I thought I’d start a monthly series on the coffees I’m brewing at home. Discovery is what pulled me into the specialty coffee rabbit hole in the first place and honestly, it’s still the best part.

Here’s what’s been in my grinder in the month of January.

Built on years of hands-on experience with machines, baristas, and cafés, Bean Balance works on both sides of the equation: the machine and the coffee it produces. From setup and calibration to training and ongoing support, the focus is simple: better coffee, fewer problems, and consistency every day.

An evening where design met coffee — the opening of Modora Home Dubai and Mokha 1450’s newest boutique in Umm Suqeim celebrated craftsmanship, creativity, and timeless beauty. Together, they created more than a space; they created a feeling — a harmony of luxury, artistry, and authenticity.

When I was asked to present at the first edition of The Home Barista Show, I wanted to show off my latest shiny brewer. But I didn’t want to present a complicated recipe which I developed just for the event. I wanted to share my actual routine. One that helped me reclaim my mornings. To keep things simple. That’s when I switched to the Ceado Hoop. Read why it was the ideal choice and what my go-to recipe is.
