GuideHow to choose
Nitrogen & vacuum sealing
Every pack is sealed in a protective atmosphere — first vacuum, then nitrogen — to remove oxygen. Unopened, the coffee stays fresh for up to about 2 months after roasting. Shelf life depends a lot on temperature and season: a little less in summer, a little more in winter.
Roast profile
We roast in two profiles, depending on your brewing method:
- Light — great for V60/Aeropress, for those who want brighter acidity and lots of aromatics. Recommended for all pressure-free methods (filter, Aeropress and similar).
- Medium — great for espresso/Moka, for those who want a more intense flavour with a hint of bitterness. Recommended for espresso and Moka.
Grind
Any grind works, as long as it suits your method. With us you can choose whole beans, or pre-ground for Moka or for filter.
Shelf life
For the best taste, enjoy it within 10–45 days of roasting (60 at most). The roast date is always printed on the label.
