Ever wondered why coffee tastes better at a café? The truth is, brewing a great cup at home is easier than you think — with the right beans and a few simple steps. At Aguilar Real Café, we believe every sip should feel like a fresh café experience. Here’s how to do it right.
1. Start With Fresh, High-Quality Beans
The flavor starts with your beans. Always choose freshly roasted coffee, ideally within 2–3 weeks of the roast date. Our blends are roasted in small batches to lock in aroma and flavor.
Tip: Store your beans in an airtight container, away from light and heat.
2. Use Filtered Water (It Matters!)
Coffee is 98% water, so using filtered water makes a noticeable difference in taste. It brings out the natural flavors of the beans without added bitterness.
3. Measure Your Coffee Right
Use a coffee scale to get the perfect ratio. We recommend a 1:15 ratio — that's 1g of coffee for every 15g of water. Consistency is key to better flavor and less waste.
4. Brew With the Right Method
Every brewing method highlights different flavor profiles. Here’s a quick guide:
-
French Press: Bold and full-bodied
-
Pour Over: Clean and aromatic
-
Moka Pot: Strong and espresso-like

5. Don’t Rush It — Let It Bloom
If you're using pour-over or drip methods, pour a small amount of hot water over the grounds and let it sit for 30 seconds. This “blooming” step releases trapped gases and enhances the flavor extraction.
Final Thoughts
Brewing a perfect cup doesn’t require expensive equipment — just great coffee and a little attention to detail. With Aguilar Real Café’s freshly roasted beans, you can elevate your mornings and enjoy café-quality coffee at home.
