Education
Choose Your Brew
Drip Coffee
- Grind your beans to medium coarseness (similar to table salt).
- Add water aim for good preheated water in the reservoir if your model allows, but don’t exceed the machine’s recommended fill.
- Add filter and coffee Use a clean paper filter. Add your ground coffee to the filter and level it gently.
- Start the brew and let the machine do the work.
French Press
- Warm up the press by rinsing it with very hot water.
- Measure and grind Measure out 56g (about 8 Tablespoons) of coffee and grind it as coarse as breadcrumbs.
- Add water discard the hot water and add coffee into the empty press. Start your count-up timer as soon as you add hot water. Fill it up halfway to the top saturating all the grounds.
- Stir At 1:00, use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the top layer we call the crust.
- Add more water Now, fill it all the way to the top with water. Put the top on and allow the coffee to brew without pressing it down.
- Press At 4:00, you are ready to press. Firmly push the press all the way down.
- Serve and enjoy Serve it up. Pour coffee into a carafe immediately to avoid over extraction.
AeroPress
- Measure and Grind 17g of coffee - on rounded AeroPress spoonful or about 2 1/2 Tablespoons. Grind the coffee about as fine as table salt.
- Prep the AeroPress placing the filter in the basket. Next, preheat the brewer and rinse the filter with hot water.
- Add coffee Affix the basket to the bottom of the brew chamber and place it on top of the mug. If it’s handy, use the funnel that comes with the AeroPress to add 17g of coffee. Then, remove the funnel.
- Add water Start your timer when you pour hot water (just off the boil or about 205°F) into your brewer. Saturate all the grounds within 10 seconds. Pour to the No. 4 or 220g of water if you’re using a scale. Spin the chamber, making sure all the coffee is saturated.
- Place plunger and wait Once you hit the No. 4, stir the “slurry” (coffee and water mixture) and place the plunger on the brew chamber and pull up slightly to create a pressure seal. Don’t plunge yet!
- Stir and plunge At 1:15, remove the pressure seal and give the slurry another stir with a spoon or paddle. Put the plunger back on and gently press down with steady pressure, stopping as soon as you hear a hissing sound. This entire brew process should take just under two minutes and yield seven to eight ounces of coffee.
- Clean and enjoy
The Story
Founder's Blend is an easy-drinking coffee combining sweet certified organic coffees sourced from South and Central America, with the depth and complexity of an organic coffee from Sumatra, Indonesia. Each component was grown and processed under meticulous standards, ensuring an organic-certified supply chain from seed to cup. As with all of our coffees, the producers who contribute to this blend devote careful attention to cultivation, picking and processing—all of which contributes to the clean, full-bodied, chocolatey goodness you'll find in each cup.
We think this coffee tastes great filled all the way to the brim.
