Frequently asked questions

What is the best grind for me?

FRENCH PRESS Easy to find, easy to do, French Press is the old faithful of the home baristas. You can make a large amount at a time and please a crowd. 10 minutes is all you need & you have a steaming cup of caffeinated goodness. Requires a Coarse grind. ESPRESSO MACHINE Brewing under pressure! Whether a commercial grade machine or at home, this produces a beautiful result with triple layered crema...classic! Requires a Fine grind. MOKA POT The quickest way to beautiful Italian style coffee, this stovetop brewer will keep you going all day. Bellissimo! Requires a Fine grind. FILTERED/CHEMEX The no-fuss way to a beautiful brew. Cold or hot, this method is easy for beginners, and there are so many options for equipment. Requires a Medium to Coarse grind. COLD BREW Much like the filtered/pour over method, you're adding cold water to the grind and letting gravity do its work. Leave overnight for best results - patience is a virtue! Added bonus of cold brew, you bring out more subtle notes in the coffee's taste and aroma. Requires a Medium grind. POD MACHINE Fortunately our delicious coffee blend is already available to purchase in a pod form from our Shop.
Just pop the pod inside, sit back and let the machine do the hard work for you.



What can I do with my old coffee grinds?

BOOST YOUR GARDEN BED
Just by sprinkling some of the grounds around your plants, mixing into the soil, or creating a spray fertiliser with some water can boost the health and growth of the garden. COMPOST AND FOOD FOR WORMS Coffee grounds have the power to stabilise the pH levels and degrade food more quickly. They're also great for masking the smell! SELFCARE AT HOME
Indulge yourself and smell amazing by scrubbing the coffee grounds over your body and rinse off. This will help remove dead skin cells without irritating the skin. Or enjoy silky hair by rubbing grounds through and rinsing out with cold water. HOUSEHOLD CLEANING The leftover coffee grounds can also be repurposed as nifty hacks to keep your house clean. A mixture of hot water and coffee grounds poured down your sink drain can help unclog it. Or placing dry grounds wrapped in cloth on your fridge shelf can absorb strong odours.



What are the different types of coffee?

CAPPUCCINO
The humble cappuccino is made from an espresso shot and warm frothy milk. Similarly made like the latte but the micro foam is at least 2-3cm on top and dusted with chocolate powder. LATTE
The latte, the art canvas for many baristas, is made with an espresso shot and warm foamed milk. It has 1cm of micro foam on the top, mostly swirled into a leaf pattern. FLAT WHITE
The flat white milk is very similar to the cappuccino except there is no froth or chocolate on top. The is simply made with an espresso shot and warm milk. LONG BLACK
The long black is a very simple yet subtle way to enjoy the strong taste of the blend. It's made by pouring an espresso shot over hot water.
