HOUSE BLEND 100g - Filter Coffee ( 80:20 )

In the cup

Balanced and smooth with a light caramel sweetness from the chicory and a clean coffee finish. More coffee forward than a standard supermarket blend, gentler than a 60:40. Rich aroma when the decoction first starts to drip.

Why 80:20

Twenty percent chicory is enough to give the decoction body and a touch of sweetness without taking over the cup. It is the ratio most people arrive at once they have tried both ends, and it is what we drink at the factory. If you want it stronger and sweeter, Brew at 60:40 is the one. If you want no chicory at all, Bold or Wild.

How to brew it

South Indian steel filter. Two heaped tablespoons in the upper chamber, press the disc down lightly, pour water just off the boil, and let it drip for fifteen to twenty minutes. One part decoction to three parts hot milk, sugar or jaggery to taste. Also works in a moka pot.

Who it's for

Daily household filter coffee where more than one person is drinking it and nobody wants an argument about strength. Also the right 100g pack to try if you have been drinking a 60:40 and wondering whether you would prefer more coffee.

What's in it
