BETTER THAN INSTANT

Brew better coffee at home, without the guesswork, gadgets, or gatekeeping.

We believe good coffee shouldn’t be confusing or expensive. Whether you’re switching from instant, levelling up your Moka game, or just tired of bad brews, you’re in the right place.

The Daily Bean is your guide to making café-quality coffee at home — with no pretentious jargon and no £600 espresso machines required.

So, Who & What is the daily bean?

At The Daily Bean, we’re coffee lovers first, content creators second. Based in the UK, this blog was born from a simple question:

“Why is it so hard to find clear, beginner-friendly advice on making good coffee at home?”

So we started answering it.

Every guide, review, and recipe is written to be useful, honest, and jargon-free. We test real gear, brew with affordable tools, and skip the snobbery — all so you can enjoy better coffee without overthinking it.

Whether you’re brewing for one or batch-prepping cold brew for the week, we’ve got you.
