How to brew
this coffee

Every coffee has an ideal brew window. These parameters are what our roasters use — a starting point to refine to your own taste.

Espresso parameters
Dose18g in / 36g outin / out
Yield time25–30 secondsseconds
Temperature92–94°C°C
Ratio1:2brew ratio

Espresso with milk is where it shines, but it's forgiving in a cafetière or filter too.

Step by step
01

Grind fresh. Set your grinder to fine and dial in until the shot runs in 25–30 seconds.

02

Dose and distribute. Weigh your dose, distribute evenly, then tamp with consistent level pressure.

03

Pull the shot. Start your timer. Adjust grind coarser if too slow, finer if too fast.

04

Taste and adjust. Sour = grind finer. Bitter = grind coarser.

Filter / Pour-over parameters

Grind medium-coarse. Bloom with 2× coffee weight water for 30 seconds before the main pour.

Step by step
01

Rinse your filter with hot water to remove paper taste and pre-heat your vessel.

02

Bloom: Pour 30ml of hot water, stir gently, wait 30 seconds.

03

Pour in stages — slow circular pours over 3 minutes, keeping the bed even.

04

Let it drain fully and serve immediately for best flavour.

About this coffee

Beach Blend

What it tastes like

A rich, chocolatey body with a biscuity finish. It's good black, but it's really at its best in a flat white or a latte.

What's in it

Colombia Excelso for the chocolatey body, and Brazil for the biscuity notes. Excelso is a size grade for Colombian beans, not a farm or a variety. It gives the blend a sweet, steady base that holds up well in milk.

How to brew it

Espresso with milk is where it shines, but it's forgiving enough for a cafetière or filter too.
