☕ Grind Guide
Choose the grind that matches your brewer. Each grind is dialled to bring out balance, sweetness and clarity.
| Grind Type | Best For | Texture | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole Freshest | Home grinders | Whole beans | Maximum freshness & full control. Grind right before brewing. |
| Espresso | Espresso machines | Fine (table salt) | Calibrated for a rich, syrupy shot and balanced crema under pressure. |
| Stovetop | Moka pot / stovetop | Medium-fine | A touch coarser than espresso for gentle pressure and chocolatey body. |
| Filter | Pour over, batch, Aeropress | Medium | Clean, balanced cups that highlight origin character. |
| Plunger / Cold Brew | French press / cold brew / immersion | Coarse (sea salt) | Slow, even extraction for a smooth, rounded brew. |
🔧 Brew Guide
| Method | Ratio | Brew Time | Water Temp | Pro Tip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Espresso | 1:2 (e.g. 20g → 40g out) | 25–30 sec | 93–95 °C | If the shot runs fast, go finer; if it chokes, go coarser. |
| Stovetop (Moka) | ~1:8 | Until gentle gurgle stops | 90–94 °C | Start with hot water to reduce bitterness; remove from heat early. |
| Filter / Pour Over | 1:15 (20g → 300g) | 2.5–3.5 min | 92–94 °C | Pour in slow circles; aim for flat bed and even drawdown. |
| Plunger / French Press | 1:14 | 4 min | ~93 °C | Stir, steep, skim the crust, then press slowly for a cleaner cup. |
| Whole Beans | — | — | — | Grind immediately before brewing to capture aromatics. |
Water quality matters. If possible, use filtered water (~75–150 ppm). Taste and tweak: finer grind = slower/stronger, coarser = faster/lighter.
COFFEE INFORMATION
We'd like to welcome back Ramón Rodríguez to our menu for another year as we showcase freshly harvested coffees from the Santa Barbara region of Honduras.
In the hills of El Cedral, Ramón Rodríguez grows Bourbon and Pacas on a small farm he inherited from his father in 1982. The farm sits at an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level, and in previous years Ramón's coffee faired well in competitions - making it to the finals in the prestigious Honduras Cup of Excellence.
Expect opulent dark chocolate sweetness and a refreshing marzipan flavour in the cup.
Country/Region:
