Greetings from Amsterdam (soon Barcelona)!

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. I’ve been in the process of dissolving the home Michal and I built together—sorting through memories, selling furniture, and preparing for a fresh start in Spain.

While it’s been emotional, it’s also been freeing. I’m heading to Barcelona light as a feather—with no excess baggage (emotional or physical).

But don’t worry—The Coffeevine is coming with me. A new workspace is ready, and I’m making all the arrangements to hit the ground running the moment I land.

Now, let’s focus on what you’re here for: this month’s epic lineup of coffees and recipes.

☕ What’s in the June Coffeevine Box?

This month’s selection features some absolute bangers from:

• Nordbeans

• Standout Coffee

• HAYB

• Apollon’s Gold

• Traffic

• Native Coffee

• A Matter of Concrete

If you’re looking to brew with intent, these recipes will guide your hand and elevate your daily ritual.

🔧 Basic Brewing Setup – What You’ll Need

Before diving into the recipes, here’s what I 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 (I use Lotus mineral drops – recipe coming soon!)

• 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, I use the Profitec Pro600 and ProT64 grinder for consistent results.
