How to Brew Like a Barista—Step by Step
Master your in-room setup with these simple, proven methods. No jargon—just great results.
Instant Coffee: Fast and Reliable
- Boil and cool slightly: Heat water, then let it sit briefly so it’s just off the boil. This helps reduce bitterness.
- Stir to dissolve: Empty a sachet into your cup, add hot water, and stir until smooth.
- Customize: Adjust strength by adding a little more or less water. Finish with milk or sugar if you like.
Pro tip: For a richer taste, start with a splash less water, sip, then top up to your preference.
Dilmah Tea: Steeped to Perfection
- Heat water to a gentle boil.
- Steep with care: Add the tea bag to your cup and pour hot water over it. A few minutes is usually enough for a balanced cup.
- Taste and adjust: Prefer it stronger? Steep a bit longer. Softer? Remove the bag earlier.
Pro tip: Warm your cup with hot water first to help your tea stay hot longer.
French Press: Full-Bodied and Hands-On
- Start with the press: Place it on a stable surface and remove the lid and plunger.
- Add coffee: Use your preferred ground coffee. Coarser grinds work best for a smoother cup.
- Pour and bloom: Add a little hot water to saturate the grounds, wait briefly, then fill to your desired level.
- Steep: Let it sit for a few minutes to extract full flavor.
- Press slowly: Lower the plunger gently to separate grounds from the brew.
- Serve immediately: Pour to avoid over-extraction and enjoy a rich, aromatic coffee.
Pro tip: If you enjoy experimenting, slightly shorter or longer steep times can fine-tune body and clarity.
In-Room Nespresso (Where Available): Espresso-Style, Simplified
- Power on: Ensure the machine is plugged in and turned on.
- Prepare the machine: Run a quick rinse cycle if desired to preheat.
- Brew: Follow the on-device instructions to pull your espresso-style shot.
- Customize: Enjoy as is or add hot water for an Americano-style cup.
Pro tip: A warm cup keeps crema and aroma at their best—rinse your mug with hot water first.

Small Touches, Big Flavor: Pro Tips
- Mind your water: Water just off the boil helps reduce bitterness for coffee and preserves delicate tea aromas.
- Warm your vessel: A quick rinse with hot water keeps your brew hotter, longer.
- Taste as you go: Start slightly stronger, then dilute to your perfect balance.
