Frequently asked questions

What is the best coffee grind size for cafetière?

A medium grind is best for cafetière coffee. If the grind size is too fine, you'll be left with lots of sediment in your cup. Too course a grind and you'll get a weaker coffee.

How much coffee should I use?

We recommend 60g of ground coffee per litre of water.

What is the ideal water temperature?

Just off the boil is best. We recommend boiling the kettle and waiting a few minutes, before adding to the cafetière.

Why does my cafetière coffee taste bitter?

Common causes for bitter coffee are using coffee that is too finely ground, over-steeping, or using boiling water.
