What can I brew it with?

Anything you already own. Grind fine for an espresso machine or a moka pot, medium for a cafetière, filter or pour-over.

For a cafetière, use about 60 grams a litre, leave it four minutes and stir once halfway to break the crust. The beans are roasted in small batches in North Lincolnshire and arrive with at least three months on the date. Once opened, keep the bag sealed and drink it within a couple of weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Is it earthy?

Yes. That's part of its charm. It's a natural result of how Sumatran coffee is processed.

Does it work with milk?

Nicely, the chocolate and spice come forward, and the earthiness softens.

Is it bitter?

Not harsh, more savoury and deep. Think warm spices, not burnt coffee.
