🔧 Basic Brewing Setup – What You’ll Need
Before diving into the recipes, here’s what we recommend having on hand:
Precision scales (with or without timer)
Burr grinder (e.g. Comandante)
Your preferred brew method – V60, Origami, Kalita Wave, AeroPress, etc.
Freshly filtered or custom mineralized water (We use Lotus mineral drops and Apax Lab mineral concentrate drops)
Clean decanter or vessel
Pouring kettle (or regular kettle + steady hand)
Agitator or spoon for stirring
🔄 Tip: Always grind your coffee fresh before brewing for maximum aroma.
❄️ Storage Tip: Vacuum-seal in portions, label, and freeze if needed.
If you’re pulling espresso at home, we use the Profitec Pro600 and ProT64 grinder for consistent results.
