Pouring over the vacuum coffee maker

Coffee gadgets come and go, but the vacuum coffee maker seems here to stay.

Insert a filter, add your grounds to the tubular device, then pour in hot water. After a few minutes, hold the tube over your cup and press down – voila, great-tasting coffee!

Fans tout the vacuum coffee maker’s ability to produce low-acid brews while extracting every last aromatic compound. But what do you think?

In defense of the bean

As artisanal coffee brewers, we believe the origin and roast of the beans we use are reflected in the flavour, texture, and essence of the beverages we craft.

Recent developments in coffee cultivation, particularly the availability of shade-grown beans, mean you can sip and savour the delicate flavours of our coffee without the heavy burden of unsavoury ethics and poor agricultural practices.
