draft project

The Home Café

coffee and bakes, house-made

Learn the café's craft at home — brewing coffee more ways than one, and baking the scones, biscuits, cookies, and brookies that belong beside it.

A copy carries over only the public parts you see here — the owners' private files never leave their own vaults.

🚧 Draft — not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional — someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.

Recipe cards

The keepers, written our way — our timings, our tweaks, the version that worked in this kitchen with this oven. A recipe card is only added once a thing has been made well enough to repeat. Coffee first (nail one method), then the bake ladder climbs one rung a weekend.

☕ Coffee — the one method first

Method being dialled in: (pour-over or moka — pick ONE and get it reliable before adding another)

Variable Our setting Notes
Beans / roast
Grind finer/coarser than last time? grind is the biggest lever
Coffee : water ratio e.g. 1:16
Water temp just off the boil
Time
