Unleashing the Caffeine Superpowers

Welcome to our caffeinated realm, where each cup is a journey into the mystical. Join us as we explore the intricacies of brewing coffee with the flair of Billy, the brain-dead billy goat who stumbled upon the legendary coffee beans over a millennium ago.

The Magic Behind the Beans: From Cherry Tree to Cup

Our coffee beans, harvested from ancient cherry tree groves, possess qualities that elevate your brewing experience. These beans are the foundation of the caffeine superpowers you'll soon unlock.

Choosing Your Beans: Selecting the Right Potion Ingredients

Begin your quest by selecting the perfect beans. For espresso lovers, a finely ground blend is the key, while Moka pot enthusiasts will appreciate a medium grind. Measure out your beans precisely - a standard ratio is 1:2 for espresso, ensuring a robust and concentrated brew.

Grinding Rituals: Transforming Beans into Magic Dust

Enter the world of grinding, where the alchemy of flavors begins. For espresso, opt for a fine grind resembling powdered sugar. Moka pot aficionados should aim for a medium-fine consistency. Each method demands a different grind size to extract the unique qualities from our specialty coffee beans.

Brewing Spells: Creating the Perfect Potion

Espresso Enchantment:

   - Use 20-22 grams of finely ground beans for a double shot.

   - Extract for approximately 25-30 seconds to achieve the perfect balance of flavours – a symphony of boldness and richness.

 The perfect pairing for this method is our Anatolian Black Bean or our fruity and light Kiko Bean 

Moka Pot Magic:

   - Measure 1-2 tablespoons of medium-fine grounds per cup.

   - Brew on medium heat, and in a few minutes, witness the transformation of your kitchen into a potion-brewing sanctuary.


French Press Fantasy:

   - Employ a coarse grind (like breadcrumbs) for this immersive brewing experience.

   - Steep for 4 minutes, and with each press, feel the robust, full-bodied flavors come to life. 


V60 Voyage:

   - Embrace the artistry of pour-over with a medium-coarse grind.

   - Pour water in a circular motion, allowing the coffee to bloom. Explore the nuances as you savour each sip.

Pair this method with our Beetal Bean, a versatile bean that works well with various brewing methods, but especially on a V60


Cold Brew Conjuring:

   - Grind coffee beans coarsely (resembling breadcrumbs).

   - Steep in cold water for 12-24 hours for a smooth, low-acid potion perfect for hot summer days.
