Coffee Guid
Coffee is a beloved beverage enjoyed worldwide, made from roasted coffee beans derived from the Coffea plant. Here's an in-depth look at the different aspects of coffee, from bean types to brewing methods.
​
Brewing coffee is the process of extracting flavor, aroma, and caffeine from coffee grounds to create a satisfying beverage. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just beginning your journey into the world of coffee, understanding the basics of brewing is essential for making a delicious cup tailored to your preferences. Here's an overview to get you started:

Espresso Machine Based Drinks.
Espresso is made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans at high pressure. The result is a concentrated and flavorful shot of coffee with a layer of crema on top. Espresso serves as the foundation for many other coffee beverages
Cold Brew
Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coarsely-ground coffee beans in cold water for an extended period, typically 12 to 24 hours. The mixture is then strained to remove the grounds, resulting in a smooth, low-acid coffee concentrate that can be diluted with water or milk and served over ice.
Mokapot
For the moka pot we recommend the following beans in dark roast. Also known as a stovetop espresso maker, the Moka pot brews coffee by passing boiling water pressurized by steam through ground coffee. It produces a strong, espresso-like coffee that's often used as a base for other coffee drinks.
Chemex, Hario V60
This manual brewing method involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter. The water slowly drips through the grounds and filter into a carafe or mug below. Pour-over brewing allows for precise control over variables such as water temperature and pouring technique, resulting in a clean and nuanced cup of coffee.

Filter Drip
Drip coffee is more forgiving than other methods as far as precise measurements go. However, it is best to have a coarse grind resembling sea salt. We recommend lighter roasted beans for a good cup of drip coffee to highlight the flavor characteristics of the coffee, with Sidama coffee bean in light roast and the rest in medium roast

French Press
For French Press we recommend the following beans in medium roast. Coarsely-ground coffee is steeped in hot water in a cylindrical vessel with a plunger and mesh filter. After a few minutes, the plunger is pressed down to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee, resulting in a full-bodied and rich cup.
