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.
- 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.

FAQ
Yes. Our capsules are made from aluminum, which preserves freshness and protects flavour exceptionally well. Aluminum is widely recyclable — check with your local recycling or specialty collection programs.
Absolutely. Your subscription is flexible — swap coffees or update grind size whenever you like.
Yes. It dissolves in cold water, milk, or oat milk, and works straight over ice. Cold takes a few more turns of the spoon than hot does. That's the only difference.
Yes. You’re in control. You can adjust, pause, skip shipments or cancel anytime through your account.
Yes — you’ll find simple brewing guides on our website to help you get the best out of every cup.

We work with trusted importers and producers who prioritize quality, transparency, and responsible farming practices. We value long-term relationships and thoughtful sourcing.
For details about how a specific coffee is sourced, visit its individual product page — we share origin information and context wherever possible.
Choose your coffee, select your delivery frequency, and we’ll take care of the rest. Fresh coffee delivered automatically — no extra effort required.
Very. We roast in small batches throughout the week and ship shortly after roasting so it arrives at peak flavour.
For best flavour, we recommend enjoying your coffee within three weeks of roast — that’s when it’s at its peak. Properly stored, it can still be enjoyed for up to three months before you’ll notice more significant flavour loss.
A good starting point is a 1:17 ratio (1 gram of coffee to 17 grams of water). Adjust to taste.
Keep it in a cool, dry place in its original bag with the seal closed. No need to refrigerate.

- Whole Bean – best if you have a grinder at home
- Espresso – fine
- Drip / Pour Over – medium
- French Press – coarse
If you’re unsure, whole bean gives you the most flexibility.

The coffee is the same coffee we roast in Victoria. From there it goes to Hasty Coffee, a Canadian specialty instant producer, who freeze dries it slowly so the water comes off without heat. Nothing gets cooked out of it on the way to the sachet.
Blends are crafted for balance and reliability — think comfort, consistency, and everyday excellence. Single origins showcase the character of one farm or region — often brighter, more expressive, and seasonal.
Both are roasted with the same care. It simply depends on what kind of experience you’re after.
Our blends are especially versatile and pair beautifully with milk. Many of our single origins also perform well as espresso — check the tasting notes for guidance.
Aluminum offers superior oxygen protection and shelf life compared to compostable materials. It ensures the coffee tastes as intended when you brew it.
Coffee is an agricultural product affected by harvest conditions, global markets, and exchange rates. We price thoughtfully to support producers while keeping our coffee accessible.
Due to current instability in our trade partnership with the US cross-border shipping has been unpredictable, inconsistent and expensive. Rather than risk delays or complications and unfair shipping costs we’ve chosen to focus on reliable Canadian delivery.
