Brewing and storage
How do I make South Indian filter coffee?
Brew a decoction in a traditional two-chamber filter for 10 to 15 minutes, then mix one part decoction with two or three parts hot milk. Our step-by-step filter coffee guide has the full method.
How should I store my coffee?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dark, dry place, away from air, moisture, heat and light. Our coffee ships in a resealable zip-lock pack.
Which roast is best with milk?
Medium-dark or dark roast holds its flavour through milk and sugar. For black coffee, try light or medium-dark.
