Every bag of Caféxtasis is small-batch roasted to bring bold, dessert-inspired flavors to your cup. How you brew makes all the difference. Follow these guides to get the most out of every grind.
☕ Drip / Pour Over
Clean, bright, and flavor-forward — the everyday ritual elevated.
What You'll Need
- Medium-fine grind (pre-ground for Drip/Pour Over)
- Drip coffee maker or pour-over dripper with filter
- Filtered water, heated to 195–205°F (just off boil)
Ratio
1–2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz of water. Adjust to taste.
Steps
- Place filter in dripper or machine basket. Rinse with hot water and discard rinse water.
- Add your Caféxtasis grounds.
- For pour over: start with a 30-second bloom — pour just enough water to saturate the grounds and let the CO₂ escape.
- Continue pouring in slow, circular motions until you reach your desired volume.
- For drip machine: fill the reservoir and brew as normal.
- Serve immediately for peak aroma and flavor.
Tip: Flavored coffees shine brightest black — try it without cream or sugar first.
🫙 French Press
Full-bodied and rich — lets every tasting note come through.
What You'll Need
- Coarse grind (pre-ground for French Press/Cold Brew)
- French press
- Filtered water at 200°F
Ratio
1:15 coffee to water — about 1 oz (28g) coffee per 15 oz (450ml) water.
Steps
- Preheat your French press with hot water, then discard.
- Add coarse grounds to the press.
- Pour hot water evenly over grounds. Give a gentle stir.
- Place the lid on top (plunger pulled up) and steep for 4 minutes.
- Slowly press the plunger down with steady, even pressure.
- Pour immediately — don't let it sit or it'll over-extract.
Tip: The coarser grind lets the flavoring oils bloom beautifully. Expect a heavier, more indulgent cup.
🧊 Cold Brew
Smooth, low-acid, and intensely flavored — dessert in a glass.
What You'll Need
- Coarse grind (pre-ground for French Press/Cold Brew)
- Large jar or cold brew pitcher
- Cold or room-temperature filtered water
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Ratio
1:4 coffee to water for concentrate, 1:8 for ready-to-drink.
Steps
- Combine coarse grounds and cold water in your jar.
- Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.
- Cover and refrigerate for 12–18 hours. Longer = stronger.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean container.
- Serve over ice. Dilute concentrate with water or milk to taste.
Tip: Cold brew amplifies sweet and chocolatey flavor notes. It's phenomenal with our Double Dark Chocolate or Bananas Foster roasts.
🔥 Espresso
Concentrated, intense, and bold — the purist's cup.
What You'll Need
- Fine grind (pre-ground for Espresso)
- Espresso machine or stovetop Moka pot
- Filtered water
Ratio
1:2 coffee to espresso — 18g grounds yields ~36g espresso.
Steps (Espresso Machine)
- Preheat your machine and portafilter.
- Dose 18g of fine grounds into the portafilter basket.
- Tamp firmly and evenly — aim for ~30 lbs of pressure.
- Lock in the portafilter and begin extraction. Target a 25–30 second pull.
- The shot should be rich, with a golden crema on top.
Steps (Moka Pot)
- Fill the bottom chamber with cold filtered water to just below the safety valve.
- Fill the filter basket with fine grounds, leveled but not tamped.
- Assemble and heat over medium-low flame.
- Remove from heat when you hear a gurgling sound — don't let it sputter.
Tip: Caféxtasis espresso shines as a base for lattes and cappuccinos — the flavoring holds beautifully through steamed milk.
