Espresso

Espresso brews by forcing hot water under high pressure through finely ground beans, producing a strong, full-bodied shot topped with golden crema. Moreover, in addition to enjoying it on its own, espresso serves as the base for drinks such as cappuccino, latte, and Canadiano. This method emphasizes rich flavor and smooth texture in every cup.

Recipe
  • 18.5g coffee in
  • 35 seconds brew time
  • 44g output

Pour Over

Pour over brewing uses thinner filters than the Chemex, resulting in a cup with slightly more body while still maintaining clarity. Additionally, the controlled pour emphasizes the coffee’s subtle nuances and layered complexity. Therefore, this method is ideal for those who appreciate a well-balanced yet expressive cup.

Recipe
  • 17g coffee ground at #7 (Baratza Vario)
  • 280ml water at 200°F
Steps
  1. Pour 60ml of water to saturate the grounds and allow a 20-second bloom.
  2. Add the remaining water in a smooth, steady pour from the center outward.
  3. Stir lightly to encourage even extraction.

Aeropress

The Aeropress is a compact and versatile brewer loved for its clean, smooth, and full-flavored results. By using gentle air pressure to push hot water through finely ground coffee, it delivers a rich and aromatic cup in just minutes. Its lightweight design, quick brewing time, and consistent extraction make it a favorite choice for home brewers, travelers, and anyone who wants exceptional coffee with minimal effort.

Recipe
  • 16g medium-fine grind
  • 260ml water at 200°F
Steps
  1. Insert a paper filter, rinse it, and attach it to the Aeropress.
  2. Add 16g medium-fine coffee.
  3. Pour 260ml of 200°F water over the grounds.
  4. Stir gently (Make sure all the coffee are wet) and steep for 1 minute.
  5. Press slowly until you hear the hiss.

Coffee Origins

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, with traditions that go back centuries. Its diverse landscapes, high elevations, and unique microclimates create ideal conditions for coffee. These factors give Ethiopian beans a wide range of flavors and make them stand out worldwide.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica boasts eight coffee growing regions, the most famous of which is Tarrazú. Bounded by the Pacific Ocean in the west and the mountain range of the Cordillera Central in the east, it is a region of lush vegetation and breathtaking views. Above all, Tarrazú is an ideal location to grow Arabica coffee. High altitudes and a sedimentary soil composition flavour the smooth and fine acidity these coffees are famous for, while the nearby Pirrís river supplies the region with fresh water.

Roast Level

Medium-Light Roast

Medium light roast develops slightly longer, reducing acidity while keeping delicate flavors intact. Coffees at this level often have balanced brightness with subtle sweetness and complexity, offering more body than light roasts while still showcasing origin character.

Flavour Note

Sweet & Bright Coffee

Sweet & Bright Coffee in this Seasonal Espresso Medium-Light Roast delivers a lively, uplifting flavour profile with sparkling acidity and natural sweetness. Each sip opens with crisp citrus and delicate fruit notes, followed by soft caramel and honey-like sweetness that create a clean, refreshing finish. Its balanced clarity and gentle brightness make it an exceptional choice for espresso, offering a vibrant yet smooth cup that feels light, sweet, and effortlessly enjoyable.
