Cafetiere Coffees

Cafetière coffee offers a perfect blend of convenience and flavour for those who crave a delightful cup without the fuss.

There's something uniquely satisfying about a freshly brewed cup of cafetière coffee. This classic method, also known as French press, involves steeping coffee grounds in hot water and then using a plunger to separate the rich, aromatic brew from the grounds. It's a straightforward yet highly effective way to craft a coffee that's both flavoursome and full-bodied.

Our coffee, omni-roasted to perfection, is versatile enough to be enjoyed through either filter methods like the cafetière or as an espresso, regardless of your brewing setup. The immersion process in French press brewing extracts oils and compounds from the coffee grounds, resulting in a cup that's rich and robust with a heavier mouthfeel. Typical flavour profiles include bold, intense notes that are deeply satisfying. For newcomers, we recommend starting with options from our mainstay coffee range, such as our House Roast, Organic House Roast, or Solidarity.

A simple recipe to get you started is 15 grams of coffee for every 250 grams of water. Feel free to tweak this ratio to suit your taste preferences. For the freshest experience, we always recommend purchasing whole beans, although pre-ground options are available for your convenience.

Cafetiere Coffee F.A.Q's

What's the best coffee for use in cafetiere?

The preference varies from one coffee drinker to another. However, medium to dark roasts or classic Brazilian and Colombian coffees traditionally exhibit profiles that truly stand out when brewed in a cafetière.

How do I use ground coffee?

Our ground coffee can be pre-ground for convenience to work with your chosen brewing method.

From the drop down menu on each coffee page, you will have a number of options to include filter (suitable for all electric filter coffee brewers, V60, Kalita, Clever dripper), Aeropress or cafetiere which is also commonly called French Press.

Is ground coffee the same as instant?

Ground coffee consists of finely crushed coffee beans, whereas instant coffee undergoes a unique process to become soluble granules.

Whilst we can admit that instant coffee isn't always that bad—it's still coffee, technically—there's a pretty big disparity when it comes to flavour and quality, with ground coffee being the undeniable winner.

Ground coffee is the product of carefully-roasted Arabica coffee beans, which are then finely ground to varying levels of coarseness.

Instant coffee usually uses Robusta beans, which have a less rich and complex flavour profile than Arabica. After roasting, the beans are brewed into a concentrated coffee liquid. This liquid is then dehydrated to form soluble coffee granules.

How should I store my ground coffee?

Storing ground coffee properly will keep it fresh for longer.

The best way to store ground coffee is to keep it away from air, moisture, heat, and light. Ideally, you'd store your coffee in an airtight container inside a cool, dark cupboard. The container should be as small as possible so that the amount of air it comes into contact with is limited.

Please just do not put your coffee in the fridge or freezer. That's not where it belongs.

How do I dispose of my waste coffee grounds?

You can dispose of your old coffee grounds in the bin or, even better, use them in your compost or as a fertiliser for your garden. Just don't put them in the sink—they'll clog.
