Read GuideQuick Brewing Tips
The fundamentals of a better cup.
Use a scale, always
Volume measurements are inaccurate. 1g of espresso isn't 1ml — weigh your coffee and your water every time.
Grind fresh
Pre-ground coffee goes stale within 15–30 minutes. A burr grinder pays for itself in flavour improvement.
Water quality matters
Use filtered water between 150–250ppm TDS. Distilled water makes flat coffee; tap water in India is often too mineral-heavy.
Rest your beans
Freshly roasted beans need 5–12 days to degas. The best window for most filter methods is 7–21 days post-roast.
Clean your equipment
Rancid coffee oils are the silent killer of great cups. Rinse daily, deep-clean weekly.
Brew FAQ
Your questions, answered.
We roast every batch to order and dispatch within 48 hours of roasting. Most customers receive their beans 2–5 days post-roast — still in the optimal degassing window for best flavour.
