☕ 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
Audiel Moreno returns to our Producer Series with a new lot from Santa Barbara, Honduras. Part of the renowned Moreno family, who have helped shape specialty coffee in the region since 1963, Audiel represents the next generation of producers: thoughtful, precise and deeply committed to quality.
This lot is 100% Pacas, a natural Bourbon mutation known for its sweetness, soft structure and expressive acidity. While delicate to grow, Pacas can produce beautiful cup clarity when farmed with care. Cherries are selectively handpicked and transported by mule to his mother Juana’s wet mill. After depulping, the coffee undergoes a 14–16 hour dry fermentation before being fully washed, sorted and dried slowly on raised beds and in a solar dryer.
Audiel began farming at just 12 years old and inherited his first plot at 16. Today, he continues to build on his family’s legacy with quiet determination and pride. In the cup, expect a rich and comforting profile, with notes of honey and green apple.
