Limited Reduction Pyrite Cup

To create the reduction line of cups, Kasper and his team created bespoke burners in order to eliminate oxygen in the kiln. This means metal oxides in the clay reduce to their metallic state during firing, a simple and ancient method to create a beautiful and modern aesthetic. For this limited run, pyrite particles were distributed onto each cup, breaking down into elemental iron and sulphur during the firing process. Also known as ‘fool’s gold’, pyrite gives a subtle shine to the surface of each cup.

Claudia Mathies Rank

Santa Ana

This natural lot, produced in collaboration with highly experienced producer Aida Batlle, the first ever female Cup of Excellence winner, exhibits typically Salvadoran chocolate notes, with a clean, rich and nutty finish.

This coffee was grown by Claudia Mathies Rank at her farm Finca El Paraiso, which lies further down the slopes of the Santa Ana volcano, not far from the town of Santa Ana itself. The volcanic soils of Santa Ana are very fertile, leading to excellent yields as well as quality. Cherries are then transported to the Batlle family mill, Beneficio Las Tres Puertas, for processing. As with all Batlle family coffee, expectations are high, only the ripest red cherries are used, fermentation protocols are followed to the letter, and coffee is stored and dry-milled under exacting conditions.

This lot is 100% Bourbon from Claudia’s farm, processed using the natural method, giving a rich chocolate and nut experience, punctuated by some soft ripe fruit, like a sweetened cherry.

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.
