BREWING RECIPES
Check here for different ways of brewing!
Chemex
The Chemex is a pour-over brewer with a glass carafe and thick paper filters. It slows extraction, which creates more body while keeping clarity and brightness. The result is a refined cup with depth, a clean finish, and a balanced profile.
Recipe
- 32g medium-coarse coffee (#6 Baratza Vario)
- 500 ml water at 200°F
Steps
- Saturate the grounds with 70 ml of water and let them bloom for 30 seconds.
- From the center, pour 230 ml in one slow, steady stream.
- Let the coffee rest for 20 seconds, then pour the last 200 ml.
- Stir gently with a spoon in a circular motion.
Espresso
Espresso brews by forcing hot water under pressure through fine grounds, producing a strong shot with golden crema. This method highlights rich flavor and smooth texture in every cup.
You can drink it alone or use it as the base for cappuccino, latte, or Canadiano.
- Start with a dose of 20–21 grams of coffee.
- Adjust the yield to reach a 50 gram output.
- Set the grind so extraction takes 28–30 seconds.
- Enjoy your Single Origin Light Roast espresso—G2G!

Single Origin
Single Origin coffee comes from one farm, cooperative, or region. It lets you taste flavors unique to that location. Unlike blends, which mix beans from many sources, single origin coffees highlight the land, climate, and farming practices behind them.

Light Roast
A Light Roast brings out the bean’s natural flavors while keeping its origin clear. It creates a lighter body with lively acidity and tasting notes of citrus, berries, florals, and honeyed sweetness. By roasting lightly, the coffee keeps its freshness and complexity.
This method also highlights the farm’s soil, altitude, and climate. Perfect for single origin coffees, a Single Origin Light Roast delivers a bright, refreshing, and nuanced cup.
