Filter Single Origin Roaster's Pick

Single Origin Coffee refers to coffee beans that come from a specific geographic region or farm, rather than being a blend of beans from different places. This type of coffee emphasises the unique flavours and characteristics of a particular area's coffee-growing conditions, such as altitude, climate, and soil. Single origin coffees are often favoured by coffee enthusiasts who appreciate the distinct and nuanced flavours that can result from these specific growing conditions.

In short, the main difference between "Filter Roast" and "Espresso Roast" lies in their roast levels and intended brewing methods. Filter Roasts are a lighter roast intended for methods like pour-over, Aeropress, and cold brew. It maintains natural flavours, has higher acidity, and offers subtle nuances. Espresso Roasts are a darker roast designed for espresso machines. It develops bolder, caramelised flavours, has lower acidity, and works well with milk-based drinks and intense single shots.

Filter Single Origin Coffee can be brewed to bring out its nuanced flavors through various methods. Common techniques include the pour-over method, which involves manual pouring of hot water over coffee grounds in a filter, enabling precise control over brewing time and water flow. For larger quantities, automatic drip coffee makers like the Moccamaster can be used, with the caveat of adjusting grind size to match brewing time. The AeroPress, a versatile method employing air pressure to create a strong and flavorful cup, is another option. Even the French Press, known for full-bodied blends, can accentuate the unique qualities of single origin beans. Lastly, cold brewing over an extended period produces a smoother, less acidic cup that's perfect for appreciating the subtleties of single origin coffee.

To ensure the Coffee stays fresh and flavourful, adhere to these storage guidelines: Purchase whole beans and grind them just before brewing to preserve the coffee's aromatic and taste qualities. Store the beans in a cool, dark place to shield them from heat, light, moisture, and oxygen, all of which can compromise quality. It's advisable to use airtight containers or vacuum-canisters for storage. Contrary to common belief, refraining from freezing the coffee is recommended, as freezing can lead to moisture condensation on the beans, negatively impacting flavour. Instead, aim to consume the coffee within a month of roasting to enjoy the optimal experience.

How Much Coffee Should I Order?How much coffee you should order really depends on how many cups you drink in a day and in a week, and also how you brew your coffee (manual, automatic, strength, etc!) We offer quantities as low as 250g and as much as 1kg if you prefer more. To give you an idea, 500g of coffee a month will give you about 1-2 cups of coffee a day.
