We aim to offer a range of the very best domestic coffee machines and equipment that will perfectly suit our Grumpy Mule coffees, and show them off in the best light. We will combine our own experience of coffee machines and equipment with your requirements, and offer helpful advice and tips to point you in the right direction.

We will strive to try and test all of the machines and equipment ourselves so that we can provide firm recommendations and ensure that they perfectly match your coffee needs and situation.

However, please remember that we are more than happy to offer tips so that you can get the very best out of your existing equipment when using our coffees!

Espresso Machines for the Home

It’s often argued that espresso is the true essence of coffee, the ultimate expression. This may not be entirely true, but here at Grumpy Mule we are huge fans of espresso, both in its purist form and when carefully transformed into cappuccinos, lattes and macchiatos (but we do balance this with our affection for single origin coffee.)

We hope to make home espresso preparation both achievable and easy, and offer a range of machines and equipment to suit every need. We also realise that it’s important that the equipment looks good in its setting, so we provide equipment that matches great function with great design.

• Traditional espresso machines
  
• Bean to cup espresso machines
  
• Mokka (stove top) pots – for a more rustic coffee
  

Filter Machines and Cafetières

These two brewing methods in particular are perfect for single origin coffees, as they provide a clean tasting way of enjoying all of the coffees best characteristics whether its sweetness, body, acidity, aroma or flavour. Again, we realise that it’s important that the equipment looks good in its setting, so we provide equipment that matches great function with great design.

• Filter machines
  
• French press (Cafetières)
