FROM ORIGIN TO CUP

Roasted in Amsterdam we provide the coffee, Steeped produces the bags. Each one holds a single dose (15g) of one of our roasts, ground and flushed with nitrogen and sealed into a special filter that steeps in the cup the way a tea bag does. You do not need a grinder, a scale or a dripper. It began as the thing we threw in a suitcase for travel days and trade shows, and it worked well enough that we boxed it up to share with the rest of you, because a good coffee should not stop at the edge of your own kitchen.

Origin

Drop the bag in a cup and pour 240 ml of hot water slowly over it. Dunk it for thirty seconds, or longer if you like it stronger. Leave it five minutes, or until it tastes the way you want, then lift it out.

Varietal

Cassis: A washed field blend from the Rungeto cooperative on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Red currant leads, sharp and tart in the way only a Kenyan gets it, rhubarb comes in behind with a green edge, and pomegranate rounds the whole thing out with something juicier underneath. The acidity carries it from the first sip to the last. The Alchemist: An anaerobic natural Red Bourbon from Gasharu Farms in Rwanda, bought direct. It opens on tropical fruit, not the bright citric kind but ripe mango and papaya that have sat in the sun, and cacao sits under that, closer to a roasted nib than to a chocolate bar. Brewed as filter the fruit opens up; pulled as espresso the cacao takes over. Milky Cake: Our Castillo from Diego Bermudez in Colombia, the one people set an alarm for. Cardamom and pistachio up front, vanilla cake underneath, all the sweetness of a dessert with none of the weight. A cake in a cup, and it comes through the brew bag intact.

THE DAK BREW GUIDE

These are the recipes we use every day at the roastery and showroom. We keep them simple on purpose: water, ratio, grind size. The coffee does most of the work when the basics are right. Every setup is different, so treat these as a starting point. Adjust based on what you're tasting and what your equipment gives you.

• Ratio: 1:3
• Dose: 18g in (adjust as needed for your basket)
• Yield: 54g out
• Brew time: 35 seconds (use this as a guideline rather than a strict target)
• Pressure: 6 bars if possible, otherwise 9 bars
• Temperature: 94 degrees (if possible to change the temperature)
• Pre-infusion time: 5-10 seconds (if possible)

• Ratio: 1:18 • Dose: 15g in • Yield: 270ml out • Brew time: 3:00 - 3:30 minutes • Temperature: 96 degrees • Bloom with 75g of water for 1 minute • First pour to 170g, second pour to 270g

Water is 98% of your cup, so it changes everything. Mineral content varies between cities, neighbourhoods, and even seasons depending on which reservoir is supplying the tap. If your water is hard (above 150ppm), switch to a soft bottled water around 50ppm. Too soft is always better than too hard. The difference in the cup is immediate.

Ethiopian coffees
Ethiopian beans are more brittle and produce more fines when grinding. Too much agitation during brewing pushes those fines into the filter and slows everything down. Keep agitation low. If the cup still tastes over-extracted or the drawdown stalls, grind coarser and extend the ratio or brew time slightly to compensate.

The look of a shot
Naked portafilters show you what’s happening, but what you see has no reliable connection to what you’ll taste. A messy-looking shot can taste clean, and a photogenic one can taste flat. Taste every shot, even the ones outside your parameters, and adjust from there.

Crema
Crema is gas escaping coffee under pressure. It carries very few desirable flavour compounds and can actually taste harsh. Removing it will almost always improve the cup. With light roast espresso especially, ignore the crema and focus on what’s in the liquid.

Freezing coffee
Freezing keeps coffee at peak flavour, but roasted coffee can’t be thawed and refrozen without losing quality. Vacuum-seal in single doses before freezing. When you’re ready to brew, grind it frozen. Don’t let it thaw first. Every grinder handles frozen beans without issue, and the results are often better. One dose out, the rest stays sealed.
