The Story Behind the Costa Brand

Costa Coffee was founded in London in 1971 by Sergio and Bruno Costa and has grown to become the nation favourite coffee shop.

How Do I Make Costa Medium Roast No.3 Ground Coffee?

To get the best results from your Costa ground coffee and learn how to make a professional barista grade latte at home, correct preparation is important. Specific hydration techniques are required to release the nutty and caramel volatiles.

The Cafetiere Ritual Brewing Guide:

• Measure: Utilise 1 to 2 tablespoons (approx 7g to 10g) of coffee per 250ml of water into a pre warmed pot.
• Water: Use freshly filtered water heated to 90 to 96 degrees Celsius. Expert Tip: Use a thermometer or a temperature-controlled kettle; water straight off the boil can scorch the oils.
• Steep: Pour water steadily and stir thoroughly. Allow to brew for 4 to 5 minutes to develop the full caramel sweetness.
• The Finish: Plunge the filter slowly and steadily and serve immediately to prevent over extraction.

The Iced Costa Caramel Refresher Recipe:

• Why Try It: This method creates a refreshing and indulgent iced coffee that rivals any coffeehouse, perfect for summer hydration in 2026.
• The Prep: Brew a double strength concentrate using 4 tablespoons of coffee in 200ml of water using a cafetiere. Steep for a full 5 minutes.
• The Chill: Fill a tall glass with large ice cubes and pour the hot concentrate directly over them to lock in the aromatics.
• The Serve: Top with cold milk or a splash of water and a dash of caramel syrup for a professional finish.

The Barista Grade Latte At Home Recipe:

• The Base: Prepare a strong concentrated coffee shot using a moka pot or the cafetiere method mentioned above.
• The Milk: Gently heat 150ml of whole milk or a creamy oat alternative. Whisk until a dense velvety micro foam forms.
• The Combine: Pour the frothed milk over the coffee base. The Medium Roast No.3 provides the perfect structural integrity for a creamy latte that highlights the hazelnut notes.
