Method

We have two standard recipes that can highlight different attributes of our coffees on espresso, whilst still being transparent in flavour profile.

Bright and Soft

When brewing a coffee with a brighter character, often with high density, we aim for a brighter expression in the cup and more separation between flavours, while sacrificing intensity and body. We do this by using a longer ratio and higher brew temperature, but a faster brew time.

Rich and Sweet

When brewing coffees with a richer and sweeter profile, we aim to highlight this in the cup, with greater intensity of texture and flavour. This recipe is especially effective when combined with milk, where we often prefer naturally processed coffees such as our range from Brazil.

Combining with milk

In order to create a balanced milk beverage, you can vary the size of your espresso while maintaining the same ratio. For an example, for our standard cup sizes, we would suggest the following coffee doses and final espresso weights, if using the ‘rich and sweet’ recipe.

For our standard ‘medium’ milk beverage, in a 180 ml cup, we recommend the following recipe, again when combined with the ‘rich and sweet’ recipe.

15g in

37,5g out

32 seconds

~140ml steamed milk

Brewing

Espresso

Here we recommend resting your coffee for even longer, in our bars in Aarhus we try to use coffee that has been roasted more than 3 weeks ago for espresso. Espresso is also measured slightly differently, here we measure the ratio of dry coffee to the yield of espresso in the cup. For this we recommend placing a small set of scales under your cup as you brew, to measure the weight of espresso as it falls. When we brew our coffees, we recommend starting with a 1:2 ratio of dry coffee to espresso yield, and using the same rules as above to adjust grind size.
