Things You'll Need for the Perfect Brew
Before you begin, make sure you have:
Specialty Coffee Beans
The journey starts with the freshest beans. To elevate your coffee ritual, we recommend our best-selling Yirgacheffe Haru Natural a bright and fruity experience that captures the true essence of specialty coffee.
Coffee Grinder
Freshly ground = maximum flavor. Level up your brew with our precision grinders Varia EVO Hybrid Hand Grinder for consistent, dialed-in extraction.
Spoon to Mix & Stir
Even the simplest tools can transform your cup. A good stir ensures your grounds are evenly extracted for a smoother, balanced brew. For precision and style, we recommend the Hario Cupping Spoon – Tetsu Kasuya Model — designed by World Brewers Cup Champion Tetsu Kasuya.
Gram Scale
Consistency in every pour. If you don’t have one yet, use this quick guide: 1 Tbsp ≈ 15g coffee.
Timer
Great coffee is about timing. Your phone’s timer works perfectly for tracking bloom and total brew time.
Hot Water Kettle
Any kettle will do. For ideal extraction, aim for 92–96°C (or boil, then rest ~30 seconds before pouring) and pour slowly for control.
