Select the coffee by brewing method

We have a wide selection of coffee beans. And then again, it can be difficult to choose which bean is best for you right now. To make it a little easier, you can now also choose by brewing method.

You can do this via the Coffee  menu in the main menu, so at the top of this page. On small screens, the menu is collapsed and is located at the top left.

The brewing method is also available via the search filter on the list of coffee beans. By clicking on Filter, a pop-up screen opens on the right of the screen. In that, under More filters, there is a list of characteristics by which the coffee can be selected. 

every brewing method is different

Why does one coffee work better in an espresso machine than another? And why wouldn't you make an espresso in a fast filter device?

Every brewing method is different. For example: with an espresso machine you extract much more flavor from your coffee beans than with a filter machine. In addition, the result is very different from a filter machine. The balance between all aromas is therefore different.
Espresso blends are composed and optimally roasted (usually darker than filter coffee), so that the balance between all aromas in coffee from an espresso machine is optimal. 

Filter coffee - from a machine, Chemex, etc. - is more forgiving than espresso. This means that you can drink a lot of coffee as filter coffee without it having a very unpleasant flavor profile. Espresso beans in a filter machine are less disappointing than filter coffee from an espresso machine.
But due to the dark roast of espresso, we find these blends a bit heavy for filter.

Brewing advice

That is why we also work with brewing advice. Based on our experience and expertise, we indicate for each coffee which brewing methods we recommend this coffee for. 

It remains, of course - as always - a matter of taste. So if you like espresso with fruity notes, or a "tanginess" in your coffee, then you can also, for example, put a Kenyan coffee bean in your espresso machine. 

So just try it out. Maybe that one espresso bean is perfect in a French Press. You never know.
