Collection: Cold Brew and Summer Drinks

For preparation in a hand filter, or the automatic filter machine are best suited medium to light filter roasts. Everything you can find in our "Filter" section. If you are more into a strong body, then you can also use an espresso roast.

If your coffee tastes bitter, you can try the following: 1. adjust your brew ratio. This is the ratio of coffee powder to water that you use. We recommend that you do not measure the coffee by the spoonful, as this is extremely inaccurate, but that you weigh it out. If you use an exact recipe, but your coffee still tastes bitter, you can: 2. grind your coffee a little coarser. Still tastes so-so? Then, 3. Adjust your water. Your filter coffee is 98% water. That's why you should only use tap water, for example, if it's really good. Very hard water can distort the extraction of your coffee and bring unwanted flavours into the coffee.

Sure, if your recipe is right but you're still feeling unsure, our "Filter Coffee" coffee course is sure to do the trick. You'll learn from the professionals in the specialty coffee industry.

Yes, you can buy our Decaf as filter roast too.

Coffee is best stored in an airtight container. There are special tins that create a vacuum and are thus particularly aroma-safe, but you can also leave your beans in the packaging and always seal it carefully. By the way: the darker your roast is, the faster it loses its aromas. So you should use it up more quickly. The same applies to ground filter coffee!

No - coffee does not belong in the fridge. This is because it quickly absorbs odours and loses its own coffee aromas. Therefore, simply store your coffee in a cool, dark place, preferably in airtight packaging.

What exactly do you mean by strong - we ask back. Because you can't have more caffeine than is in the bean. No matter how long you boil the coffee, the caffeine is the first to dissolve and even if you boil the coffee longer and try to extract everything you can - the caffeine content remains the same.

One of the most common questions is that of cleanliness. There are fanatics who only rinse their coffee machine with water and dry it off. But coffee contains oils that settle on the walls of your filter and stay there. This effect is less pronounced with filter coffee than with espresso, because oils leak out more the longer a coffee is roasted. It's best to rinse your coffee filter by hand, or put it in the dishwasher once a week (please check the instructions before doing this). This way you'll have clean equipment and as little soapy taste in your cup as possible.
