Stone fruit up front. Milk chocolate on the finish. This one doesn’t ease you in, it opens with crisp grape and stone fruit acidity, then softens into a smooth, creamy mouthfeel of malt, almond and hazelnut.

Filter brewing is one of the most popular methods, known for producing a clean, balanced cup. It uses gravity instead of pressure (espresso machines) to extract the coffee from ground coffee, allowing the coffee to extract at a steady pace.

1. Grind the coffee: medium to coarse grind for drip. Or purchase Schibello Ground Coffee.

2. Measure the coffee and water: ratio is 1:15 (e.g., 20g coffee for 300g water).

4. Place the whole pour over unit including the ground coffee onto the scales and tare. The scale should say 0g.

6. Firstly, pour about 10-20% (30-60g) of the total (300g) of hot water slowly to cover the ground coffee and wait 30 sec. This will help the initial gas (CO2) inside the bean to escape and create a more consistent brew. This is commonly known as the Bloom* stage.

7. Pour around 80-100g of water onto the coffee in a circular motion then wait until it has mostly exited into the carafe. Repeat this process until the scale says 300g total weight.

8. Serve and store: drink immediately or keep warm in a thermal carafe.

*The bloom is the initial stage of brewing pour over coffee, when hot water is poured over freshly ground coffee. This process helps release carbon dioxide (CO2) from the coffee, causing the grounds to bubble and expand.

• Pour in stages for even extraction. Pouring too much water in one go can make the coffee taste watery.

• When pouring water into the coffee try not to let the water hit the side/ paper as it goes straight to the bottom and not extract as much coffee. This will make the coffee taste watery.

Filter coffee offers a clean, bright cup with nuanced flavours that come through clearly. It’s a great method for highlighting the subtle notes of specialty beans, offering an experience that feels refined and satisfying. The taste tends to be smooth, with a delicate body and a range of flavours depending on the roast and coffee origin.
