Look, we get it — you’ve probably been making coffee since forever. But here at Scoog, we believe that good coffee is easy, and great coffee just needs a little extra love (and maybe a touch of attitude).
So, here’s our no-fuss, all-flavour guide to making your Scoog instant coffee taste like it was brewed in a fancy café… without you even leaving your kitchen.
Step 1: The Warm-Up
Start fresh — fill your kettle with freshly drawn water (yep, oxygen matters) and let it boil.
Pro tip: boil a little extra so you can pre-heat your mug. Fill it with hot water for 20 seconds, then toss it out. This keeps your coffee hotter for longer… because nobody likes lukewarm caffeine.
Step 2: Scoog’s Golden Ratio
Here’s the magic number: 2g (aka one heaped teaspoon) of Scoog instant coffee for 200ml of hot water.
But hey, we’re not the coffee police — if you like it bold, add more. If you want it mellow, add less. Scoog is all about coffee your way.
Step 3: Don’t Burn It
We know you’re tempted to pour that boiling water straight away — resist. Let it sit for about one minute so it cools to around 94°C. This keeps the flavours smooth and avoids that bitter “I’ve been scorched” taste.
Step 4: Make It Yours
Milky & Dreamy? Go for whole milk, or mix milk with a splash of cream for silky perfection.
Sweet Side? Our coffees are sugar-free, so a sprinkle of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey can make those flavours pop.
Icy Mood? Pour over ice and cold milk for an instant iced latte.
You’ll Need:
- Scoog Instant Coffee (your fave flavour)
- Your favourite mug
- Teaspoon
- Fresh water
- Kettle
- Milk/cream (optional)
- Sweetener of choice (optional)
The SCOOG Method:
- Boil your kettle (more than you need).
- Pre-heat your mug with hot water. Discard once warm.
- Add 1 heaped teaspoon (2g) of Scoog coffee to the mug.
- Wait one minute after boiling, then pour 200ml of hot water over the granules.
- Stir until smooth.
- Add milk, cream, sugar — or go bold and drink it black.
Sip. Smile. Repeat.
