Whether you’re a seasoned coffee lover or just getting started, these creative brewing methods will help you enjoy café-quality coffee from your own kitchen.

If you’re new to our brand, start by exploring the story behind La Vela Coffee and what makes our beans unique.

1. Pour-Over Brewing for a Clean, Flavorful Cup

Pour-over brewing is one of the best ways to experience the delicate flavor notes in freshly roasted coffee.

What you’ll need:

• Pour-over dripper (V60 or similar)

• Medium-fine ground La Vela Coffee

• Filtered hot water (195–205°F)

• Paper filter

This method works especially well with beans purchased directly from our Coffee Collection, ensuring maximum freshness.

Why it works:
Pour-over brewing highlights subtle tasting notes and creates a smooth, clean finish—perfect for light and medium roasts.

2. French Press for a Rich and Bold Experience

For coffee drinkers who enjoy a fuller body and stronger mouthfeel, the French Press is a classic choice.

Brewing tip:
Use coarsely ground coffee and let it steep for about 4 minutes before pressing slowly.

We recommend starting with one of our bold roast options available in the La Vela Coffee Shop.

Why it works:
This method preserves natural coffee oils, creating a rich, robust cup ideal for slow mornings.

3. Cold Brew for Smooth, Low-Acidity Coffee

Cold brew is one of the easiest ways to enjoy La Vela Coffee—especially during warmer months.

How to brew:

• Combine coarse ground coffee with cold, filtered water

• Steep for 12–18 hours in the refrigerator

• Strain and enjoy over ice

Cold brew pairs beautifully with our smooth roast profiles. If you’re unsure which beans to use, our About Us page explains our roast philosophy and flavor profiles.

Why it works:
Cold brewing reduces acidity and enhances natural sweetness.

4. AeroPress for Café-Style Coffee at Home

The AeroPress is compact, versatile, and perfect for experimenting with different brewing styles.

Why AeroPress is popular:

• Brews quickly

• Allows full control over strength

Pair this method with freshly ground beans from La Vela Coffee to achieve the best results.

It’s ideal for coffee lovers who want professional-level results without complex equipment.
