Our coffee roastery has prepared for you a guide to the most popular brewing methods. Discover which one best suits your lifestyle and taste preferences.
Dripper V60: precision and purity of taste
Have you ever heard of the drip method? What is it? A dripper or drip coffee maker is a hand-held brewing device that allows hot water to be poured slowly over beans placed in a paper filter. This process allows subtle flavour notes to be brought out that may be suppressed with other methods. The Hario V60 is one of the most popular coffee drippers, prized by baristas the world over. And what makes drip coffee so special?
- Pure, distinctive flavour.
- Ability to bring out subtle flavour and aroma notes.
- This is ideal for light and medium roasted single origin coffees.
Our coffee manufactory offers a wide range of freshly roasted coffee ideal for this method. The key to success is the correct degree of grinding of the beans and precise dosage of water.
French Press: rich and aromatic coffee in just a few minutes
The French Press is a method that never goes out of fashion. Why? Because it's simple, yet allows you to bring out the depth of flavour from each bean. If you like your coffee full of flavour and aroma, the French Press will be an excellent choice. This classic brewing method, also known as the French Press, produces a thick brew with deep flavour. The principle of the French Press is simple - ground coffee is poured over hot water and after a few minutes, the brew is separated from the grounds using a metal filter with a plunger. The advantages of this method of brewing coffee are:
- Full body and intense flavour.
- Ideal for medium and dark roasted coffees.
- Great for experimenting with extraction time.
The French Press will work well when you want to enjoy a coffee with a full body and intense flavour notes. This method perfectly extracts all the essential oils contained in the coffee, giving the drink a rich, complex flavour. In our coffee shop, you will not only find high-quality French Presses, such as this one from the renowned Italian brand Bialetti, but also freshly roasted coffee that will work perfectly with this method. Remember that coffee from a French Press tastes best just after brewing!
Espresso: the essence of coffee in a small cup
Espresso is the essence of coffee in its purest form. It is a method that gives a quick, strong boost of energy and an intense taste experience. Espresso is brewed under high pressure, which allows all the flavours and aromas of the coffee beans to be extracted quickly. It is the ideal choice for those who enjoy a coffee with high intensity, rich body and deep aroma. Espresso is a good base for many coffee drinks, but it is also the method that brings out the most intense flavour from the coffee beans. The characteristics of brewing coffee using this method are:
- Full concentration of flavour and aroma.
- Characteristic crema on the surface.
- It requires the right equipment and skills.
To make the perfect espresso, you not only need good quality beans, but also the right accessories, such as coffee tampers and coffee frother. If you want to upgrade the quality of your home café, it is definitely worth betting on good quality coffee, such as the Amico dall'Italia Espresso Roast available in our shop. Although you will find beans from sunny Brazil in the packet, they have been roasted in true Italian style – they are dark, aromatic and produce a very intense, deep-tasting brew.
