Can you grind the coffee for me?

Yes. When placing an order you will have the option of ordering beans, or a particular grind (plunger, stovetop, drip, etc).

The coffee shot is coming out very weak from my home espresso machine? What's the problem?

This problem can be caused by:

1) The grind of the coffee is too coarse. To correct this, adjust the grinder to make the coffee finer.

2) Not enough coffee is being dosed into the portafilter.

3) The coffee is not being tamped down hard enough in the portafilter.

Do you have a shop front? Can I pick up the coffee rather than pay postage?

No. To keep our costs down we do not operate from a shop front. All our coffee is delivered.

How long should I keep ground coffee, and where should I store it?

How do I brew plunger coffee?

Heat plunger with hot water. Add a dessert spoon or 7-10 grams of ground coffee per cup. Fill with fresh spring or filtered water just off the boil. Allow coffee grinds to float to top, allow crust to form. Let brew for 4-5 minutes then break crust with spoon. Once coffee has sunk to the bottom gently plunge.
