How do you make iced coffee with the Hario V60 Iced Coffee Maker?

You fill the ice chamber with ice cubes and brew coffee on top of it just as you are used to with your favourite V60 recipe.

The fresh coffee runs straight over the ice and cools down immediately, which gives you a fresh iced coffee while keeping the aroma. Use a filter grind for this, the same grind you use in a regular V60.

A plastic measuring scoop is included in the set, so you can easily measure out your coffee.

What kind of coffee is the Joerges Heritage Melange and what does it taste like?

The Heritage Melange is a blend in the style of Viennese coffee culture, put together from Arabica and Robusta beans.

The medium roast brings out soft, floral aromas, complemented by subtle notes of berries and nuts. The flavour profile is mild, nutty, floral and lightly fruity: harmonious rather than heavy.

Are Lazarro Crema Schümli beans suitable for my bean to cup machine?

Yes. According to the product details this blend is made specifically for bean to cup coffee machines, and also for espresso machines and coffee specialities.

A customer with a bean to cup machine asked us which coffee he could use without his grinder getting dirty from oily beans. Our answer was that in this price range many beans are somewhat darker and therefore oilier, but that the Lazarro crema is not bad in that respect. These beans are medium roasted and mild in intensity.

Which olives is the Accomando extra virgin olive oil made from?

This oil is made from 100 percent Nocellara del Belice olives from Mazara del Vallo in Sicily. The olives are harvested by hand between the end of September and the beginning of October and cold pressed within a few hours of the harvest. That keeps the oil rich in polyphenols and preserves its fresh, slightly spicy character.

How do you make Cinnamon and Almond green tea?

Allow about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup and use water at around 80 degrees. Let the tea steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

We advise against using boiling water, because it makes green tea bitter. Since this is loose leaf tea, you will need a tea strainer or a filter bag.

What is in the Tea Cultures Original Black Spice Chai?

This chai consists of black tea from Sri Lanka, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, cardamom and cloves. The spices are balanced so that no single element takes over: cinnamon and cardamom come to the fore, ginger and black pepper add a light kick and cloves give depth. All ingredients come from organic cultivation. If you have an allergy, always read the packaging you receive.

What is in the Mesjokke D.A.R.C. Angel 72% dark chocolate?

The ingredients are cocoa beans from the La Dalia region in Nicaragua, cane sugar from Paraguay and sunflower lecithin (a maximum of 0.2 percent). There is nothing more in it: it is a dark bar with 72 percent cocoa. The bar weighs 80 grams.

Are the dark roasted Kimbo beans from this trial pack suitable for my bean to cup machine?

You can, but do keep the following in mind. The three blends in this pack are dark roasted, and a dark roast gives an oilier, shinier bean surface. In a bean to cup machine that oil can build up over the long term in the grinder and the brewing unit.

Customers with a Jura or a comparable bean to cup machine ask us this question regularly, including specifically about the Kimbo dark roasts. Our advice: with regular maintenance of your machine this does not have to be a problem, and a single bag causes no harm under normal circumstances. If you would rather avoid oily beans altogether, the Kimbo trial pack Mild & Aromatic with 100% Arabica is the better choice.

Are the beans from the Kimbo pack Mild and Aromatic suitable for a bean to cup machine such as a Jura?

Yes. This pack is made up of mild, low-bitterness roasted Arabica blends, and those are clearly less oily than dark-roasted espresso beans. That is exactly why we recommend this profile to customers with a Jura or a comparable bean to cup machine.

A customer asked us earlier whether the Kimbo Espresso Bar Top Flavour 100% Arabica from this pack would be too oily, because the beans look shiny. Our answer at the time: these beans are not extremely oily like some dark roasts, so with normal maintenance of your machine you can use them without any problem.

Do these Senseo Strong coffee pods fit my Senseo machine?

These are the original, standard round Senseo coffee pods, so they fit the pod holders of Senseo coffee makers. For one cup you put one pod in the 1-cup holder, for two cups you use two pods in the 2-cup holder. Always lay the pod flat in the holder and press the rim down neatly, otherwise the water will run past it. If you are unsure about your model, check the manual of your machine.

Does the Tea Cultures Finest Jasmine contain caffeine?

Yes. Finest Jasmine is made from Chinese green tea and green tea naturally contains caffeine. The jasmine blossom only provides the scent and the flavour. If you are looking for a caffeine free floral tea, take a look at our rooibos and herbal infusions.

What kind of coffee is the Café du Jour Winter Coffee and what does it taste like?

The Winter Coffee is a warm, full blend with beans from Central and South America and from Indonesia.

It is a medium roast that drinks smoothly and has just enough bite for the morning. The blend is deliberately versatile, so whether you make espresso or filter coffee, it feels at home in both preparations.

There is a white haze on my Segafredo Intermezzo or De Roccis beans, is that mould?

No, that is almost never mould. What you see is crystallised caffeine and coffee oil moving to the outside of the bean. It looks like a white bloom, but it is harmless.

We see this more often with beans that have a higher robusta content, and within this selection in particular with the Segafredo Intermezzo and the De Roccis Qualità Oro Intenso. The taste of the coffee does not change because of it. If you are still unsure, feel free to send us a photo.

What is in the Italian Biscuit Duo with Cantuccini and Amarettini?

This duo consists of two bags: Cantuccini of 175 grams and Amarettini of 200 grams, together 375 grams of biscuits. The Cantuccini are Tuscan almond biscuits, the Amarettini small Italian bitter almond biscuits. Both biscuits are also available separately from us; in this duo you buy them as a fixed combination to go with your coffee.

How much water does the Brita Marella XL white hold?

The Brita Marella XL has a total capacity of 3.5 litres, of which 2 litres is filtered water. The upper reservoir holds the water that has not been filtered yet, which slowly passes down through the filter cartridge. Thanks to that generous capacity you need to refill less often than with a standard water filter jug.
