ANSWER FOR
Frequently asked questions
-
1. Is it really better to drink freshly ground coffee??
As soon as you grind your coffee beans, they become exposed to oxygen, which causes the beautiful aromatic oils to evaporate. When you drink freshly ground coffee you get all those delicious oils and the taste that you love so much right in your cup, instead disappearing into the air. -
2. What's so great about pourover coffee?
Pourovers are very hands on and are ideal for the coffee connoisseur who loves the ritual of coffee-making. This process gives the drinker full control, so you’ll end up with a more balanced coffee and a flavour profile that you can easily altered to suit your specific taste. Pourovers are loved for their smooth, rounded flavour that comes from handpouring the water over the coffee and is thus hard for a machine to replicate. -
3. What's the difference between a single origin coffee versus a blend?
A single origin coffee is just as it says - one bean sourced from one place. A blend mixes different coffee beans together, creating a fusion of flavours. Mocha Java coffee is one of the first coffee blends in the world, hailing back to when the Europeans would sail to Indonesia (the 'java') for its coffee offerings. On the way back, they would pass through Yemen in the very busy port of Mocha picking up more coffee to complete the blend.
