BEAR at home

It’s brew time! This week, I’ll be showing us how to brew the perfect V60 - a favourite brewer amongst all BEAR baristas! ☕️ There are many variations in brewing methods for V60 - this is a good one to get you started. Head to https://bemorebear.co/ to get all the brewing gear you need plus yummy coffee for home! YOU WILL NEED A V60 Dripper (we use the Hario 02 Brewer) A V60 filter paper (to fit your brewer) 24g medium-fine grind coffee (consistency of caster sugar) 400g of 95 degree C water A set of scales A timer (or just your phone)...

These little pink onions are one of my top five ingredients; they go great with just about anything, from sweet potato and feta tacos, to lentil curry, to BBQ’d meats. They're also perfectly paired with my Breakfast Tacos recipe. Yuuuuum! At BEAR we serve them on our flatbreads and our avo toast - the sweet vinegary crunch works wonders with the avocado! The recipe below is super easy, and takes 30 minutes from start to finish. Start your meal prep with these onions and they will be ready by the time the rest of your dinner is ready. I tend...

The French Press (or Cafetiere) is a massively popular brewing vessel - definitely the most requested grind size for our online orders. Our recipe is enough for 2 servings, but can be adjusted depending on the amount of folk you’re brewing for (just half the recipe if its for 1 or double for 4 etc). YOU WILL NEED A French Press (Cafetiere) 30g coarse grind coffee (consistency of rock salt) 500g of 95ºc water, plus a little for pre-heating A spoon or stirrer A set of scales A timer (or just your phone) A vessel to decant in to A vessel to...

This recipe is a great way to make your berries go a little further - it works with raspberries too! This method helps to concentrate the berries’ flavour, so the more delicious they are to begin with, they’ll taste even better once they’re dried. They're also chewy (think dried apricot but a bit softer) with a plump juicy consistency. I tend to add mine to granola (click here > to see the BEST granola recipe), and serve with yoghurt and honey for breakfast. They are also amazing with feta, balsamic and rocket to make a beautiful summery salad. INGREDIENTS 450g Strawberries,...

We love the AeroPress at BEAR. It's simple, versatile, portable and makes a great cup of coffee. It’s also great for understanding how changing different variables has an impact on the final coffee flavour! YOU WILL NEED An AeroPress (plus Filter Papers) 14g medium / fine grind coffee (consistency of table salt) 230g of water heated to 95 degrees celsius A set of scales A timer (or just your phone) A vessel to plunge in to A vessel to drink out of   HOW TO BREW Set up your AeroPress plunger-end-down (inverted) on a set of scales.

Do you love granola? Me too! Here, I’m sharing BEAR’s granola recipe, which is also the best granola recipe. Granted, I’m biased, but it really is the best and if you know me, you’ll know that I use that term sparingly. This is the recipe our chefs use in all BEAR stores, just scaled down. This granola makes a wonderful snack or breakfast, served either with a milk of your choice, or with greek yogurt and fresh fruit. It also goes a treat with Oven Dried Strawberries. We like to make our granola without tree nuts, opting to add toasted almonds...
