adler, noted for making fantastic frisbees. Mr Adler came to a conclusion that he wants to have good quick coffee always at hand, so he invented the AeroPress.
