- Your preferred brew method from the following
V60 (Drip Brew)
If you’re just getting into coffee, drip brewing is a great place to start. You’ll probably have seen someone using a hand-brew dripper before – an inverted cone-shaped funnel slowly draining extracted coffee through a filter.
Cafetiere (French Press)
The trusty classic! - Bottled water
- Most importantly, Union Hand-Roasted Coffee!
- We wouldn’t want you to miss out! Please ensure you have zoom downloaded beforehand.
- Did you know that coffee is best enjoyed fresh? Keep it stored tightly closed, or in a container. If you are not using it all within a week or two, close tightly and pop in a freezer, taking out the amount you need at a time. Fridges are to be avoided, as they are often full of strong smell which can impart into your coffee.
- Water makes a difference! Use filtered water when possible. For the right temperature, use water just off the boil - boiling water can burn your grounds and impart bitter flavours.
- Experiment with your coffee taste! High quality speciality coffee has varied natural taste notes, emphasised by the roast. Everything from terroir to varietal to processing method, and finally brewing, makes a difference to the taste of your cup. Tasting two different coffees side by side can be a revelation! We recommend trying your coffee first black, before adding milk or sugar, so you can taste the pure flavour.
- Measure the quantity of coffee to water ratio with kitchen scales if you have them. This makes a big difference to the taste of your cup.
