Selection and grinding: a small expression of freedom
In our quest for excellence, we carefully select our coffee beans, retaining only those of superior quality. In each bean you will find the perfect balance of body and flavor. Now we leave you the joy of grinding coffee, so you can enjoy its freshness, giving you the freedom to choose the method you prefer to prepare it according to the taste of your palate.
- Preparation method: a recommendation based on taste
Drip Coffee Maker: Convenience in a Cup
If you're like me and love convenience, the drip coffee maker will be your best friend. Follow the following steps:
- Make sure you have filtered water for clean, flavorful coffee.
- Measure approximately one tablespoon of coffee per 180ml of water, but if you want more or less intensity, adjust the amount to your taste!
- Use a medium grind, neither too fine nor too coarse, to avoid unpleasant flavors.
-Heat the water, making sure it does not boil, the idea being that the water temperature is 90ºC.
- Once prepared, serve the coffee immediately to enjoy it in all its splendor.
French press: body and flavor in every sip
The French press is ideal for bringing out the flavors and body of the coffee. Follow the following tips:
- Heat the water between 90°C and 96°C, so as not to burn the coffee.
- Calculate one tablespoon of coffee for 180 ml of water, but don't worry if you prefer a stronger or weaker coffee, adjust the quantity according to your palate!
- Grind coarse coffee beans to prevent unwanted sediment from seeping out.
- Pour hot water over the coffee and stir gently. Don't press yet, give the coffee time to brew!
- After 4-5 minutes, slowly push the plunger down - ready to enjoy!
Pour-over: an intimate experience with your coffee
If you want more control over the brewing process, the pour-over method is perfect for you. Here's how to do it:
- Boil water and let it steep for a few seconds until it reaches the ideal temperature, between 90°C and 96°C.
- Place a paper filter in your filter holder and moisten it with hot water to avoid unwanted aromas.
- Add one tablespoon of coffee for every 180ml of water, but if you're adventurous, feel free to adjust the proportions to suit you!
- Pour the hot water in circular motions, covering all the ground coffee with love and care.
- Let the coffee filter slowly. Extraction time will depend on your preference, but 2 to 3 minutes is generally a good starting point.
- Pour coffee into a preheated cup and immerse yourself in the intimate experience of tasting each sip.
The final touch: a moment of pleasure
Don't forget to preheat your cup before pouring the coffee into it. Each sip must be received at the ideal temperature and in the finest dishes. If desired, add a splash of freshly made whipped cream, frothed milk or a piece of artisan chocolate to further enhance the luxurious experience.
