Our recipes

These recipes reflect the approach to coffee served in our Showroom.The filter recipe is based on our own april Brewers (flat-based) and our april Paper Filters. As for espresso, the recipes are designed using a Modbar AV.

All of our grind settings reference a Ditting Sweet Lab 804 or a Mahlkonig EK43. You can adjust your grind settings as necessary and use the recommended brew time as a reference.

Begin your brew with an initial 100g pour. Use your first 30g of the pour to saturate the coffee bed evenly whilst implementing a circular pouring technique.

Continue your pour by completing the final 70g pour into the center of the coffee bed. Replicate this pouring format once again, commencing your second pour at 35 seconds. Finish the brew with a total brew time in 2:30-3:00 minutes.
