SWISS GOLD


















Now available at Brother!

SWISS GOLD one cup filters are affordable, no fuss, tough as nails and easy to use. They produce plenty of body with great flavour clarity what is not to like.

The SWISS GOLD Technique:

Begin the process by preparing the water. Once the water is boiling, it's important to cool it before pouring to prevent scorching the coffee.

While the water is boiling, prepare the coffee. Always use fresh coffee and, if possible, freshly ground coffee.

Dose: For our method, we recommend using 2 generous tablespoons of ground coffee.

Grind: Having a perfect grind size is very important to success in brewing . Too coarse of a grind will result in under-extracted coffee. Too fine will choke the brew resulting in over-extracted coffee. We find that a medium grind is a good place to start.

Place the SWISS GOLD filter on top of your cup.

Remove the perforated insert and put ground fresh coffee on the gold plated filter foil.

Replace the perforated insert. First, using a slow, steady pour fill just enough into the SWISS GOLD so that it saturates the coffee grinds . Wait 15 seconds, then continue to slowly pour water into the perforated insert according to the capacity of your cup (or taste).

Remove the SWISS GOLD filter and DRINK!

House Blend

We have made some really exciting changes to our House Blend which will take effect next week. We have exchanged some coffees for new ones that have became available to us and changed up the percentages. The House Blend is forever evolving and a work in progress we are really enjoying the benefits of roasting our own coffee.
