☕ Home Brewing: The Rise of the At-Home Barista

Posted by

Australians are investing in high-quality coffee equipment to bring the café experience home. With espresso machines, manual brewers like AeroPress and pour-over setups, and specialty beans, home brewing is becoming an art form.

• How to brew better coffee at home:
Buy freshly roasted beans – Opt for boutique blends for a richer flavour.
Use filtered water – Coffee is 98% water, so quality matters.
Grind fresh – Invest in a burr grinder for consistency.
Master different brew methods – Experiment with French press, pour-over, or cold brew.

• Trending in 2025: Home brewers are shifting towards lighter roasts with complex flavour profiles. Nitro cold brew and flash brewing are also gaining popularity for a refreshing summer alternative.

Coffee Prices Are Rising – Here’s How to Get the Best Value

Due to climate change and supply chain issues, the cost of coffee is increasing, with predictions that a cup could reach $7–$12 by the end of 2025.

How to make your coffee last longer:
Buy in bulk – Save money by purchasing whole beans and storing them properly.
Choose nitrogen-flushed coffee – Extends shelf life while preserving freshness.
Use a coffee subscription – Get fresh beans delivered regularly.
Support local roasters – Buying Australian-roasted coffee ensures quality and freshness.

Trending in 2025: Specialty instant coffee is making a comeback, offering premium flavour without the café price tag.


Dairy-Free & Wellness Coffee Trends

Health-conscious Australians are embracing plant-based milk options and functional coffee blends that offer more than just caffeine.

Oat milk reigns supreme – Creamier and better for the environment than almond or soy.
Decaf is on the rise – Specialty Swiss Water decaf maintains full flavour.
Collagen coffee – Aimed at beauty-conscious consumers.

Trending in 2025: Cafés are crafting coffee mocktails and flavoured matcha & chai alternatives to cater to diverse tastes.
