Brew Guide

How to get the best out of our beans. 

  • Temperature

    For pour-over filter methods, aim for the mid 80’s. We are aiming to preserve the sweetness of these coffees. Espresso, aim for lower 90’s.

  • Ratios

    Pour over:

    Larger doses, smaller water ratios. 

    Initiate a bloom with minimal water, leave for up to a minute then start your pulse pours to the desired amount.

    Espresso:

    For larger doses, aim for a slightly larger yield than a 1:2 ratio but again cater to your taste. Use a pre

  • Rest Periods

    Please ensure a rest period of at least 3 weeks for ALL brew methods; each coffee will be different in terms of rest needed. All our coffees will benefit from a substantial rest period of anywhere from 3-6 weeks (!) Ideally, you will grind what coffee you need and not keep pre-ground coffee for any length of time. Espresso generally needs a longer rest period than filter coffees, to fully de-gas and settle. 

  • Freezing

    Please don’t freeze our coffees, it’s largely to do with the nature of the rest periods needed to develop profiles. As soon as a coffee is frozen, the development stage stops.
