INFORMATION QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What type of coffee machine is best for espresso lovers?

If you're serious about espresso, a manual or semi-automatic machine gives you more control over pressure and extraction — ideal for fine-tuning your shot.

Can I use pre-ground coffee with your machines?

Yes, many of our machines support both ground coffee and whole beans. However, for the best flavour, we recommend grinding beans fresh before each brew.

Are your grinders adjustable for different brewing methods?

Absolutely. Our grinders allow for precise grind size adjustments — from fine espresso to coarse French press settings.

What’s the ideal grind size for pour-over coffee?

For pour-over, a medium grind (similar to table salt) is best. It allows for even extraction and a clean, balanced cup.

Do I need a scale and timer for home brewing?

While not essential, using a scale and timer can greatly improve consistency and help you master your brewing method, especially for pour-over and French press.

How do I clean and maintain my espresso machine?

Regular cleaning is essential. Flush the group head, clean the portafilter, and descale the machine every few weeks (frequency depends on your water hardness and usage).

What’s the shelf life of your coffee beans?

Our beans are best enjoyed within 4–6 weeks of roasting. We recommend storing them in an airtight container away from light and moisture.

Can I buy a starter kit as a gift?

Yes, we offer starter-friendly bundles that include a machine, grinder, and brewing tools — perfect for gifting to coffee lovers.
