Brew Guide

These brew guides are built by our Roastery team to help you brew great coffee, every time. Each method outlines a clear process designed to bring out the best in your coffee.

Fundamentals

Preheat your brewing vessel
Weigh your ingredients
Make sure your brewing vessel is clean
Use water that is almost but not quite boiling
Make sure to wet all the grounds evenly
Rinse any paper filters with hot water before use
Be sure to grind the coffee to the correct coarseness for the brewer you are using
Fresh coffee will "bloom" which is CO2 being released as hot water hits the coffee
To adjust strength change the grind, not the ratio of coffee to water. For stronger tasting coffee grind finer for less intense flavor coarsen your grind.

Conical Pour Over

Wet filter with boiling water and discard water
Put in 20 grams of medium ground coffee
Pour in 100 grams of water & allow coffee to bloom
Pour in remaining 240 grams of water little by little & use the stream of the water to push any grounds off the sides of the filter
When all water is in stir once in a circular motion
Let drip till done

Chemex

Wet filter with boiling water
Put in 40 grams of medium ground coffee
Pour in 200 grams of water & allow coffee to bloom
Pour in remaining 480 grams of water little by little & use the stream of the water to push any grounds off the sides of the filter
Let drip till done

Aeropress

Place the top portion of the brewer upside down on table
Fit the bottom section over the rubber basket (At this point the numbers should be upside down on both parts of the brewer.)
Put in 15 grams of medium ground coffee
Pour in hot water to top (around 250 grams)
Stir and make sure there are no dry grounds hiding at the bottom
Let sit for 45 seconds
Affix the filter cap with a wetted paper filter into the fitting (this should be at the top at this point) and depress a tiny bit so the slurry is close to the filter.
Carefully invert the entire brewer onto your heated mug and press to the bottom.

Moka Pot

Add preheated water to the fill line.
Grind your coffee to a medium setting, similar to table salt. Add 15-17 grams to the filter basket.
Screw on the top portion of the brewer. Careful as it will be hot.
Place brewer on your burner over medium heat.
Open the lid to view the brewing and remove from the burner when the stream starts to go from brown to blonde.
Enjoy straight up or add some hot water for a mellower cup.

Espresso Machine

Grind coffee very fine. It should be similar to confectioners sugar.
Weigh your dose. 19 grams is a good starting point.
Distribute the ground coffee as evenly as possible. There are tools for this or you can do it by hand.
Tamp the coffee, making sure the bed of grounds is as level as possible.
Purge your group head by running a small amount of water into the drip tray.
Insert the portafilter and engage the brew right away.
The shot should take several seconds to start flowing and the total time should be around 30 seconds.
If you are making a milk drink you can steam the milk while your shot is pouring.

A few espresso fundamentals:

Always brew with a clean, hot, dry portafilter.
Use your hand to swipe away any loose grounds on the rim or tabs of the portafilter before inserting to brew.
If the shot is running too slow you need to coarsen the grind. If the shot is running too fast fine the grind.
Make grind adjustments in small increments.
Always pull a couple of shots after an adjustment before deciding whether or not to readjust.
Always purge off a bit of steam before and after you steam milk to clean the wand out. Never soak the steam wand or leave it submerged in milk.

Perfect pairings

Great coffee

I’m a fan, this is my favorite coffee.

The best coffee I've ever had!

My partner and I have been looking for a coffee we love for awhile now that is reasonably priced and from Canada. A friend recommended Fernwood and we are so grateful they did. The 1976 Espresso is delicious, and even though it comes all the way from BC to NS, we love it so much and look forward to it's arrival every other month. Excellent taste, fast shipping, quality brand and company.

1976

Love this coffee and because it isn’t oily it’s perfect for auto coffe makers

Love it!

A delicious morning brew! Our favourite!

My go to brew

Smells great, tastes great, everything you need and want from a coffee.

Dependable, delicious

I enjoy serving coffee to guests and everyone loves it. Roast is favourable for my notoriously finicky automatic espresso machine. I’ll be drinking this for years.

Our Office is Addicted!

My entire team is fully reliant on these beans. Our espresso machine loves them. We always need more. Thanks Fernwood team!!

We love it!!

We've been subscribed for 6 months and absolutely love this coffee. It took us a while to find the right one, and it's been great since.

Also, their customer service is on point. They take care of any issues thrown your way. I highly recommend!

BEST COFFEE EVER!

I received a bag of 1967 as a gift from my husband who isn’t a coffee drinker, but wow, this is hands down the best coffee I’ve ever had and is best with dairy. I’ve reordered 1967 multiple times since then and have yet to find anything that tops this roast. I’m not a fan of the brighter, acidic, and fruitier coffees. Fernwood absolutely nails easy-to-drink but high quality medium and dark roasts. 1967 sets the bar for a solid cup of no-nonsense coffee.

Perfect on the Jura

We have the Jura E8 at work and it processes this one perfectly. Delicious on my opinion.

Great start to the morning

Love the 1976 espresso. Subscription is great and I never run out of fresh beans. I love the feature of being able to pause the subscription if I am away on vacation or have enough on hand. If I have extra bags of beans I sometimes give them as gifts to friends and family. Love supporting local.

Consistently the best

I rarely settle for buying coffee out, because I prefer to make my Cortados at home with 1976 espresso beans.

The only coffee I buy

I try other ones. But I always come back to a reasonably priced and best tasting brew

Unfair Coffee

Fernwood is not Timmies, not Starbucks, Not sure if a coffee god is legit. Somehow, I think each of the tiny little beans from Fernwood is an egg from some strange coffee god. Quietly shared amongst people who truly appreciate clean, aromatic and fresh beans turned into delicious, lattes, shots and every other way a coffee is appreciated. The morning coffee beans transform the kitchen into a happy place. The fragrance, the taste come together collectively. Happiness achieved 100% ;-) FERNWOOD keep it real, don't get too big, don't abuse the love for your beans. Keep it real.

Thank you !

Best Coffee!

We have tried so many different brands and we always come back to Fernwood. It is the best!

3rd week of subscription

Totally pleased with the 1976 Espresso coffee beans. Loving every cup of coffee whether is a pour over, cappuccino, or latte. Subscription is the way to go!

Great flavor everytime

Have been ordering these beans since purchasing my espresso machine 3 years ago and the consistency in flavor and how the beans perform in my machine is fantastic!

Excellent coffee

Moved to Ontario from Victoria and haven’t been able to find a comparable coffee!

We may move, but this coffee stays

We moved from Victoria, and the hardest part was losing Fernwood coffee lol. Glad we don't have to give it up cause now we got a subscription !

Good quality espresso!

All around good espresso. I picked up both the 1936 and 1976 beans, and I prefer the 1936 (a bit more flavourful and darker, I find), but this good stuff! A good old cup of Joe

Love our fernwood espresso!! Full flavour.

Very good expresso

I enjoyed the decaf in BC but really enjoyed the expresso at home .

1076 Espresso- delish

Rich, smooth and bold this espresso does not disappoint! Subscribe so I never run out… LOVE! ❤️

Amazing espresso--Faithful Customer!

Espresso arrived quickly and was the same great quality roast as always. Best deal on high quality espresso that I've found.

The best for at home espresso

Being a former resident of Victoria I fell in love with Fernwood coffee. Later in adulthood I purchased an at home espessso machine and tried so many beans before realizing I could buy fernwood espresso. I look forward to my morning coffee and love that I’m supporting a Vancouver island business.

Smooth coffee and service!

The coffee ia great! A favorite for ourselves and visitors! The service and delivery time was amazing - super fast!! I will be requesting our next order in the near future!!

Best coffee in town

Plus the subscription service is top notch. Delicious coffee beans delivered right to your doorstep? Yes please.

Best beans ever

We’ve tried many different beans since upgrading our espresso machine, and these have been by far the tastiest. Time and again we’ll try a small bag of something new, but we always come back to these. They are a staple in our home now and will continue to be.

Best beans for the machine!

Perfect bean for the coffee machine we have.

New Parent

Got a new espresso machine this year and switched to Fernwood 1976 espresso. Smooth, deep flavour, not over roasted, makes great crema, and keeps the day going.

best of the best!

My favourite coffee

This is my favourite coffee nowadays. The flavour and the aroma are amazing and it has everything I look for in a coffee
