Will Kinta Loma coffee work in my cafetiere or drip machine?
Our Kinta Loma coffee can be used in any cafetiere, drip machine or device. The pods are Nespresso® compatible.
How much coffee should I order, is there a minimum amount?
A 227-gram bag of ground coffee yields approximately 20-30 cups of coffee (depending on size of cup/mug and intensity desired).
What is the best way to store coffee
Once roasted, coffee begins to lose its flavour the longer it is exposed to air and moisture. We recommend buying your coffee weekly, storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Coffee in an unopened and properly sealed bag can stay fresh for several months.
When will my coffee arrive?
If you live in the UK your coffee should arrive within 2 business days of you receiving the shipping notification from us. We use Royal Mail for all our shipping. If you live outside the UK your order will be shipped via Royal Mail Tracked and are expected to arrive in between 3 and 5 business days.
quantity
The start of a perfect cup of Kinta Loma coffee is based on the right ratio of coffee to water. This is the most important step in making great coffee. For the best tasting and most flavourful cup of coffee, Kinta Loma recommends using two tablespoons of ground coffee (10 grams) for each 180ml of water. If the taste is too strong, you can add a little hot water to your cup of brewed coffee to soften the taste or add a little more coffee to intensify the flavour.
grind
The Kinta Loma ground coffee that you have purchased has been ground to an optimum level for use in any standard cafetiere and drip machine or device. Different brewing methods have different grind requirements, so the grind of your coffee should always be matched to the brewing method being used. For a cafetiere/coffee press, we recommend that the coffee and water be in direct contact for about four minutes.
water
It is important to always use fresh, cold water as you start the brewing process. Heat the water to just before the boiling point. Remember, a cup of coffee is 98 percent water, therefore, the water you use to make coffee must be clean, fresh and free of impurities. Water heated to just prior to the boiling point (190° to 195° For 90° to 95° C) is ideal for extracting the coffee’s complete range and taste profile. If the water is not heated to this level then the water cannot extract the flavours appropriately.
freshness
Freshness is naturally an important element in the perfect cup of coffee. The enemies of coffee are oxygen, heat, moisture and light. To keep your Kinta Loma coffee as fresh as possible, we recommend that you store it in an airtight container at room temperature (ideally an opaque container). We do not recommend storing coffee in the refrigerator or freezer.
