Same Bean, Different Brew
One coffee. Multiple methods. Discover how brew technique transforms the cup.
What happens when you brew the exact same coffee using different methods? In this tasting lab, you’ll explore how brew method alone can dramatically affect flavour, texture and aroma — even when everything else stays the same.
Using a single origin roasted for versatility, we’ll guide you through four distinct brewing styles — from immersion to filter to pressure. You’ll taste how each method reveals different layers of the coffee and come away with a sharper understanding of how to choose the right method for your preferences or mood.
