How to Brew
Espresso
This coffee works beautifully as a bright, sweet, and aromatic espresso.
Starting point
- Use 18 to 19 grams of coffee
- Aim for 35 to 38 grams in the cup
- Brew for 25 to 35 seconds
- Use water at 93 to 94 °C
Helpful tips
- Distribute the coffee evenly and tamp it consistently before brewing.
- If the espresso tastes sharp or sour, grind a little finer or brew slightly longer.
- If it tastes hollow or bitter, stop the shot sooner or grind a little coarser.
What you’re aiming for
A sweet, floral espresso with gentle acidity and a clean finish.

- Use a 1:15 ratio, for example 20g coffee to 300g water
- Use water at 94 to 96 °C
- Use a medium to medium fine grind for V60, or a medium grind for Clever Dripper
- Rinse your filter and add the coffee
- Pour about 60g of water and wait 30 to 45 seconds
- Then add the rest of the water
