We’re quite literally firing on all cylinders in this episode, as we show you how to brew incredible coffee at home with an Aeropress!
Like many of us, Jools loves filter coffee but isn’t sure how to get that cafe quality at home - or how ro recreate it when she’s away from her kitchen. We're using the Aeropress because it has infinite brewing possibilities, and it'll transform your coffee making experience forever.
Starting with their classic Espresso Style recipe, Scott guides Jools on how to make an Aeropress tailored to her tastes, by tweaking three simple elements: dose, heat and time.
You’ll be amazed at the differences they make!

Single Origin - Coffee's fairytale debunked

You’ve definitely bought “single origin” coffee before, and probably spent extra for it too. But what if you’ve been wasting your money this whole time?
We’re going to take you on a fun and bewildering journey back in time and through philosophical loop-the-loops to understand where on earth our obsession with the term “single origin” comes from.
This episode has more layers than a tiramisu! We start off unwrapping the story of coffee blends, but, the deeper we go, we realise that it’s actually a story about language and the very specific yet highly questionable principles that hold a community together.
Strap in!

Coffee Pods: The Espresso Killer?

Pods promise the seductive smoothness of an espresso, just minus the faff! But is this for real? And should you buy a pod machine for your relatives this Christmas?
We look at the case for pods from every possible angle. We cut them up, time them, try to recycle them and taste them!
Jools is open to the idea of pods, but can she convince Scott, the planet’s biggest pod-hater, that pods might actually have a place in our kitchens?
To help settle the bickering, James speaks to Nathan McCarley-O'Neill (Assistant Food and Beverage Director and co-author of Claridge's The Cocktail Book) and carries out a taste-test experiment between a pulled shot vs pod coffee.
We pick up the phone with sustainability journalist David Burrows and try to untangle the massive recycling mess us poor consumers face every time we puncture one of these small capsules.
And to cap things off, we decamp to Casa Bentley for an especially ridiculous espresso drag race!
