Brewing Instructions

French Press:

You’ll need: 24g coffee, French Press coffee maker, scale (optional), kettle

1. Boil fresh/filtered/clean/soft water with the kettle (to around 205F)

2. Grind freshly roasted beans to a medium coarse level

3. Place the coffee grounds into the French Press

4. Add 450g of hot water & put the top on (do not push down the plunger)

5. Wait 4-5 minutes (you want the floating bits to fall down at the bottom)

6. Compress the plunger (don't plunge all the way, just until the surface of the coffee)

7. Pour the coffee into your favorite mug & Enjoy!

(can also use 30g of coffee to 500 gr water)

or follow this table:

Drip Machine:

1. Add cold clean/filtered water in the drip machine

2. Grind just before use with a medium-fine grind.

3. Use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per cup of water. Use more if you want it stronger.

4. Follow the drip machine's instructions to brew the best coffee. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy!

Pour Over (Hario V60, Chemex, etc.):

You'll need: goose neck kettle (or if needed, transfer from kettle to goose neck decanter), Pour Over maker, Paper filter, digital scale (optional), spoon, clean filtered water, Grinder (electric Burr grinder or hand grinder recommended),

60 grams per litre of water (change if you want stronger coffee) (30 grams of coffee to 500 grams water) Weigh your beans to about 30 grams of coffee.

1. Position the paper filter in the brewer. If using a Chemex, place the thicker side on the spout side.

2. Dampen the paper filter with hot water (to remove any papery taste and pre-heat brewer). Pour out the water while keeping the filter sealed against the coffee maker wall.

3. Grind beans to medium fine level. Add ground coffee to center of the brewer and create a small well in the middle.

4. Boil water. Wait about 20-30 seconds after water is boiled before pouring (hotter the better for lighter roasts)

5. Pour about 2 grams of water per gram of coffee (about 60 grams of water) to just soak all the ground with water.

6. Swirl your brewer (or mix with spoon) to make your water & coffee evenly mixed together. Let it bloom for about 30-45 seconds.

7. Pour the remaining water in 2 phases in one continuous pour (60% of our total liquid in, in the next 30 seconds, i.e. 300 grams in total by 1min 16 sec. Use a circular motion back and forth to ensure the grinds are just covered at all times and to make a steady extraction. You want the cone to look full. Then aim 100% of brew weight in next 30 sec. Give it a little stir with a spoon to knock of any ground stuck to the paper. Keep coffee bed flat.

8. When the coffee is drained out, the coffee bed should look flat in the middle.

9. Throw the paper away, pour the coffee into your favourite mug and enjoy!

Aeropress:

1. Boil fresh, cold, filtered water. 

2. Grind fine

3. Add beans to your hand grinder hopper. Grind a hopper full of beans.

4. Push plunger out of your AeroPress chamber.

5. Put a filter in the cap and twist the cap onto the chamber. Stand it on a sturdy mug.

6. Pour some water through the chamber to rinse the filter and preheat the mug. Dispose the water.

7. Add one heaping spoon of the ground coffee in the chamber. Give the chamber a shake to level out the coffee.

8. Add hot water to the number 2 on the chamber. Stir for 10 seconds.

9. Insert plunger into the chamber and press down slowly for 20-60 seconds.

10. Add hot water to make a total of 8oz for an Americano-style drink

11. Remove the cap and push the plunger through the chamber to eject used coffee grinds.
