Assembly Brew Recipes
With over 100 years of coffee-making experience across the Assembly team, we think we’re in a strong position to help you make the best of your beans.
We’ve collated starting recipes for our five favourite brew methods so you can embark on your journey to maximum flavour. These recipes are your starting point for dialling in on the cup that most pleases the palate.
Resting coffee
It’s important to note that our coffees begin to taste their best once they’ve been rested for at least 10 days after roasting. While they will taste exceptional if you brew them before this, you’ll enjoy them to their full potential if you can wait until they’re nicely rested.
Water
Remember, the water you’re using will have a significant impact on the quality of your cup. Water that’s too hard, or too soft, won’t facilitate effective extraction of flavour. At the very least, no matter the brew method, you need to be using filtered water.
This recipe is optimised to facilitate the qualities that define an exceptional espresso: prominent sweetness, low acidity and velvety texture.
An often ignored brew method, the French Press can offer a delicious cup rich, full-bodied and smooth.
A flat-bottom pour over brewer tends to offer more balanced acidity and more body than a conical pour over brewer.
A conical pour over brewer often produces more prominent acidity and more complexity of flavour.
Versatile and simple to use, the AeroPress produces excellent results in rapid-quick time.
