Archived products are unlikely to come back into stock. This can happen for many reasons, e.g. a limited coffee lot, the farmer no longer grows this coffee, etc.
Out of Season
Out of season products are likely to come back into stock next year. Coffee is seasonal and we try to maintain long lasting relationships with the farmers we work with.
Sold out
Sold out products are likely to come back into stock soon. This is usually due to a small delay in delivery or roasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grind size is best for a cafetière?
We recommend a coarse or medium-coarse grind. If you’re doing this visually, aim for a similar texture and size to sea salt granules. Since cafetière is an immersion brew method, where water and coffee sit together for several minutes, a finer grind can cause over-extraction and leave a muddy sediment in your cup. A coarse grind ensures a clean, sweet, and balanced brew.
If your grind looks like sand, or table salt, then it has likely been ground too fine. Most coffee grinders will have a ‘coarse’ or ‘medium-coarse’ setting on them. If you’re in any doubt though, please do get in touch with us and we can help you get the most from your cafetèire.
How does cafetière brewing affect the flavour of the coffee?
Unlike paper filter methods, which trap natural oils, a cafetière allows these oils to remain in the final cup. This results in a coffee with a heavier body and thicker mouthfeel.
It is excellent for highlighting the chocolate, nut, and caramel notes found in many of our single origins, particularly those from Colombia.
What is the correct coffee-to-water ratio for a cafetière?
As a starting point for cafetière coffee, we'd suggest 60g of coffee per 1 litre of water. For a standard 8-cup (1 litre) cafetière, this means using roughly 60g of coarse/medium-course ground beans, or 30g for a 500ml cafetiere.
You can adjust this slightly depending on how strong you like your morning cup, as this is somewhat a matter of personal taste.
