Brew Guide

The most important factors to a good brew are:

  • Soft Water (maximum 150ppm)

Water that is too hard contains an overly high concentration of certain minerals that mute desirable characteristics of coffee such as acidity, sweetness, aroma and body. If your water is too hard, consider using bottled or, filtered water.

  • Resting

After our coffee has been roasted, it requires 3 weeks of resting (left sealed in the bag) to allow CO2 be released, otherwise you may perceive roasty/bitter flavours that dissipate as the gas escapes. Rested coffee tastes sweeter and allows the characteristics of your coffee's origin, variety and processing to shine.

For guidance on specific brewing methods and equipment, see our brew guide.
