Our speciality roasted coffee is created for purpose, based on the style of brewing you are most familiar with, or use day to day. However, in this case our roast is purposely crafted as an “all rounder” which can be used for any brew method you prefer!
What's the big difference? Well, our espresso roasts are typically roasted for a longer period of time, at a higher temperature which makes the grind easier to dissolve in less amounts of water as the grinds are more soluble. Perfect for a 1:2 espresso brew.
Filter roasts are typically roasted at lower temperatures for a shorter period of time producing an extremely clear picture of the roast's flavour profiles without being interrupted by the interfering “roast” flavour.
In this case, our all rounders sit somewhere in the middle (but closer to an espresso roast), we’ve been able to roast out the sourness an espresso roast typically has when filter brewed, yet been able to retain the sweetness and cut out the acidity when espresso brewing! Magic, we know!
If you are unsure, grab a sample, or a few samples! Each roast has their own unique blend of flavours and samples are the best way for you to find your perfect roast.
