+Home Brew Guide
Although we love to use the French Press, there are several brewing methods you can use to achieve the ideal taste for your coffee. This guide will walk you through a few of our favorite methods for brewing gourmet coffee at home.
Coffee is personal! If you love quick, convenient tasty coffee on-the-go, using a Keurig may suit you well. However, if you enjoy taking your time to craft a full bodied cup, a French Press could fit your mood.

+Grinds Explained
-
Whole Bean: Grinding your own whole bean coffee ensures you brew the freshest pot of coffee around.The moment you grind a coffee bean, the surface area expands monumentally exposing the fresh grounds to fresh air – and oxygen is the enemy of fresh coffee.
French Press / Coarse Grind: Looking like large grounds of sea salt, coarse coffee is ground mainly French presses (our brewing method of choice) and percolators.
All Purpose Grind / Auto Drip: Sitting in the middle of the grind type spectrum, this coffee is evenly granular and used with standard drip coffee makers.
Keurig / All Purpose Grind: We have verified this grind to be best suited with universal reusable K-cups used in most Keurig coffee brewers.
Espresso / Fine Grind: Espresso grind is very fine yet you should still be able to feel small coffee grains. This grind is used when brewing espresso in an Espresso machine.
