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.

Best as a filter, ideally a V60, though it works in any brewer.

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.

About this coffee

Rwanda Kageyo

What it tastes like

Strawberry laces, bittersweet dark chocolate and a little spice. Bright and fruity, but still smooth.

Why we bought it

Because of the strawberry laces. That's not a typo. Taste it and you'll see.

Who grew it

It's from Kageyo in Rwanda. We're still gathering details on the producers and will add them here.

How it was processed

Natural. The coffee dries inside the whole cherry before the fruit is taken off, which is where a lot of that fruitiness comes from.

How to brew it

Filter, ideally a V60 or similar. It works in any brewer, but that's where it shines.
