Make it yours.

Baseline recipes for your daily brew. Choose a method for what you’ll need and a simple guide, then adjust for your equipment, water and taste.

Dose
15 g
Water
250 g
Grind
Medium-fine
Temperature
90°C
Time
Around 3 minutes

What you’ll need

Step by step

  1. Rinse the paper with hot water, discard the rinse water and add 15 g of ground coffee. Level the bed and tare your scales.

  3. 0:45 — Pour gently to 150 g total.
  4. 1:30 — Pour to 250 g total. Let the water drain through.
  5. Aim to finish around 3:00. Swirl the brewed coffee and serve.

Water
210 g
Grind
Medium
Temperature
94°C
Time
2 minutes, then press

What you’ll need

Step by step

  1. Place a paper filter in the cap and rinse it. Attach the cap to the chamber and stand it upright on a sturdy mug. Add 14 g of coffee.
  2. 0:00 — Add 210 g of water. Insert the plunger just enough to make a seal and leave to steep.
  3. 1:45 — Hold the chamber securely, remove the plunger and stir six times. Reinsert the plunger gently.
  4. 2:00 — Press slowly and steadily into the mug. Stop if you feel strong resistance; do not force it.

Adjust to taste

Try a slightly finer grind for more extraction, or slightly coarser for an easier press. Keep the brewer upright and supported throughout.

Ratio
1:2
Grind
Fine
Temperature
92–94°C

  1. Warm your machine and portafilter. Dry the basket and grind 18 g of coffee into it.
  2. Distribute the grounds evenly and tamp level. Place your cup on the scales and tare.
  3. Start the shot and timer together. Aim for 36 g in the cup in 28–32 seconds.
  4. Stir and taste. Change one variable at a time before pulling another shot.

Adjust to taste

If the shot runs too quickly, grind finer; if too slowly, grind coarser. Treat time as a guide and let taste decide the final yield.

  5. Taste again as the coffee cools. Describe the aroma, sweetness, acidity, body and finish in your own words.

Adjust to taste

Use the same dose, water and timing when comparing coffees. Your observations can change as the cup cools.

From our roastery to your cup.

Roasted on Tuesdays.

We roast every Tuesday and dispatch orders throughout the week that follows. Order by midnight on Monday (UK time) to join that week’s roast.

After the cut-off, we’ll send rested coffee if we have it available. Otherwise, your order will be roasted the following Tuesday.

Tracked to your door.

UK orders are sent with Royal Mail: Priority via Tracked 24, or Standard via Tracked 48.

Orders to Ireland, Europe and our other international destinations are sent with International Tracked. Delivery times apply after dispatch and are estimates.

Give it a little time.

We recommend resting your coffee for 1–3 weeks from its roast date before brewing. This gives the flavours time to settle and open up.

If your coffee arrives already rested, it’s ready to enjoy.
