How to brew it
- Filter (V60, Chemex) Ideal for this coffee
- 15 g of coffee to 250 g of water (60 g per litre), medium-fine grind and water at 90–96 °C. Wet all the coffee first and let it release its gas. Sour or thin: grind finer. Dry or harsh: grind coarser.
- Espresso Ideal for this coffee
- Fine grind. Start from your usual recipe and change one thing at a time: if the shot runs too fast, grind finer; if it barely flows, grind coarser.
Other methods
- Moka pot
- Medium-fine grind, a little coarser than for espresso. Look for a steady flow and take it off the heat when the coffee stops coming through.
- French press
- Medium-coarse to coarse grind. If the cup tastes flat, go one step finer; if it is harsh or silty, go coarser.
Questions
How does the recurring purchase work?
You choose the size, the grind and how often you want it. It arrives automatically, with the plan discount on every delivery, and the subscription renews until you cancel it. No commitment: from your account you can skip a delivery, or pause or cancel it whenever you like. To change the coffee, size, grind or frequency, write to us at hola@ciano.coffee.
Whole bean or ground?
If you have a grinder, whole bean: ground coffee loses its aroma sooner. If not, choose the grind for your coffee maker in the options above.
How should I store it?
In an airtight container, somewhere cool and dry, away from direct light, and better out of the fridge. Ideally, buy the coffee you will drink in 2 to 4 weeks.
What does SCA 83 mean?
It is this lot’s score from the importer’s cupping, on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) scale, out of 100. From 80 points up, a coffee counts as specialty.
