Cafetiere Brewing Recipe

What you’ll need:

• A cafetiere
• Ground coffee (coarse)
• Scale
• Timer
• Hot water just off the boil (or roughly 96°C)
• Spoon or stirrer

We recommend a 1:16 ratio (but as always, adjust to your personal taste), and a coarse grind setting.

Method:

1. Start by pre-heating your cafetiere (remember to discard the water!)
2. Put the cafetiere on the scale, tare, and add your ground coffee. Cafetieres come in different sizes, so you’ll need to adjust your measurements to your situation and taste. A 500ml cafetiere, for example, would need about 31g of coffee. Tare the scale again.
3. Start the timer and add the hot water. Stir. Place the lid on top of the cafetiere but don’t plunge.
4. At 3:00, slowly push the plunger down to the bottom.
5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

• This is the classic cafetiere brew method. For those looking to try something different, or those who prefer a cleaner cup, you can try James Hoffmann’s method.

True North is our positive impact coffee, raising £1.00 in each retail bag for Trees for Life’s work to re-wild the Scottish Highlands.

We first got involved with Trees for Life in 2018 when we started our annual tree planting mission to offset our carbon footprint. The team has been out in sharp autumn winds and rain to plant a mix of Scots Pine, Rowan and Birch at Drundreggan estate and Grey Willow in Glen Affric.

Since the charity was founded in 1993 Trees for Life has planted an incredible 1.7 million trees with 10,000 volunteers, re-wilding some 4,000 hectares of land in the Scottish Highlands. About 6,000 years ago an estimated 1.5 million hectares of Scotland was covered in rich native pinewoods. Now only about 1% of this original forest is left, broken down into small and isolated fragments. Much of the wildlife dependent on the forest has been lost.

Trees for Life is committed to a much more ambitious vision than just tree planting. The charity is also at the forefront of promoting re-wilding as a new approach to land management that can benefit both wildlife and rural communities.

Other initiatives that Trees for Life have worked on include an assessment of the health of remaining pine wood fragments in partnership with The Woodland Trust. The Trees for Life Skills for Rewilding programme is an amazing opportunity for five people each year to spend 12 months, fully funded, learning practical skills required to gain employment in the Scottish environmental sector.

50% of funds raised by our True North blend will go directly to planting trees and the remaining 50% will be dedicated to rewilding. As Trees for Life’s Head of Fundraising & Engagement Colin Mackenzie-Blackman puts it: “Rewilding requires long-term vision and commitment, which is why we are delighted to be working with Glen Lyon Coffee and the launch of True North. The Trees for Life vision is of a revitalised wild forest in the Scottish Highlands, enabling communities to thrive and wildlife to flourish. With Glen Lyon’s generous support we are a step closer to realising that vision.”
