Brew Guides

Education is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s a quick phone call to discuss grinder adjustment or an SCA accredited course we believe knowledge is power. We’d rather arm you with the knowledge to make great coffee yourselves rather than place our coffee and you within a box. Here you can check out our brew guides.

V60/Kalita

 

•22G of ground coffee

•380ML of filtered water.

•Rinse your filter with hot water. This will get rid of papery flavour and will pre-heat your brewing gear. Discard the water before brewing.

•Add your ground coffee.

•Pre - infuse coffee before brewing by pouring 68ml of water then give it a stir and leave it until 45s. Then more water until you reach 220ml, give it a swirl and then add the rest of the water. Brewing should take approximately 3- 3 1/2 mins.

Aeropress

•15.5g of medium/fine ground coffee 

•250ml of filtered water

•Brew time 1min

•Extraction 30s

•Rinse your filter with hot water. This will get rid of papery flavour and will pre-heat your brewing gear. Discard the water before brewing.

•Put your coffee into the Aeropress. Pour all the water straight in and give it a good stir to make sure all coffee grounds are soaked.  Put the cap on and wait for 1min. Your brewing time starts as soon as water hits the coffee grounds. After 1min flip your AeroPress into your container/cup and press it down for 30 sec until it's empty and enjoy!

Chemex

•42g of ground coffee

•750ml of filtered water

•Rinse your filter with hot water. This will get rid of papery flavour and will pre-heat your brewing gear. Discard the water before brewing.

•Pre-infuse your coffee by pouring 84g of water for 40s.

•Pour the rest of the water in a slow circular movement, try not to hold your kettle too high. When you finish swirl your brewer, this will even out the coffee bed and give you a better extraction. 

French Press

•30g ground coffee - very coarse

•500ml filtered water

•Pour hot water on your coffee and let it sit for 4min. Then after 4 mins passed take two tablespoons. Firstly stir your coffee, you will see that coffee crust that formed on top will start to fall two the bottom, you will have some of it left on top, and then using two tablespoons just scoop out what's left and bin it. Put in your plunger, but don't press it to the bottom just a little bit bellow where is the water, cause otherwise you will stir up the coffee grounds that have settled in the bottom of your french press. Gently pour into your cup and enjoy.
