Minimal equipment, max flavor. If you’re looking for something new to be snobby about, look no further.
Ways to enjoy crooked coffee
French Press
Nothing like finally plunging a french press. Plus, French things are elegant. Everyone knows that.
Cold Brew
Please stop shoving a pound of ice cubes into hot coffee and calling it iced.
Pour Over
1. Place the filter in your pour over and add 25 grams or just shy of 2 tablespoons of fine-to-medium ground coffee. If you order our coffee pre ground, it will be ground for pour over or drip coffee making.
2. Pour just enough water to wet the grounds, about 1-2 ounces of water
3. Let the grounds sit for 30 seconds to “bloom” then slowly pour in the remaining 6-7 ounces of hot (not boiling) water in a circling motion, moving from the center outward
4. The pour and brewing time should take two to three minutes
5. What else do you need to know?
Recommended brew: Medium Roast
French Press
1. Add a heaping tablespoon or 7-8 grams of coffee to the pot per 6.7 ounces of water
2. Pour hot water, not boiling, into the pot, and gently stir
3. Insert the plunger into the pot, stopping just above the water and ground coffee (do not get excited and plunge too early), and let steep for 3-4 minutes
4. Slowly press the plunger down with steady pressure
5. Your French Pressed coffee is now ready to enjoy
Recommended brew: Dark Roast
COLD BREW
1. Put 50-55g of medium to coarse ground coffee into your strainer or filter
2. Gently pour 22-24 ounces of filtered water onto the coffee grounds
3. Let the coffee brew (in the fridge or on the counter) for 14-16 hours, or the length of all Lovett’s rants combined
4. Sit back and enjoy your cold brew coffee while patting yourself on the back for planning more than 12 hours ahead
5. Sorry, we can’t tell you what to do after that. Maybe go for a walk or something?
Recommended brew: Dark Roast or Medium Roast
Drip Coffee (Do you seriously need this?)
1. First, ask yourself how you got this far in life without learning how to make drip coffee. Our education system is really failing us, huh?
2. Grab your medium-fine ground coffee. Our pre-ground is perfect for any drip coffee machine.
3. Place a filter into your machine. We recommend finding a reusable filter to reduce waste, but one made from the pulverized remains of an ancient, life-giving tree will do in a pinch.
4. Place the ground coffee into the filter. Didn’t see that coming, did you?
5. Add one heaping tablespoon of ground coffee for every cup (or 6 ounces) of coffee you want to brew. This is the only math in these instructions—we promise.
6. Add cold, filtered water to your machine’s reservoir. Yes, your coffee machine is a water snob.
7. Press the start button—that’s the big one
8. Enjoy! You have successfully made drip coffee and can now consider yourself a functioning adult.
Recommended brew: Dark Roast or Medium Roast
