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.
