Blocks/CoffeeDetail-Decaf-Espresso

We publish all the sourcing information (variety, process, region, story, importer, and more) that our importers share and give us permission to—both for single origins and blend components.

This helps us talk confidently about the quality and background of our product, and it helps you know exactly what you’re buying.

Our coffee philosophy
Our business approach

We only source and roast coffee from each country’s latest harvest season (so the green coffee is never older than 1 year from the time of picking, processing and packing). This ensures the sensory qualities are always at their peak and unaffected by excessive ageing.

Roast style: omni. Omni roasts are designed to brew and taste great both as espresso and filter. Our decaf roast sits somewhere between our single origins and espresso blend profiles.

Designed for espresso and filter brewing. This decaf is well enjoyed as black and/or with milk.

The ‘fresh is best’ saying doesn’t apply to coffee (contrary to popular belief). Waiting before opening and brewing your bag of whole coffee beans helps develop peak flavour and acidity.

But decaf coffee ages faster than non-decaf coffee, due to the decaffeination process affecting the bean structure—that’s why the recommended window is shorter and earlier than that of our caffeinated blends and single origins.
Heads up: if you buy pre-ground coffee, brew it as soon as possible.

Our recipes and ratios are tailored to our coffee sourcing and roasting styles, bringing the best flavour and feel out of each coffee.

For pour over, immersion, and other filter brewing styles, check our brew guides.
For our espresso single origins, we recommend a coffee:yield ratio of 1:3:

• Dose: 20g ground coffee
• Yield: 60g espresso
• Total brew time: ~24-28 seconds

This is just a starting point! We encourage you to experiment, taste, and adjust to find the recipe that you enjoy the most.
