Tips for making great coffee...

Should I grind my coffee to a Fine grind or a Medium grind?

  • Use a fine grind if you are making espresso using a stove top or a dedicated espresso maker
  • Use a fine to medium grind for a Filter Coffee machine,
  • A medium grind for a Cafetier, or any other method of coffee brewing (ie, jug and a tea strainer)

How much ground coffee do I need to make a cup of coffee?

This depends on how you like to drink it, and what style of coffee you are making.

  • Strong – 2 desert spoons per person
  • Med – 1- 2 desert spoons per person
  • Mild – 1 desert spoons per person

Espresso machines require about double the amount of finely ground coffee.
Remember - you control the strength, we supply the character

Best Tips for a great taste

  • Do not use boiling water! – it scalds the beans (poor beans)
  • Stir it a couple of times– do not bash it to death
  • Leave for no longer than 4 mins – it starts to stew

Storage Tips

  • Store the beans or any ground coffee in a sealed container, in a cool place (best in the fridge or freezer).

COFFEE IS A FRESH PRODUCT - keep it cold
